Poemas a su amada con fiel veneración

Y en esos versos su amor le confesaba

Su vida le ofrendaba con eterno fervor

Antiguamente la mujer conservaba

Las flores disecadas
The dried flowers
En cartas de su amor

Igual tesoro con cintas las ataba

Por siempre las guardaba dentro del tocador

Como en el pasado

Yo tu caballero

Como aquellos tiempos

De capa y espada

Y yo tu dama

¡Azúca'!

Chico, eso es mío

No te metas en mi territorio ¿okay?

Con flores y poesía, ardiente y soñador

Con elegancia con gracia y cortesía

Nacía la fantasía sublime del amor

Antiguamente, la mujer escuchaba
In the past, the woman listened
Romántica, extasiada, la voz de un trovador
Romantic, ecstatic, to the voice of a troubadour
Ruborizada, fragante, emocionada
Blushing, fragrant, excited
El alma le entregaba cautiva de ilusión
She gave her soul, captive of illusion
Como en el pasado

Y con una serenata la mujer

Más ingrata le abría su balcón
