Hija Mia [English translation]

Daughter of mine, my dear, aman, aman!

Don't throw yourself to the sea

For the sea is unforgiving

See, it will carry you away.

Let it take me, let it bring me, aman, aman!

Seven fathoms deep1

Let me be swallowed by a black fish

To save me from love.

Daughter of mine, my dear, aman, aman!

Don't go to wash by

the cold fountain water

there's a knight there

giving his horse water

See, he'll carry you away.

Let him take me, let him bring me, aman, aman!

Among the blooming rosemary

Because my house is so small

And the sun never comes through;

Inside these cold walls

I've lost, mother, my color.2

If he takes me it's because I wanted it, aman, aman!

In the sea I will stay

I'll turn my body into a ship

With a fishing net the sail will go

My arms will row it on its way

Because in the darkness there is light.
