  La rosa enflorese en el mez de May,
  Mi alma s'escurese sufriendo del amor.
  Los bilbilicos cantan sospiran del amor,
  Y la pasión me mata muchigua mi dolor.
  Más presto ven Palomba más presto ven a mí,
  Más presto tú mi alma que yo me vo morir.
  
  The roses bloom in the month of May,
  But my soul's full of gloom suffering in love.
  The nightingales sing and are sighing in love,
  The passion will kill me, multiply my pain.
  Come faster, oh dove, come faster to me,
  Come faster, my soul, because I shall die.
