De las Sierras
Language: Spanish (Español)
De las Sierras donde vengo, Vi tal hato y tal placer, Allá me quiero volver. ¡Oh qué sierras!, ¡Oh qué prados! ¡Oh qué fuentes, qué lugar! Dichosos son los cuidados Que se saben emplear. Quien no se sabe mudar Nunca debiera nacer. Allá me quiero volver. Allá me quiero volver.
