Iban al pinar

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER

Serranas de Cuenca
iban al pinar, 
unas por piñones, 
otras por bailar. 

Bailando y partiendo 
las serranas bellas,
un piñón con otro, 
[si ya no es con perlas]¹
de amor las saetas 
huelgan de trocar: 
unas por piñones, 
otras por bailar, 

Entre rama y rama 
cuando el ciego dios 
pide al Sol los ojos 
por verlas mejor, 
los ojos del Sol 
las veréis pisar, 
unas por piñones, 
otras por bailar.

Dans la pinède

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

Des filles de Cuenca,
allaient dans la pinède,
les unes pour des pignons,
les autres pour danser.
 
Elles dansaient en frappant,
ces belles de la Sierra,
une noix contre l’autre ;
et [à défaut de perles]
ces flèches d’amour,
elles jouaient à les échanger,
les unes pour des pignons,
les autres pour danser.
 
À travers les rameaux,
lorsque le dieu aveugle
veut les yeux du Soleil
pour mieux les regarder,
ces beaux yeux du Soleil,
tu les verras lui prendre,
les unes pour des pignons,
les autres pour danser.
