by Leopoldo Lugones Argüello (1874 - 1938)

Vidalita (Canción al estilo popular)
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Chosen for Diff
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.
