Poor little girl
(Ladino origninal)

Poor little girl
Why are you suffering for love?
Why do you suffer in chains,
In this closed prison?

Come, I'll tell you my story
Why I come to suffer
Because of a handsome young man, 
That for him I will die

Sitting by my window
Working the (embroidery) frame 
News was brought to me
That my love was engaged

At the stroke of midnight 
I deceived his wife
Stabbed her with a knife
She fell and died right away!


Many thanx to TC for providing the translation!
