Mi sposica 'sta 'n el baño vistida di colorado. Echate a la mar, échate a la mar y alcanza, échate a la mar. Si a la mar yo bien m'echaba, si la siñora licencia me daba, échate a la mar. échate a la mar y alcanza... Entre la mar y la peña, creció un arbol de canela. Echate a la mar, échate a la mar y alcanza... Mi sposica 'sta 'n el río vistida di amarillo. Echate a la mar, échate a la mar y alcanza... Si a la mar yo bien m'echaba, si la siñora licencia me daba, échate a la mar. échate a la mar y alcanza... Entre la mar y el río, creció un arbol de bembrillo. Echate a la mar, échate a la mar y alcanza...
My wife is at the bath dressed in red throw yourself into the sea throw yourself into the sea and reach him... throw yourself into the sea I would throw myself into the sea if the lady would give me permission throw yourself into the sea throw yourself into the sea and reach him... Between the sea and the rock grows a cinnamon tree throw yourself into the sea throw yourself into the sea and reach him... I would throw myself into the sea if the lady would give me permission throw yourself into the sea
throw yourself into the sea and reach him…
My wife is at the river
dressed in yellow
throw yourself into the sea
throw yourself into the sea and reach him…
From Arboleras - De las altas mares, Ecos Sefardies de la isle de Rodas, cd 2, 2009 This is a song for a bride's ritual bath, typically laden with mages of beauty and sensuality.
