, la más linda de las pebetas, tejía sus amores con un Don Juan; él, con palabras buenas y cariñosas, le prometió quererla con loco afán. Confiada en sus promesas, una mañana ató toda su ropa y se fugó; cegada por el lujo siguió la caravana y el alma del suburbio así grito: ¡No dejes a tus viejos!

El viento le traía dulces recuerdos, pasajes de su vida llenos de sol; y el alma del suburbio, hasta su pieza, como una voz lejana le recordó...

Sick of life, without a consolation, overcome forever by pain, she thought of her old people that she left one day in the little white house where she was born. The wind brought back sweet memories, passages of her life full of sunshine; and the soul of the suburb, to his room, like a distant voice reminded her...
