Estavase la mora en su bel estar
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Ladino (Sephardic) 
La moxca
 Estavase la mora en su bel estar,
 venía la moxca por hazerle mal.
    La moxca a la mora,
    la mora a la moxca;
    ¡Mezquina la mora 
    que en los campos mora!

La abezba
 Estavase la moxca en su bel estar,
 venía la abezba por hazerle mal. 
    La abezba a la moxca, 
    la moxca a la mora;
    ¡Mezquina la mora 
    que en los campos mora!

La araña
 Estavase la abezba en su bel estar,
 venía la araña por hazerle mal.
    La araña a la abezba,
    la abezba a la moxca,
    la moxca a la mora;
    ¡Mezquina la mora 
    que en los campos mora!
