by Leopoldo Lugones Argüello (1874 - 1938)

Vidalita (Canción al estilo popular)
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Bien haya ese sabio,
Vidalita,
que tenga el poder,
de aliviarme el alma,
Vidalita,
del mal del querer.

En vano los traen,
Vidalita,
para mi salud,
y ellos me recetan,
Vidalita,
hierbas de virtud.

Pero es que no saben,
Vidalita,
y este es mi pesar,
que no bien te miro,
Vidalita,
no quiero sanar.

Como flor picada,
Vidalita,
por el picaflor,
llora miel la herida,
Vidalita,
que hiciste a mi amor. 

Porque no hay regalo,
Vidalita,
Mejor para mi,
que el de ese piquito,
Vidalita,
que me hiere así.
