by José Iglesias de la Casa (1748 - 1791)

Dos tórtolas tiernas
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Dos tórtolas tiernas,
Que Alexi en un nido
Se encontró á la Aurora,
Me regaló fino.

De miel una orzuela
Yo en pago le envio,
Y mas si tuviera
Presentes mas ricos.

Que el panal mas dulce
Para el gusto mio
Solo es ver el rostro
De mi Pastorcillo;

Y mas cuando ufano 
Me dá un canastillo 
De frescas manzanas 
Llenas de rocío.

Luego que en mis brazos 
Vé que lo he cogido,
Se rie ; y me dice.... 
Mas no, no lo digo.
