4. Fe mía
No me fío de la rosa  de papel,  tantas veces que la hice  yo con mis manos.  Ni me fío de la otra  rosa verdadera,  hija del sol y sazón,  la prometida del viento.  De ti que nunca te hice,  de ti que nunca te hicieron,  de ti me fío, redondo  seguro azar. 
I do not trust the rose
of paper, So many times I did
I with my hands.
I do not trust the other
Real rose,
Daughter of the sun and seasoning,
The bride of the wind.
Of you I never did,
Of you that never made you,
I trust you, round
