Let's keep in touch!

Welcome to The Ladino Song Project!

Before you embark on your journey of research and discovery, I would like to briefly explain the purpose of this database. I have been involved in performances, recordings and research of the Sephardic Songrepertory, of which Ladino Songs is the most important part, for over 20 years. I have accumulated a vastlibrary of manuscripts, rare songbooks, romanceros (a collection of romantic Sephardic ballads, poems andsongs) and sheet music which I wish to make more available. My goal is to offer all original Ladino Lyrics andmy own translations, absolutely free, in one place on the internet. As the number of songs increases we willundoubtedly move the project to its own site. Furthermore, for a modest fee, we will provide as much sheetmusic and recorded materials (mp3's) for these songs as we have or can find.

For now, just click on the alphabetized Titles (below) to go directly to that song's lyrics and translations. Feelfree to copy and paste into your own files.

Please feel free to send us your comments, suggestions, requests or additional songs we may not know of.Thank you for your interest and may you find what you are looking for!

A la puerta del riose sienta y lloratiene el marido viejola picarona

y a la puerta del rioestá una al agua

peinando sus cabelloscogiendo el ámbar

y a la noche y antenoche parió Meroma

veinticinco ratonesy una paloma.

y a la puerta del rioestá un barriletelleno de sardinitasescabeche.

y a la puerta del riocrecen cebollas

perejil y culantro para la olla

Tu marido y el míoson dos maridoscuando van por calleson dos perdidos

Y en la orilla del montevive mi suegra

por no cortar zapatono voy a verla

At the river gateshe sits and weepsshe’s got an old husbandthe spicy young girl

At the river’s mouththere's a young girl in the watercombing her hair

and perfuming it with amber

Last night and the night beforeMeroma gave birthto twenty-five miceand a dove

And at the river’s mouththere's a little barrelfull of sardinessoaked in brine

At the river’s mouthonions grow as well asparsley and cilantrofor the cooking pot

Your husband and mineare two of a kind

when they walk down the streetthey are like two lost souls

And at the foot of the mountainlives my mother-in-law,In order not to use up my shoesI’m not going to visit her

A La Una Yo Nací

A la una yo nací

A las dos m’engrandecí Alas tres tomi amante A las cuatro me cazí

Dime niña donde vienesQue te quero conocerY si no tienes amante



Yo te hare defender

Yendome para la guerra Dos besos al aire dí Uno fue para mi madreY el otro para ti

At one I was born At two I grew up At three I took a lover At four I married

Tell me young lass where do you come from For I wish to know you And if you have no lover I will defend you

Going off to war I blew two kisses into the airOne was for my mother

And the other for you

Adío Querida

Tu madre cuando te parioY te quito al mundo

Corazon ella no te dio Para amar segundo

Adío, adío querida No quero la vida Me l’amargsates tu

Hermosa sos en cantidad Honestedad no tiene Milliones si me vas a dar Mi gente no te queren

Va, buxcate otro amor Aharva otras puertas Aspera otro ardorQue para mi sos muerta

Your mother when she gave you birth And brought you into the worldShe did not give you a heartTo love another

Farewell, farewell my loveI do not want life

You have embittered it for me

You are so beautifulBut you are dishonest

Were you to give me millionsMy family would still not love you

Go look for another loveKnock on other doors Wait for another flame As for me, you are dead

Ah El Novio No Quere Dinero

Ah el novio no quere dinero!Quere a la novia de mazal bueno.Yo vengo a ver!Que gozen y logren y tengan muncho bien!

Ah, el novio no quere ducados!Quere a la novia de mazal alto.

Yo vengo a ver! ... Ah, el novio no quere manillas!Quere a la novia cara de alegría.Yo vengo a ver! ...

Ah, the bridegroom wants no moneyHe wants his bride of good fortune



I come to seeMay they be joyous and prosper

Ah, the bridegroom wants no ducatsHe wants his bride of great fortuneI come to see ...

Ah, the bridegroom wants no bracelets.He wants his bride and her joyful faceI have come to see ...

Al Monte De Sinai

Al monte de Sinai Subió el señor Mosé,Con señor Josuá en compañía,

Porque siempre bien le fué.

