Dos horas ha que callejeo pero no veo, nerviosa ya, sin calma, al que le di confiada el alma. No vi hombre jamás que mintiera más que el majo que hoy me engaña; mas no le ha de valer pues siempre fui mujer de maña y, si es menester, correré sin parar, tras él, entera España.

Deux heures que je vais dans les rues Et que je ne vois pas, Nerveuse, sans paix, Celui à qui j'ai confié mon âme. Je n'ai jamais vu un homme qui mente plus que le beau qui aujourd'hui me trompe ; mais il devrait se méfier, car toujours j'ai été une femme rusée et si c'est nécessaire, je courrai sans arrêt après lui dans l'Espagne entière.
