A la una yo nací
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Ladino (Sephardic)
A la una yo nací
A las dos m'engrandecí
A las tres tomí amante
A las quatro me cazí.
Me cazí con un amor,
alma y vida y coracón.
Dime niña donde vienes?
Que te quiero conocer.
Si tú no tienes amante,
yo dejara de aprender,
alma y vida y coracón.
Yendo me para la Guerra,
dos bezos al aire di,
el uno es para mi madre,
y el otro para tí.

I was born at one
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
I was born at one
At two I grew up
At three I took a lover
At four I was wed.
I got married with love,
my soul, life, and heart.
Tell me, young lass, where are you from?
I long to get to know you.
If you do not have a lover,
I will defend you,
my soul, life and heart.
I'm going off to the war,
I've thrown kisses into the air,
one is for my mother,
the other is for you.
