Where do you go Alfonso XII
where do you go so sad?
I search for Mercedes,
because I didn't see her yesterday
because I didn't see her yesterday.
Your Mercedes has died
She was dead when I saw her.
Four earls carried her
through the streets of Madrid.
Through the streets of Madrid.
To the Escorial she was carried
and there she was burried
in a lined coffin
made from crystal and ivory
made from crystal and ivory.
The drapery that covered her
was blue and scarlet
with borders of gold and silver
and more than thousand carnations
and more than thousand carnations
She has died, the flower of May
She has died, who has reigned.
She has died, the flower of April
At the court of Madrid
at the court of Madrid.
