Original text · Spanish

Prado verde y florido, fuentes claras,
alegres arboledas y sombrías.
Pues veis las penas mías cada hora,
contadlas blandamente a mi pastora,
que si conmigo es dura,
quizá la ablandara vuestra frescura.
El fresco y manso viento que os alegra,
está de mis suspiros inflamado.
Y pues os ha dañado hasta ahora,
pedid vuestro remedio a mi pastora,
que si conmigo es dura,
quizá la ablandará vuestra frescura.
