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.
