Apegado a mí
Language: Spanish (Español)
Velloncito de mi carne, que en mi entraña yo tejí, velloncito friolento, ¡duérmete apegado a mí! La perdiz duerme en el trébol escuchándole latir: no te turben mis alientos, ¡duérmete apegado a mí! Hierbecita temblorosa asombrada de vivir, no te sueltes de mi pecho: ¡duérmete apegado a mí! Yo que todo lo he perdido ahora tiemblo de dormir. No resbales de mi brazo: ¡duérmete apegado a mí!
