¿Dónde vais, Zagala
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): GER
¿Dónde vais, Zagala, Sola en el monte? Mas quien lleva el sol no teme la noche. ¿Dónde vais, María, Divina Esposa, Madre gloriosa De quien os cría? ¿Qué hareis si el día Se va al ocaso, Y en el monte acaso La noche os coge? Mas quien lleva el sol no teme la noche. El ver las estrellas Me cause enojos, Pero vuestros ojos Más lucen que ellas; Ya sale con ellas La noche oscura, A vuestra hermosura La luz se esconde; Mas quien lleva el sol no teme la noche.
