The romance about The Deceived Woman (La mujer engañada) is formulated like a lullaby. The protagonist, in the first person, tells about the betrayal of her adulterous husband, recounting how she followed him and discovers him, eating and drinking with his beloved. 

Text:
Nani quere el hijo,     el hijo de la madre,
que mos viva muncho,    y se haga grande.
Duermete mi alma,     duermete, mi vista,
que tu padre venga     con muncha alegría.
Un día de los días     detr s de el me iba,
vide yo de enfrente     puerta que batía.
Y entrí m s ariento,      por ver que había:
vide ricas mesas,      con ricas comidas,
saleros de oro,       con sal de melahía,
y duermete, mi alma,     duermete, mi vista.
Y entrí m s ariento,     por ver que había:
vide ricas camas      con ricas cortinas,
y en la cama grande,      tu padre vivía,
y duermete, mi alma,     duermete, mi vista.

Translation:
The baby son wants to be lulled, the son of the mother,
may he live long for us, and may he grow big.
Sleep, my soul, sleep, light of my eyes,
may your father come with much joy.
One day among the days, I went after him,
I saw before me a door for knocking.
And I entered further inside, to see what there was:
I saw rich tables, with rich foods,
saltcellars of gold, with salt of purity,
and sleep, my soul, sleep, light of my eyes.
And I entered further inside, to see what there was:
I saw rich beds, with rich curtains,
and on the great bed, your father was living,
and sleep, my soul, sleep, light of my eyes.
