by Enrique García Velloso (1880 - 1938)

Pobres jazmines criollos
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Pobres jazmines criollos!
¡Qué triste es vuestra misión! 
Mensajeros amorosos
me hablasteis de una pasión, 
y quizás seais verdugos
del mismo que os arrancó.
¡Pobres jazmines criollos!
¡Qué triste es vuestra misión! 
¡Lindos jazmines criollos
de blancura sin igual!
Si nacisteis bajo el cielo
de nuestra tierra natal,
¡Lindos jazmines criollos
de blancura sin igual!
Cumplid el bello destino
de heraldos de libertad.
¡Pobres jazmines criollos!
¡Qué triste es vuestra misión! 
Mensajeros amorosos
me hablasteis de una pasión, 
y quizas seais verdugos
del mismo que os arrancó.
¡Pobres jazmines criollos!
¡Que triste es vuestra misión!
