Original lyrics
El rey por muncha madruga Onde la reina se iba A la reina topo4 en cavellos Peina4dose sus destrensados. con espejo do oro en sus manos Mira4dose su bel galano El rey por burlar con ella Le apreto4el lado. Esta4te Angelino el mi primer enamorado Dos hijos tengan tuyos Y dos del rey se hacen quatro. Escapando estas palavras La su cara aboltaria4 Pardon sinor rey Un sueno soltaria. Sueno vos sonarix Yo vo lo soltari4a Con un vestido blanco Y un collar colorado.
Translated lyrics
The king, who rises early in the morning Went to see his queen. He found her with loosened hair Combing her tresses. With golden mirror in her hand Looking at her beautiful body the king in jest Touched her on her side. Be still, Angelino My first lover I have two sons by you and two by the king makes four Having uttered these words She turned her face "Pardon me, my king I must have been relating a dream." "You may have been dreaming but I will explain it to you with a white Gown And a red necklace."
Notes
Songs dealing with the issuse of adultery are the exception in Ladino music. In this story, the queen's unconscious admission of an extra- marital relationship results in her quite literally losing her head the allusion to the 'red necklace).(the white dress was the manner in which those condemned to Death were clothed in.) If memory serves, Alhambra recorded this song
