Le roi disait, en la voyant si belle,
A son neveu:
“Pour un baiser, pour un sourire d’elle,
Pour un cheveu,
Infant Don Ruy, je donnerais l’Espagne
Et le Pérou!”
Le vent qui vient à travers la montagne
Me rendra fou.
(The King, seeing her so beautiful, said to his nephew, “For one kiss, for a smile, for one hair of her head, Infante Don Ruy, I would give Spain and Peru.” The wind that blows over the mountain will drive me mad.)
Victor Hugo (Gastibelza).
