[I. O Guadalaxara!]

O Guadalaxara!
Thy beautiful river
Is rolling on ever
Its waters so clear.
O Guadalaxara!
Thy evergreens, bending
Their wide boughs, are lending
A shadow, how dear.
O Guadalaxara!
Thy current is flowing,
Like gales softly blowing,
Or flutes breathing near.
The town of Pesara
Stands brightly beside thee,
And gay galleys ride thee,
O Guadalaxara!
