here is a page devoted to this song:
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/2679/copla02.htm
stanzas 4-6 are from CD's by Lena Rothstein and Dominique Thibaudat.
The text is from the period of Alfons X (1245-1289) influenced by a school in Toledo [from the booklet to a CD by Dominique Thibaudat].
The text exists already in the period of Alphonse X (1245-1280) in Toledo, and part of the melody is from the
"Cantigas de Nuestra Senora) although subject to several
more modern changes.
It is the metric where the medieval influence is still recognized.

In some Sephardic communities the piyyut "Odekka Ki Anitani"
is sung in the tune of this Sephardic song.
This ballad is possibly based on four different romances
well-known in the XIVth century, but certainly older.
Conde Irlos leaves his wife and children and wants to go
into the war. He states that his wife may sell the vineyard
if necessary and that she may remarry if he will not be back
after seven years. His mother wishes him bad luck since
he will not stay home.
The lyrics is from the booklet of a CD by Thibaudat |
