This is day 5 of the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in which I attempt to blog every day (excepting Sundays) throughout the month of April. For this challenge, I am curating a collection of “classical” music pieces, which are lesser known or by lesser known composers (to me at least).Today’s composer is Juan del Enzina (Born: July 12, 1468, Salamanca, Spain Died: 1529, Toledo, Spain). |
“Pedro, bien te quiero”
“Pedro, bien te quiero” is a dialogue between a Lady and a herdsman warrior who is in love with her.
Here are the words and a translation:
-Pedro, bien te quiero, maguera vaquero. -Has tan bien baylado, -Alafé, nuestr’ama, -No sé qué te diga. -Soy en todo presto, -Quiero que me quieras, -Nuestr’ama señora, |
Pedro, well I love you, Although you are a herdsman. You have danced, Raced, and battled so well That I have fallen in love, And die from it. By my faith, madam, I don’t know what to say to you, I am in everything quick, I want you to love me, Madam, lady, I was born at a good hour; |
