Cualquiera que el tejado Tenga de vidrio, No debe tirar piedras Al del vecino. Arrieros semos; ¡Puede que en el camino Nos encontremos! Por tu mucha inconstancia Yo te comparo Con peseta que corre De mano en mano; Que al fin se borra, Y creyéndola falsa ¡Nadie la toma!

Quiconque a un toit De verre Ne doit pas lancer de pierres Sur le voisin. Nous sommes des muletiers ; Il se peut qu'en chemin Nous nous rencontrions ! Pour ta grande inconstance Je te compare À une peseta qui court De main en main ; Qui à la fin s'efface, Et la croyant fausse Personne ne la prend !
