Avre tu puerta cerrada

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Ladino (Sephardic)

Our translations: ENG

Avre tu puerta cerrada,
qu'en tu balcòn luz no hay.
El amor a ti te vela
Partemos Rosa
Partemos de aquí.
      
Yo demandí por la tu hermozura,
como te la dio el Dió.
La hermozura tuya es pura
La meresco sólo yo.

Open your locked door

Language: English after the Spanish (Español)

Open your locked door,
for on your balcony there is no light.
May love protect you
Let's go, Rosa
Let's go away from here.

I prayed for your beauty
given to you by God.
Your beauty is pure
Only I deserve it.
