lyrics

Porque Lloras Blanca Niña

¿Porque llorax blanca niña, porque llorax blanca flor? lloro por vos caballero
que vos vas y me dejas.
Me dejax niña y muchacha chica y de poca edad. tengo niños chiquiticos lloran y demandan pan.
Si demandan a su padre, que repuesta les vo a dar? metió la mano en el pecho, sien dovlones le fue a dar.
Esto para que m'abasta, para vino o para pan?
si esto no vos abasta, ya tienes d'onde tomar:
Venderex viñas y campos, media patre de la sivdad. venderes viñas y campos de la patre de la mar.
Vos asperares a los siete, si no, a los ocho vos cazax

[English Translation]

Why do you cry, innocent girl?
Why do you cry, innocent flower?
I weep for you, sir
You've going away, and leaving me behind.
You leave me [behind as] a child and maiden
A girl and of young age

I have little children,
They weep and demand for bread

If they ask for their father,
What answer should I give them?
[He] put a hand in his breast [pocket]
[And] gave them one hundred doubloons

Is this enough for
Wine or for bread?
If this is not enough,
You have somewhere else to take more:
You'll sell vineyards and fields
Half of the city
You'll sell vineyards and fields
And half of the sea

You'll wait for us for seven [years/months]
If not, at eight you marry
