by Leopoldo Lugones Argüello (1874 - 1938)

Gorjea en su plen itud
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Gorjea en su plen itud
El pajarillo amoroso,
Y en mi pecho silencioso
Se angustia una honda inquietud.

Canta, canta, sin cesar.
Con trino tan claro y fuerte,
Que puede darse la muerte
Del exceso de cantar.

Canta. canta su pasión
Hasta morir dulce y blando...
Tú mueres mejor callando,
Valeroso corazón.
