Quén es esto de la ventana que mos amostra tant' amor, o es la strella de la mañana, o son los ojos de mi amor. Non es la strella de la mañana, ni son los ojos de mi amor, si non es esto un vergel vedre que arelumbra el me corazón. Si el mi corazón ventana tenía por poder adientro mirar, campos y viñas se despertaban de sentir tanto dolor.
What is this window that shows us so much love? Or is it the morning star, or are they the eyes of my love? It is not the morning star, nor are they the eyes of my love, if this is not a green orchard that lights up my heart. If my heart had a window That could reveal what is within, fields and vineyards would wake up from feeling so much pain.

This philosophical love song marvels at a beautiful light seen through a window and wonders if it is the morning star or the eyes of their beloved. It turns out to be neither, but rather a green orchard that illuminates the heart. If their heart itself had a window, the world would see the depth of their sorrow.
