Dezilde A Mi Amor [English translation]

Tell my beloved that if he truly wants me,

he must bring a mule so he may take me with him,

child, tell him I can't go there on foot

because the rain is heavy and I will get soaked.

Tell my beloved that if he truly loves me,

he must bring a mule so he may take me with him,

mother, tell him I can't go there on foot

because the rain is heavy and I will get soaked.

Tell my beloved that if he truly wants me,

he must bring a mule so he may take me with him,

beloved, I can't go there on foot

bare like the snow.

Oh beautiful light, where is your heart?

oh beautiful light, where is your heart?

why must I repeat what I have already done,

return to me the lover of my nights,

oh oh night, why is it that

the one I love didn't come?

oh oh night, why is it that

the one I love didn't come?

the one I love didn't come.

Tell my beloved that if he truly wants me,

he must come soon and he must take me with him,

through both sands and quicksand,

through the streets my beloved must look for me.

Tell my beloved that if he truly wants me,

he must come soon so that I might believe him,

oh, my knight, with your beautiful figure,

do not keep it hidden away;

oh my knight, I put my faith in you,

tell my mother that I have not abandoned her.

Tell my very being that I have loved you so much

that it didn't come to me when I waited for it,

as the rain returned to the flowers

and it's green fruits matures,

none picked them and they were lost,

love moves on, mother; and it has moved on.

Oh beautiful light, where is your heart?

oh beautiful light, where is your heart?

why must I repeat what I have already done,

return to me the lover of my nights,

oh oh night, why is it that

the one I love didn't come?

oh oh night, why is it that

the one I love didn't come?

the one I love didn't come. [x2]

Leave child and tell the one I wait for

that the door is now closed

and the golden and silver keys;

are kept by whoever keeps them,

for going out on foot

is how love [like this] becomes drenched.
