CANTIGA DE AMIGO | DAUGHTER, YOU WENT TO THE DANCE ... | ||
Pero Meogo | tr. James H.Donalson (from Galician) | ||
Fostes, filha, en o bailar e rompestes i o brial, pois o namorado i vem esta fonte seguide-bem pois o namorado i vem. Fostes, filha, en o loir e rompestes i o vestir, poi-lo cervo i vem esta fonte seguide-a bem poi-lo cervo i vem. E rompestes i o brial que fezestes ao meu pesar, poi-lo cervo i vem esta fonte seguide-a bem, poi-lo cervo i vem. E rompestes i o vestir que fezestes a pesar de mi. poi-lo cervo i vem esta fonte seguide-a bem, poi-lo cervo i vem. |
Daughter, you went to the dance, it was there you tore your blouse, since your lover went there too; and the fountain's flowing still, since your lover went there too. Daughter, you went to the ball and while there you tore your dress. As the deer go there this fountain's flowing still as the deer go there. It was there you tore your blouse which you did to my despite. As the deer go there this fountain's flowing still, as the deer go there. And while there you tore your dress, which you did in spite of me, As the deer go there this fountain's flowing still as the deer go there. |
