Judeo-spanish Lyrics

La rosa enflorese /En el mes de mai
Mi neshama s'escurese,/Sufriendo del amor
Los bilbilicos cantan /Con sospiros de amor
Mi neshama y mi ventura /Estan en tu poder
Mas presto ven palomba /Mas presto ven con mi
Mas presto ven querida/ Corre y salvame

Another version:

La rosa enflorese/En el mes de mai
Mi alma s'escurese / Firiendose el lunar.
Los bilbilicos cantan/ En el arbol de la flor
Debaxo se asientan/ Los que sufren del amor.
Mas presto ven palomba /Mas presto ven con mi
Mas presto ven querida/ Corre y salvame

Another version:

La rosa inflorese / en el mez de mars
i mi alma securese / de estar con este mal
Los bilbilicos cantan / i suffren de amor
I la pasion los mala / non miran mi dulor

(First two lines of 3rd version from "Jewish Music" by

Translation

The rose blooms / In the month of May
My soul darkens / Suffering with love.
The nightingales sing / With sighs due to love
Mi soul and my fate / Are in your power
But come quickly, dove / But come quickly to me
But come quickly dear / Make haste and save me

The rose blooms / In the month of May
My soul darkens / As the moon is wounded [? obscure]
The nightingales sing / On the tree with the flower
Beneath it sit / Those who suffer from love
But come quickly, dove / But come quickly to me
But come quickly dear / Make haste and save me
