Oh, que hermosa hija

Jerusalem National Sound Archives placement: YCD2980/4

A lyrical song in a pastoral scene: the young maiden with her basket gathering flowers in the garden, the young lad so handsome he resembles the moon.

Text:
Oh que hermosa hija
Que abasha a la guerta
Con un sestico a coger la flor

- Ven ande mi.
- Non puedo ir.
Me torno atras por verte a ti

Oh que hermoso, hermoso mancebo
Oh hermoso que pareces lunar

Translation:
Oh, what a lovely girl,
who goes down to the garden
with her little basket to gather flowers.

- Come to me.
-I cannot come.
I turn back, just to look at you.

Oh, what a handsome, handsome youth,
so fair you seem like the moon.
