La Siesta
Spanish source: Anon.

Con el viento murmuran,
madre, las hojas,
Y al sonido me duermo
bajo su sombra!

So pla un manzo viento
alegre Y suave
che mueve la nave
la nave de mi pen sa miento
Da me tal contento
que y a me parece
quel el Cielo me ofrece
El bien por des hora

Y al sonido me duermo
bajo su sombra

Si a caso recuerdo
me halo entre las flores
Y de mis dolores
a penas me acuerdo
De vista los pierdo
Del sueno vencida
Y da me la vida
El suen de las hojas

Y al sonido me duermo
bajo su sombra!
