by Gustavo Caraballo (1885 - 1939)

Canción del carretero
Language: Spanish (Español) 
En las cuchillas se pone el sol;
las golondrinas han vuelto ya,
y por la senda del campo verde
un carretero cantando va:

"Alma de mi alma, ¡como lloré!
bajo este cielo lleno de sol,
cuando agitastes en la tranquera
tu pañuelito diciendo adiós.

¡Ay, paisanita! Vuelve a mi amor.
Sin ti, mi vida no puede estar.
Las madreselvas se han marchitado
y las calandrias no cantan ya.

¡Ay, paisanita! Vuelve a mi amor.
Hecha tapera la casa está,
y entre los sauces llora el remanso
porque tus labios no cantan más."

En las cuchillas se ha puesto el sol
mientras la tarde muriendo está;
y así cantando va el carretero
las desventuras de su cantar.
