Original lyrics
Avre tu puerta cerrada Que en tu balcon luz no hay El amor a ti te vela (vola?) Partemos mi flor (also: partemos rosa) Partemos de aqui. Yo demandi de la (por la) tu hermozura Como te la dio el dio La hermozura tuya es pura La merezco solo yo.
Translated lyrics
Open your door. On your balcony, there is no light My love will fly up to you Come with me, my flower (rose) Come away with me I asked about (for) your beauty The beauty god gave you It is pure- Only I deserve it.
Notes
The clip here is by the talented and versatile singer Tanja Solnik http://www.jazzbank.com and then "musiques s pharades" "Avre tu puerta" sang the dashing Spanish troubadour in the 11th century and "Avre tu puerta" sang the Jerusalem Sephardic mother at the beginning of the 20th century [from the booklet to a CD by the Pavarim] There's a lovely recording of this by Lutz Elias - I forget the name of the album.
