Qué hermosa eres, mi linda muchacha, Tan profundamente enamorado estoy; Y te seguiré amando, querida, Hasta que todos los mares se sequen. Hasta que todos los mares se sequen, querida, Y las rocas se derritan con el sol; Te seguiré amando, querida, Mientras corran las arenas de la vida. Y que te vaya bien, mi único amor. ¡Y que te vaya bien por un tiempo! Y volveré, amor mío, aunque sean diez mil millas.
