Altosa un día por entre los rosales
Hermoso cerro de Santa Lucía
Hay un jilguero
Picando una flor
Al abrir el día
Lo vimos los dos
¡Ay Elena del alma, por Dios te lo pido
Me des, una rosa
Me des un clavel!
El pájaro canta
El ave sonríe
Y el árbol se mece con suave armonía
Ese hermoso árbol
Tupido de aroma
El pájaro canta
Se asoma la aurora
¡Ay Elena del alma, por Dios te lo pido
Me des, una rosa
Me des un clavel!
Las flores más lindas
Del jardín florido
Que adejeré
Nacieron en tiempos felices
Por fin el destino
Vino a deshojar
Las hermosas flores
De un bello jardín
¡Ay Elena del alma por Dios te lo pido
Me des una rosa
Me des un clavel!
¡Ay Elena del alma por Dios te lo pido
Me des una rosa
Me des un clavel!
