Original lyrics
Abenamar, Abenamar moro de la moreria, el dia que tu naciste grandes sinyales abia. Estava la mar en kalma, la luna estava kresida. Moro ke en tal synyo nase, no deve dezir mentira. Yo no os la dire senyor aunke me koste la vida, ke de chiko i de muchacho mi padre me lo dezia, ke mentiras no dijese ke era grande villania. Pregunta, pues, el buen Rey, ke la verdad te diria. Ke palasyos son akeyos, altos son y relusian. La Alhambra era senyor palasyo de gran valia.
