Ah, el novio no quere dinero
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Ladino (Sephardic)
Ah, el novio no quere dinero,
Quere a la novia de mazal bueno
Yo vengo a ver
que gozen e logren
y tengo mucho bien.
Ah, el novio no quere ducados,
Quere a la novia de mazal alto.
Yo vengo a ver
que gozen e logren
y tengo mucho bien.
Ah, el novio no quere manillas,
Quere a la novia cara de alegría
Yo vengo a ver
que gozen e logren
y [tengo]1 mucho bien.
