Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG
La plaza tiene una torre,
La torre tiene un balcón,
Y el balcón tiene una dama,
La dama una blanca flor.
Ha pasado un caballero
¡quién sabe por qué pasó!
Y se ha llevado la plaza
Con su torre y su balcón,
Con su balcón y su dama,
Su dama y su blanca flor.

The square has a tower
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
The square has a tower,
The tower has a balcony,
And the balcony has a lady,
The lady a white flower.
A gentleman has passed by
— who knows why! —
And he has taken the square
With its tower and its balcony,
With its balcony and its lady,
Its lady and her white flower.
