Re: La Rosa Enfloresa

[Lloica Czackis <lloicale...>]

Allen,

The lyrics I know are:

La rosa enflorece
en el mes de Mai
mi alma se escurece
sufriendo del amor.

Los bilbilicos cantan
en los arbos de la flor
debajo se asentan
los que sufren del amor.

Mas presto ven, palomba,
mas presto ven a mi,
mas presto tu, mi alma,
que yo me vo morir.


And I'll attempt a translation:

The rose blooms
in the month of May,
my soul is shadowed
by suffering of love.

The little birds sing
on the blooming trees,
underneath them seat
those who suffer of love.

But come soon, beloved,
come soon to me,
soon, my soul,
as I am going to die.


So sad, so beautiful...

Lloica
