Language: Spanish (Español) after the Russian (Русский)
Chosen for Diff
Soy una gitanilla, Gitano no común, Pues sé decir la buena ventura. Pon en mi mano, en mi manita, Monedillas bien sonantes Y revelaré la buena suerte. Buena o mala, te revelaré tu suerte. Si algo te acontece O si la pena te agobia, Mándame buscar Yo tengo mil remedios. Y te hago mi reverencia, Mi tortolito lindo y tierno, Porque el tiempo apremia Y yo me escapo. ¡Ah!
