Salgas, madre, afuera al curtijo, veréis venir novia del vuestro hijo, que sobre la mar yo la vide caminar, ay, madre, con pino d'oro yo la vid'alelumbrar. Salgas, madre, afuera a la scalera, verés venir vuestra nuera primera, que alelumbró más de las estrellas, ay, madre, con pino d'oro yo la vid' arelumbrar. Oy, que caminado, al lado, al lado, así me la crió el Dio d'en Alto, vení, mi novia, hablaremos, hablaremos, bodas haremos. Oy, que alelumbror de novia galana, vos m'alelumbreis, la strella Diana, vení, mi novia, hablaremos, hablaremos, bodas haremos. Vos vení, mi dama, por la mañana, beveres cavé con aranjana, vení, mi novia, hablaremos, hablaremos, bodas haremos. Vos vení, mi dama, por entre el día, beveres cavé con muncha alegría, vení, mi novia, hablaremos, hablaremos, bodas haremos.
Go out, mother, outside to the courtyard, you will see your son's bride coming, whom I saw walk across the sea, oh, mother, with a golden pine I saw her shine. Go out, mother, outside to the stairway, you will see your first daughter-in-law coming, who shone more than the stars, oh, mother, with a golden pine I saw her shine. Oh, walking, side by side, that's how the God above raised me, come, my bride, we'll talk, we'll talk, we'll have a wedding. Oh, how the beautiful bride shines, you light me up, you are the star Diana, come, my bride, we'll talk, we'll talk, we'll have a wedding. Come, my lady, in the morning, Drink coffee and orange juice, Come, my bride, we'll talk, we'll talk, we'll have weddings. Come, my lady, during the day, Drink coffee with great joy, Come, my bride, we'll talk, we'll talk, we'll have weddings.