Los malachim se espantaron De ver a un hombre amado;Y Dios, con su propia mano

La Ley Santa le escribió

Y Dios, con su propia mano La Ley Santa le escribióY en tablas de diamante

A Mosé se la entregó

Ay, mi Dios, te haremos Santa, Santa, fraguaremos La menorah encenderemosCon la ayuda de los cielos

Y en tablas de diamante A Mosé se la entregóY al bajar del monte

Las tablas se le quebró

Y al bajar del monte, Las tablas se le quebró Los chachitos que quedaron Mosé los apañó

Los cachitos que quedaron Mosé los apañóY Mosé, con alegría

A los chiquitos enseño

Up to Mount SinaiMoses climbed up

Accompanied by JoshuaFor he had always been good to him

The angels were frightenedTo see such a beloved man

And God, with His own hand Writing for him the Holy Law

And God, with His own hand. Wrote for him the Holy Law On tablets of diamonds

And brought them to Moses

Yes, my God we shall make it for YouHoly, holy, we shall build it

We will light the menorah With help from the heavens

On tablets like diamondsHe brought them to Moses

And as he came down from the MountThe tablets broke

As he came down from the MountThe tablets were brokenThe little pieces that remained

Were repaired by Moses

The little pieces that remained Were repaired by Moses



And he joyfullyShowed them to the children

Al Ruido de Una Fuente

Al ruido de una fuenteUna zagala vi

Al ruido de la aguaUna voz yo senti

Senti una voz que dizía

Ay de mi, sola en mi Cuando la vide solicaLe declarí mi amor

Y en su cara bonicaTres besos le díEntonces me dixo la niñaOtros tres se hazen seix

By the resounding fountainI saw a young shepherdessBy the resounding waterI heard a voiceI heard a voice saying

Woe is me, alone am I

When I saw her aloneI declared my love to her

And on her pretty faceI gave her three kissesThen the girl said to me

Another three will make six

Alegrias Y Duelos De La Novia

Cuando yo en casa de mi padre Peinaba rubios cabellosY ahora en casa de mi novioYa no me sirven ellos

Es mi honra su gran riquezaQue sus buenos me dio

Y ay que buena que es para la esperanzaQuien espera llenar panzaY ay que buena que es la mañana

Ay mejor es el Dio que la manda

Demandar quero yo a mi padre Por un tenedor d'oro de Sevilla Para peinar los mis cabellosQue son como la seda fina

When in my father's house

I combed my blonde hairNow in my husband’s houseThey are of no use

He has honored me with great wealth

Which his family has given to me

And how good it is for hopeShe who expects to fill her womb

And oh how good is the morning Ay, even better the God which brings it

I want to ask my fatherFor a golden comb made in SevilleTo comb my hair

Which are like fine silk

Allí En El Midbar

Allí en el midbar vide arrelumbrar



Las tablas de la Ley vide abaxarY mirad que siñor es Moxe RabbenuQue subio y abaxo a los altos cielos

Los malachim del cielo lo queren quemar Nacido de mujer, que buxca en santedad?

Los malachim del cielo tienen por el celo Basar v’adam, que buxca en el cielo?

There in the desert I saw burningI saw the tablets of the Law brought down

And look, this man is our teacher Moses Who went up and came down from the Heavens

The angels of Heaven want to burn himBorn of woman, what does he look for in sanctity?

The angels of Heaven are envious of himHe is but a man, what does he search for in Heaven?

Alta, Alta Va La Luna

Alta, alta va la luna La hora de amanecer. Hixa hermoza sin ventura

Nunca llegue a nacer.

Yo era de quinze años Empecí a hazer l'amorCon un mancevo berbante,Que a la fin él me dexó.Yo era de vanda alta

No savía de servir. Por cayer con ti berbante,Vene agora a sofrir.

High, high, the moon rises When the dawn arrivesBeautiful, luckless daughter

Never allowed to blossom

I was fifteen years old When I began to make love With a young ne’er-do-well Who eventually left me

I was of noble birth And didn't know how to serveBut when I fell for youThen suffering came

Alta, Alta Va La Luna (2ndVersion)

Alta, alta va la lunaCuando empeza amanecer. Hija hermoza sin ventura Nunca llegue a nacer

Los paxaricos de los cielosCantan debajo del arbol de flor.

