Judeo-spanish Lyrics

Desde hoy, la mi madre
la del cuerpo lucido
tomeris vos las llaves
las del pan y del vino.
Que yo irme queria
a servir buen marido
a ponerle la mesa
la del pan y del vino.
Para hacer la cama
y para echarle conmigo
y atana atanataile
que sea en buen simane.
Desde hoy, la mi madre
la del cuerpo lozano,
Tomeris vos las llaves
las del pan y del claro.
Que yo irme queria
a servir buen velado
a ponerle la mesa
la del pan y del claro
para harcerle la cama
y para encharle a mi lado
y atana atanaora
que sea en buena hora.
Y atana atanataile
que sea en buen simane.

From today on, my mother,
you of the handsome body,
you shall take the keys,
those of the bread and the wine.
For I wish to go
and serve a good husband,
to lay the table for him,
the table with bread and wine.
To make the bed
and lie with him
and "atanai atanaile",
may it be auspicious.
