Texts and Translations Vos me matasteis, Joaquín Rodrigo

You Killed Me, English Translation © Richard Stokes

Vos me matásteis, niña en cabello, vos me habéis muerto.

Riberas de un río ví moza vírgen, Niña en cabello, vos me habéis muerto.

Niña en cabello vos me matásteis, vos me habéis muerto.

You killed me, girl with hair hanging loose, you have slain me.

By the river bank I saw a young maiden.

Girl with hair hanging loose, you have slain me.

Girl with hair hanging loose, you have killed me, you have slain me

De dónde venís amore, Joaquín Rodrigo

Where have you been, my love?

English Translation © Richard Stokes

¿De dónde venís, amore?

Bien sé yo de dónde. ¿De dónde venís, amigo?

Fuere yo testigo! ¡Ah! Bien sé yo de dónde.

Asturiana, Manuel de Falla Por ver si me consolaba, arrímeme a un pino verde, Por verme llorar, lloraba.

Y el pino como era verde, por verme llorar, lloraba!

Where have you been, my love?

I know well where.

Where have you been, my friend?

Were I a witness ah!

I know well where!

Asturian song English Translation © Jacqueline Cockburn To see if it might console me I drew near a green pine.

To see me weep, it wept.

And the pine, since it was green, wept to see me weeping!

El majo dolorosa, Enrique Granados ¡Ay majo de mi vida, no, no, tú no has muerto! ¿Acaso yo existiese si fuera eso cierto?

The Sorrowful Woman English Translation © Michael P. Rosewall Ah, man of my life, No, no - you haven’t died!

How could I continue to exist If this were true?

¡Quiero, loca, besar tu boca!

Quiero, segura, gozar más de tu ventura, ¡ay!, de tu ventura.

I want, irrationally, to kiss your mouth!

I want, truly, to cast my lot with yours, Ah, with yours!

Mas, ¡ay!, deliro, sueño: mi majo no existe.

En torno mío el mundo lloroso está y triste. ¡A mi duelo no hallo consuelo!

Mas muerto y frío siempre el majo será mío. ¡Ay! Siempre mío.

Ah! Still I rant and dream; My man no longer exits.

All about me the world Is weeping and sad.

For my sorrow there is no consolation!

Even dead and cold, my man will be mine, Ah, always mine.

El majo discreto, Enrique Granados

The Discreet Lover English Translation © Pamela Narbona Jerez

Dicen que mi majo es feo.

Es posible que sí que lo sea, que amor es deseo que ciega y marea.

Ha tiempo que sé que quien ama no ve.

Mas si no es mi majo un hombre que por lindo descuelle y asombre, en cambio es discreto y guarda un secreto que yo posé en él sabiendo que es fiel. ¿Cuál es el secreto que el majo guardó?

Sería indiscreto contarlo yo.

No poco trabajo costara saber secretos de un majo con una mujer.

Nació en Lavapiés. ¡Eh, ¡eh! ¡Es un majo, un majo es!

Some say that my beloved is homely.

It is possible that he may be, For love is desire Which blinds and dizzies.

For long have I known That loving is not seeing.

But if my beloved is not a man Whose beauty turns heads and astonishes, Then he is discreet And the keeper of a secret That I entrusted to him Knowing that he is true.

What could this secret be That my beloved is safeguarding?

It would be indiscreet For me to reveal it.

It is no small feat to learn The secrets between a man and a woman.

He was born in Lavapiés.

He is handsome, handsome is he!

El jilguerillo con pico de oro, Blas De Laserna

The Little Goldfinch with the Golden Beak

El pequeño jilguero con el pico oro Canta sonoro, hermoso Cruza la selva de rama en rama y busca al que ama A través de la selva de rama en rama Buscando su amorThe Little Goldfinch with the G T

The little goldfinch with the golden beak Sings sonorous, beautifully He crosses through the jungle from branch to branch and looks for the one he loves Through the jungle branch to branch Searching for his love

La Sombra Salió del Monte, Juan Bautista Plaza

The Shadow Came Down the Mountain

La sombra salió del monte A pastorear la garua, Amadrinó los chaparros, Y enchiqueró la laguna.

The shadow came down the mountain To send the mists to the meadows, Tying the oaks close in copses, Binding the lake in its beaches.

La sombra salió del monte Y se fué por la llanura, Asaltando los caminos El canto de las lechuzas.

The shadow came down the mountain Over plains the sun had blasted While across the lonely pathways The owls called, their gloomy hootings

La sombra salió del monte, Salió del monte a la luna, Y al toparse con mis huellas Se quedó meditabunda.

The Shadow came down the mountain, Came down the mountain towards the moon And when it came across my footprints It stayed there in thoughtful meditation

Con amores la mi madre, Fernando Obradors

Due to your love, Mother English Translation © Laura Prichard

Con amores, la mi madre, Con amores me dormí; Así dormida soñaba Lo que el corazón velaba, Que el amor me consolaba Con más bien que merecí.

Adormecióme el favor Que amor me dió con amor; Dió descanso a mi dolor La fe con que le serví Con amores, la mi madre, Con amores me dormí!

Due to your love, mother, With loving, I fell asleep; While sleeping, I dreamed What was in my waking heart, That love consoled me More than I deserved.

I was lulled to sleep through the favor Of your love given to me lovingly; I was allowed to relax from my pain Through faith which supports me Due to your love, mother, With loving, I fell asleep!

Las locas por amor, Joaquín Turina "Te amaré, diosa Venus, si prefieres que te ame mucho tiempo y con cordura."

Y respondió la diosa de Citeres: --"Prefiero, como todas las mujeres, que me amen poco tiempo y con locura."

Mad for Love English Translation © Emily Ezust "I shall love you, goddess Venus, if you wish for me to love you for a long time and with good sense."

And the goddess of Cythera responded, "I prefer, as all women do, for you to love me for a short time and with madness."

Definición, Salvador Moreno

Cielito lindo, Quirino Mendoza y Cortés Arr. C. P. Stevens De la Sierra Morena Cielito lindo, vienen bajando, Un par de ojitos negros, Cielito lindo, de contrabando

Ese lunar que tienes, Cielito lindo, junto a la boca, No se lo des a nadie, Cielito lindo, que a mí me toca.

That mole you have Sweet sky, next to the mouth, Don't give it to anyone Sweet sky, that's my turn.

Siempre que te enamores, mira primero, mira primero Donde pones los ojos, cielito lindo, no llores luego