Allí se asentan Los que sufren del amor

Mis redondas montañas altas Llevanme onde el mi amor En sus brazos caeré Después moriré

Los mis ojos se incheron De mirar tanto a la marVapores vayan y vienen

Para mi letras no hay

Mama mía, la mi mamaUn consejo da me tuUn consejo da me mama



Que sin ventura nací

Ah hija mía, mi queridaQue consejo que te de

Sin ventura si nascitesQue no iguaras a nacer

High, high, the moon rises When the dawn arrivesBeautiful, luckless daughter

Never allowed to blossom

The birds in the skySing beneath the flowering treesThere they sitThose who suffer from love

My round and high mountainsBring me to my belovedInto his arms I will fall

And then I’ll die

My eyes are swollenFrom looking so long at the seaShips are come and goFor me there are no letters

Mother, my motherGive me adviceGive me your advice motherFor I was born without luck

Oh, my daughter, my dear

What advice can I give youIf you were born unluckyThen you shouldn’t have been born

Aman Doctor

Aman doctor, dopa me curía Porque quero yo vivír De los lados de la merequía Muy presto me voy murir

Es lado que duele El corazon me bateY si salgo loca

No hay quien me hace

Amor hizístes Muy lindo mancebo

Y me derites Por muelcevo

Amor me repentí

Que amor con ti

Aman, doctor, medicine will cure meBecause I wish to liveFrom melancholy and worryI will soon die

My side is in painMy heart beats hard

And should I become crazyThere will be no one to take care of me

You made love

You beautiful young man

And you dissolve meLike a mill grinder

Oh love, I regret

Making love to you



Andemos Al Café

Yo non havlo con ninguno Solo con mi primo amor Ay lele le, ay lele lo

Andemos al caféYo seré tu cavalier

Tu sos una roza, tu sos una florCresida en la frescura

Onde el sol no dio Ay lele ...

I’ll be your cavalier Ay lala

You are a rose, you are a flower Which blossomed in a cool bower

Where the sun refused to shine Ay lala

Arvoles Lloran Por Lluvia

Arvoles lloran por lluviay montañas por aire

Ansí lloran mis ojos por ti querido amante Lloro y digo qué va a ser de mí En tierras ajenas me vo murir

Arvolicas de Almendra

Arvolicas de almendra que yo plantí

Por los tus ojos verdolisQue yo por tiQue yo por ti me muero yo

La puerta de mi querida ya se avrióde lagrimas ya se hinchóComo la primavera qu'ansi salióla bella niña que amo yoQue yo por ti ...

Avre Este Abajour

Avre este abajour bijou Avre la tu ventana Por ver tu cara morenaal Dió daré mi alma

Por la tu puerta yo pasíY la topí cerrada

La llavedura yo bezí Como bezar tu cara

No quiero más que me hablesni por mi puerta passesmás antes me querías bienagora te yelates

Si tú de mí t'olvidarásTu hermozura piedrarás

Ningun niño t'endeñaras En los mis brasos mueraras

Open your shade my jewelOpen your windowTo see your dark faceTo God I would give my soul

I passed by your door And found it closedI kissed the lock

As I would kiss your face

I want nothing more than that you



might talk to me and pass by my door You used to love me wellNow you have turned cold

Should you forget me You will lose your beauty No man will condescend to be with you

And in my arms you’ll die

Avre Tu Puerta Cerrada

Avre tu puerta cerradaQu'en tu balcón luz no hay

El amor a ti vela Partemos mi flor, partemos de aquí

Yo demandí por la tu hermozuracomo te la dio el Dió

La hermozura tuya es purala meresco sólo yo

Open your closed doorFor on your balcony, there is no lightLove will fly to youLet's go, my flowerLet's go away from here

I asked for your beautyHow did God give it to you.

Your beauty is pureOnly I deserve it.

Como La Rosa En La Guerta

Como la rosa en la güertaY las flores sin avrir

Ansí es una donzella A las horas del murir

Tristes horas en el díaQue hazina ya cayóComo la reina en su lechoYa cayó y se desmayó

Lágrimas de una madre El Dío ya las va sintir pensa que agora pacitesaspera buen avenir

Su gracia y su miradaeran mi consolaciónal mi lado se asentabasu mano en mi corazón

Avrid puertas y ventanasa mi hija acudirquen la vía la lloravade ver este angel murir

Like the rose in the garden And flowers not yet in bloomThere lies a young maiden

At the hour of death

That day, sad were the hour As she fell illLike the queen on her bedShe lost her strength and fainted

The tears of a motherGod will soon feel themThough you now feel pain

A better future awaits you

Her grace and her look Were my consolation. At my side she would sitHer hand on my heart.

Open the doors and windowsCome to my daughterThose who saw her cryingThose who saw this angel die.

