Folías
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Volaba la palomita
Por encima del verde limón,
Con las alas aparta las ramas,
Con el pico lleva la flor.

Arrojóme las manzanetas
Por encima del manzanar;
Arrojómelas y arrojéselas
Y tornómelas a arrojar.

Si jamás duermen mis ojos,
Madre mía, ¿que harán?,
Que como amor los desvela,
Pienso que se morirán.

Quien dijo muerte al amor
Libre de pesares era;
Mejor dijera dolor
Y más natural le fuera.

Una mora en mí enamora,
Por ser mora de nación,
Mas no es mora pues que mora
Dentro de mi corazón.
