Mi guitarrita querida amiga de mis amores. Vuelve en la noche hoy, junto a la reja, el dulce trino; amor de , aroma de jazmín y de glicina, luna, canción y ella con su amor. Fue la guitarra así, mi compañera, la que llenó mis noches de ilusión, la que alegró mi vida de bohemia, y encadenó mis sueños a su amor. Lloré, reí, viví, sufrí, buscando dulce prenda, canté, soñé, perdí, gané, y no encontré la huella. Al fin triunfé, bebí su amor, me encariñé a sus trenzas y la sentí en mi vida junto a mi corazón. Como un recuerdo que ha vuelto otra vez, que yo siempre alenté, que yo siempre soñé. Hoy te busco como al sueño azul, con deseo de alcanzar tu amor, como una imagen que no borraré la que siempre guardé y que nunca olvidé el recuerdo que tu amor me dio, es nostálgico querer.

My dearest little guitar friend of my loves. Come back in the night today, by the fence, the sweet trill; payador's love, scent of jasmine and wisteria, moon, song and she with her love. It was the guitar thus, my companion, the one that filled my nights with illusion, the one that brightened my bohemian life, and chained my dreams to her love. I cried, I laughed, I lived, I suffered, searching for a sweet garment, I sang, I dreamed, I lost, I won, and found no trace. At last I triumphed, I drank her love, I became attached to her braids and I felt her in my life next to my heart. Like a memory that has come back again, that I always encouraged, that I always dreamed of. Today I look for you like a blue dream, with desire to reach your love, like an image that I will not erase the one I always kept and that I never forgot the memory that your love gave me, it is nostalgic to want.
