Jerusalem National Sound Archives placement: YCD 5216/32 This is a joyful, affectionate, and admiring wedding song filled with blessings and poetic compliments for the bride. Lyrics: Todo lo que vos quero aínda no sabes. Diceme, bulisa, si bien me queres? Con todo vos rogo que seas mazalosa y por todo ‘l mundo seas alabada. A, siñora novia, que sos tan hermosa, aunque no se llama otra tan hermosa Y en que cara posa, viva está la rosa, vivo está l’amor, el novio es para vos. Ella es alta como el pino, arelumbra el oro fino, el amor le lleva ‘l tino gran sabor le da. Ella es blanca colmo la nieve, alelumbra el diamante l amor le lleva en parte, Gran sabor le da. Translation: Everything that I love you, you still do not know.
Tell me, little bride, do you love me well?
With all my heart I beg you to be fortunate,
and throughout the world may you be praised.
Ah, lady bride, you who are so beautiful,
there is no other called as beautiful,
And on whose face it rests,
alive is the rose,
alive is the love,
the groom is for you. She is tall like the pine,
she gleams like fine gold,
love guides her aim,
great sweetness it gives her. She is white as the snow,
she shines like the diamond,
love carries her along,
great sweetness it gives her.
