Cuando la luz del cielo, capullo de
De las flores del campo, del festil que amo tanto
Que ya loco de amor, siento celos del agua, del aire y del sol
Martha capullito de rosa, Martha del jardin linda flor
Dime que feliz mariposa, en tu caliz se posa a libar tu dulzon
Martha en tus claras pupilas, vibra una aurora de amor
Martha en tus ojos azules, de inefable candor
Martha, en tus ojos azules de inefable candor
Veo en ellos a Dios
