Words by Luis De Gongora (1581).
Fortune presents gifts not according to the book Fortune presents gifts not according to the book When you expect whistles it's flutes When you expect flutes it's whistles.
What various paths are followed in distributing honours and possesions She gives awards to some and penitent's cloaks to others
When you expect whistles it's flutes When you expect flutes it's whistles.
Sometimes she robs the chief goatherd of his cottage and and goatpen And to whomever she fancies the lamest goat has born two kids
When you expect whistles it's flutes When you expect flutes it's whistles.
Because in a village a poor lad has stolen one egg He swings in the sun and another gets away with a thousand crimes
When you expect whistles it's flutes When you expect flutes it's whistles. |
