Ladino Lyrics

Una Noche Al Lunar

Una noche al lunar,
Yo salm a caminar,
un mancevo m'encontrs,
al cafi ya me llevs,
dos bezicos il me dis.
Una noche al lunar,
Yo salm a caminar...

Translation

On a moonlit night/ I went out to take a walk
a young man met me/ took me to a cafi,
and gave me two kisses.
on a moonlit light, I went out just to take a walk...

This is a lovely song, very understated - should be sung with a knowing smile. The tradition of such lyrics relates to some of De Falla's 'siete canciones', especially the first one, which, through vast understatement, talks of an innocent cloth at a windowsill- but a cloth that alas, has a flaw in it (hence 'lost it's virginity').
