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. You will see your first daughter-in-law coming, 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.
From Kanta Gayiko, Judeo-Spanish songs from Bulgaria, 2025 This song was traditionally sung to the groom's mother, when she welcomes her new daughter-in-law to at the reception welcoming the bride by her husband's family.
