Lyrics
Por sus ojos color cielo
Y sus dones de bondad,
La llamaban Virgencita
En el barrio Monserrat.
 
Todos, todos la querían
Y no hubo payador,
Que no cantara por ella,
En el barrio del Tambor.
 
Disputaban su cariño
Todos querían su honor,
Pero la Virgen del barrio
Soñaba con otro amor...
 
Cuántas veces a sus rejas
Perfumadas de jazmín,
Llegaron las serenatas
De uno y otro confín...
 
Marchitaron los jazmines
Ya no se oye la canción,
En esas noches de luna
Junto al pie de su balcón.
 
En todo el barrio se sabe,
Que la flor de Monserrat,
Ha entregado sus amores
A un Convento de Piedad...
English translation
For her sky-colored eyes
And her gifts of kindness,
They called her Virgencita
In the Monserrat neighborhood.
 
Everyone, everyone loved her
And there was no payador,
Who did not sing for her,
In the neighborhood of the Drum.
 
They disputed her affection
Everyone wanted her honor,
But the Virgin of the neighborhood
Dreamed of another love...
 
How many times at her bars
Perfumed with jasmine,
Serenades came
From one end and the other...
 
The jasmines have withered
The song is no longer heard,
On those moonlit nights
By the foot of her balcony.
 
It is known throughout the neighborhood,
That the flower of Monserrat,
Has given her loves
To a Convent of Mercy...
