Romance de Rosa fresca
 (Sung text for setting by J. Weir)
 Matches base text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Rosa fresca, rosa fresca — tan garrida y con amor, 
Cuando yo’s tuve en mis brasos — no vos supe servir, no, 
Y agora que vos serviría — no vos puedo yo haber, no; 
‘Vuestra fué la culpa, amigo, — vuestra fué, que mia no; 
enviásteme una carta — con un vuestro servidor, 
y en lugar de recabdar, — él dijera otra razón: 
qu’érades casado, amigo, — allá en tierras de Léon; 
que tenéis mujer hermosa — y hijos como una flor.’ 
‘Quien os lo dijo, señora, — no vos dijo verdad, non, 
que yo nunca entré en Castilla, — ni allá en tierras de Léon, 
sino cuando era pequeño — que no sabia d’amor.'

Composition:

    Set to music by Judith Weir (b. 1954), "Romance de Rosa fresca", 1988 [ soprano and piano ], from A Spanish Liederbooklet, no. 2, confirmed with a CD booklet
