by Leopoldo Lugones Argüello (1874 - 1938)

Los puñalitos (Copla)
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Al hilo de estas coplas, en frágil sarta,
cada sílaba es perla que te adoceno,
para que así en mensaje de amor, la carta
les dé sus blancas alas hasta tu seno.

Que estos versos te infundan principios sabios
de la blanda doctrina de los amantes.
Y que te rimen besos sus consonantes
Como labios de fuego sobre tus labios.

Besos que son por crueles más exquisitos,
aunque así nos trastornan cordura y calma,
con su reñido choque de puñalitos,
de puñalitos de oro que van al alma.