Avraham avinu

Avram avinu, padre querido

Padre bendicho, luz de Israel

La mujer de Terah quedo preñada De día en día el la preguntava De que teneix la cara tan demudada Ella ya savía el bien que tenía

Saludemos al compadreY tambien al moël Que por su zekhut

Mos venga el goël Y ri’hma a todo Israel

When King Nimrod Went out into the fieldsHe looked at the heavens

And at all the starsHe saw a holy light

Above the Jewish quarter A sign that Abraham our father Was about to be born

Why her face was so changedShe already knew the good thing she had within

Let us greet the godfather

And also the moelBecause of his virtueMay the Messiah comeTo redeem all Israel

De Las Altas Mares

De las altas maresTraen una cativa

Cubierta en el oroY en la perla fina

En la su frenteUna piedra zafira

Más arrelumbra de nocheQue el sol de a medio día



El Rey era mancevoY se enamoraría

La Reina era muchachaY se encelaría

From the high seas,They bring a captiveCovered with gold

And fine pearls

On her forehead A sapphire stone

Which gleams brighter in the nightThan the sun at midday

The king was young and handsome And was to fall in love.The queen was a maid

And would be jealous.

El día vo llorando

La noche sin durmir Demandando y preguntando Fin a cuando vo sufrir

Alta va la lunaCuando empesa a amanecer

Hija hermosa sin ventura



Nunca allegue a nacer

Que buxcas túmancevico Estas horas por aquí Vengo a ver a mi amadaQue mañana vo a partir

Con quéardor te amo La cual es mi dolor Pedrer tus esperansas Murir será mijor

Cuando el viento de la sera Murmura en tu ventana Recórdate túmi amada Los puntos de muestro amor

I cry throughout the day At night I cannot sleep Asking again and again When will my suffering cease

High goes the moon When it begins to riseBeautiful girl without happinessNever asking to be born

What do you seek young man

At this hour in these partsI come to see my loveFor tomorrow I must leave

I love you with such ardor And such is my painThat better it is to dieThan to lose all hope

When the evening windMurmurs at your window Remember my belovedThe sweet moments of our love

El Galanteo

Prima vez que yo pasí Te vide en el balcón

La mirada que me miras Me quema el corazón

Si yo me asento en el balcón No lo hago por mirar Pensando en mi destinoYo me meto a llorar

Cual seria mi destino Lo queria ahora entender Dimelo amor y si túqueres

Te lo hare defender De amor d’un mancevo No me puedes defender Se infincóen el mi corazónQue me vo a depedrer

Ma porquémi queridaTúme hablas siempre ansí Una vez que ya lo sabesQue yo siempre en ti pensí

No topídingún provecho Si yo pensaréen ti Munchas vezes ya lo hize Ma siempre me arrepentí

Una tala respuesta No esperaba yo sentir Me plazía mas la muerteQue tu amor consenter

The first time I passed by



I saw you on the balcony The glance you cast my way Burned in my heart

If I sit on the balcony I don’t do it to look at passersby Thinking of my fateI begin to cry

What will be my destiny I want to understand it now Tell it to me love, and if you wish

I’ll be there to protect you

You cannot protect meFrom the one I loveHe has entered my heart

And I am losing myself

But tell me my love Why you always speak to me like this You must know That I think of you always

Well there’s absolutely no useIn thinking of youI’ve done it in the pastBut always regretted doing so

Such an answerI did not expectI would rather dieThan consent to loving you

For so many ladiesI just don’t have enough

Reluctantly he stood up With rose waterThey washed him

And with towels from Holland they dried him

On a scale of gold they weighed himOne hundred-twenty pounds and a quarter

At midnight the charge exploded to impregnate 120 womenMinus the cook which he had forgotten

Thank you Brother Peter, but for me you were in short supply No I wasn’t, I’m bringing it to you now Between the stoves he pushed against her and from his strength

And alalan and alalan…

120 cradles all in a corridorLess the cook’sFor they hung her up on the roof The little brother’s rope, what sweet rope

Second to cook it is the Shamas’ wifeThe meat inside with aromatic spicesThey call this stuffed food

Third to cook it is my cousin Ester di ChioteThe meat inside with spiced riceThey call this an eggplant meal

The tablecloth sparkles on the banquet tablesMaking little pastels that shine on the plates

Waiting to be served with the raw eggsThis joy brings good fortuneBlessed is He who brought us to see this day

Madre De La Gracia

Madre de la gracia Reina de la bivéz Ónde que te tope

Por verte otra vez?

Me vo morir, no vo bivir Sin aquella contentéz Ónde que te tope

Por verte otra vez?

La roza se dexa ver

Mirar, tocar y goler Ah, y tu cruela No te dexas ni ver

Me vo morir…

Mother of graceQueen of life



Where can I find youTo see you again?

I am going to dieI will not live

Where can I find youTo see you again?

