A La Orilla De Un Palmar

Ana Gabriel · Joyas De Dos Siglos

A la orilla de un palmar
yo vi de una joven bella
su boquita de coral
sus ojitos dos estrellas

Al pasar le pregunte
que quien estaba con ella
y me respondi llorando
sola vivo en el palmar

Soy huerfanita ah!
no tengo padre ni madre
ni un amigo ah!
que me venga a consolar

Solita paso la vida
a la orilla de un palmar
y solita voy y vengo
como las olas olas del mar

Soy huerfanita ah!
no tengo . . .
