Spanish woman, why did you do this to me?
Did you have to take my heart
And rip it apart?

Spanish woman, I trusted you
Why did you have to deceive me so?
When first we met
I thought you someone kind and gentle
Alas! That seeming innocence
Has pierced my heart so fiercely!

Spanish woman, so far away
From your native shores in Santo Domingo
You have captivated this poor indio
Now you return to your fiance
After deluding me and taking me to magnificent heights!

Spanish woman, I wish you good luck
But please do not do to him
What you’ve done to me

Do not bind him with your deceptive majesty
It would be better
If you set him free
Like you’ve done to me.
