Pase la novia andandando galan tras de ella todo loque la dice si era doncella y la onze de la gracia y a como la vendere? No la vendo por onza ni por quarteron se lo entrego a mi amado de mi corazon y la onze de la gracia y a como la vendere?
The bride passed by walking,
a gallant man behind her;
everything he asked her
was if she were a maiden,
and the ounce of grace
and for how much will I sell it? I do not sell it for an ounce,
nor for a quarter-weight;
I give it to my beloved,
to the one of my heart,
and the ounce of grace
and for how much will I sell it?