The rose lets itself be admiredLooked at, touched, smelledBut you cruel oneDo not even let yourself be seen

I am going to die…

Mi Suegra La Negra

Mi suegra, la negracon mí se daquileyaYo no puedo más vivir con ella

Ella es muy fuerte, como la muerte Más presto me veré sin ella

Un día, asentada con mi maridoella detrás como un enemigo

Me dió un pillisko, me dió un modrisco

Más presto me veré sin ella

En los días de la dulzuraella ensembra la amargura

El güerco venga, por la solturaque yo ya no puedo vivir con ellacon mi suegra, la negra

My mother-in-law, the dark oneTaunts meI cannot live with her anymoreShe is very strong, like deathHow quickly I can see myself without her

One day, sitting with my husband,She was behind me like an enemy,She gave me a pinch, she gave me a big biteHow quickly I can see myself without her

On the sweetest of daysShe sows bitternessMay the devil come and take her away For I can no longer live with her

With my mother-in-law, the dark one

Montañas Altas

Montañas altas y marinadas Llevame donde el mi amor

High-reaching mountains of ocean huesTake me to my loveTake me to my dear one

Love me as I love you

I shall die without you And time relentlessly moves onSee how I shall die for you

I pass by your street Yet I cannot see your tearsOr know of your longing



Morena me llaman

Morena me llaman Blanca yo nací De pasear galana Mi color perdí

Vestido de verdeY de altelí Qu’ansi dize la novia

Con el tchelibi Escalerica de oroY de marfíl

Para que suva la novia A dar Kiddushin

Dizime galana Si queres venir Los velos tengo fuertes No puedo yo venir

Morena me llaman El hijo del rey Si otra vez me llaman Me voy yo con el

They call me the dark oneThough I was born fair,Parading about my beauty I lost my color

Clothed in green And brilliant redSo says the bride

Una Tarde de Verano

Una tarde de verano pase por la moreríaVi una mora lavando al pie de una fuente fría

Yo le dixe mora bella yo le dixe mora linda Deja bever mis cavallos de estas aguas cristalinas

No soy mora cavallero, que soy cristiana nacídaQue me cautivaron moros dias de Pascua florida

Si quieres venirte a Espana, en mis cavallos vendríasY la ropa el cavallero, con quien yo la dejaría?

La que es de seda y lana en mis maletas vendríaY la que de nada sirve por el río pasaría

Y la honra el cavallero, con quien yo la dejaría? Te juro por la mi madre, por la mi madre querida

Que no te toque la honra hasta los montes de oliva Al lleguar a aquellos montes la niña llora y suspira

Al lleguar a aquellos montes la niña llora y suspira Porque llorax niña guapa? Porque llorax niña linda?

Lloro porque en estos campos mi padre a cazar veníaCon mi hermanito Alejandro y yo en su companía

Avrijme madre la puerta, balcones y galeríasQue en vez de traerte espoza te traigo una hermana mía

Avrijme madre la puerta, balcones y galeríasQue aqui te traigo la prenda por quien llorax noche y día

One summer afternoon I passed by the Moorish quarterI saw a Moorish woman washing by a cold fountain

I said to her, Oh lovely Moorish one, I said to her beautiful MoorLet my horses drink from these crystal waters

I am no Moor, knight, as I was born ChristianMoors captured me at Easter time when flowers were in bloom

If you wish to come to Spain, on these horses you’ll come And these clothes, Sir the Knight, with whom shall I leave them?

Those made of silk and wool will be packed inb my suitcases And the useless ones, in the river they’ll go

And with whom shall I leave my honor Sir Knight?I swear on my mother, on my mother

That I will not touch your honor until the mount of olivesUpon reaching those mountains the girl cries and sighs



Upon reaching those mountains the girl cries and sighs Why are you crying my pretty? Why are you crying my beauty?

I cry because in these very fields my father was hunting With my little brother Alejandro and me

Open the doors, balconies and galleries mother dearInstead of bringing back a wife I bring you a sister of mine

Open the doors, balconies and galleries mother dearFor here I bring you the beloved for whom you weep night and day

Vamos Para La Orilla

Vamos para la orilla La orilla de la mar Alli te contare mis malesQue te metas a llorar

Yo al día no bevíaUn vazico de raqui

Agora carafe enteraQue me topí triaquí

Let’s go to the shoreTo the edge of the seaThere I will tell you my sorrows

And you will start to cry

On that day I wasn’t drinkingEven a small glass of arak Now I drink a whole carafe

And I find myself drunk
