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!
