Alvantes una manianica Tres horas antes del dia Novia di amor, ke tan galana sos * - De que estas tan demudada - Demudada de mi amado - Los cabellos tan revueltos - Revueltos del mi amado
Rise in the morning three hours after the day Bride of love, so beautiful are you * - Why are you so pale? - I am pale from the night - Your hair is so unruly - It is unruly from my lover
From Kanta Gayiko, Judeo-Spanish songs from Bulgaria, 2025 Kobi Zarco, Orit Perlman: voice Yarden Erez : ud, guitar, gumbush; violin, keyboard and arrangements Zeev Yaniv : darbuqa, sonaja, bendir, cajón
Two songs which address the bride’s state after her wedding night, similar to what in Spain is called an alborada. The second song takes the form of a dialogue, with questions posed to the bride and her responses forming the song.
