Del cabello más sutil
(1921)
Del cabello más sutil
Del cabello más sutilQue tienes en tu trenzadoHe de hacer una cadenaPara traerte a mi lado.Una alcarraza en tu casa,Chiquilla, quisiera ser,Para besarte en la boca,Cuando fueras a beber.
From the finest hair
From the finest hairin your tressesI wish to make a chain to draw you to my side.In your house, young girl, I'd fain be a pitcher, to kiss your lipswhenever you went to drink. Ah!
Translations by Jacqueline Cockburn and Richard Stokes published in the The Spanish Song Companion (Gollancz, 1992)

Chiquilla, quisiera ser,
Para besarte en la boca,
Cuando fueras a beber.
