Sefardic Al Andaluz Project - La Galana y El Mar
A Ladino/Medieval Spanish song that was sung by the Sefardic bride before her marriage to the groom. This is a song that Rambam himself probably listened to and enjoyed.
The English Lyrics:
English translation of lyrics:
Now the graceful maiden gets out of the sea
She comes out of the sea
The bride wears a yellow dress
She goes to her husband.
The bride wears a red dress
She goes to her groom.
She comes out of the sea ...
Between a year and a month.
Our bride, how white she is
Between a month and a day,
Our bride, she will bear a child
She comes out of the sea ...
A little pigeon from a good family
How is your father?
How are your brothers?
Walking between the ducats.
She comes out of the sea ..
Now the graceful maiden gets out of the sea
With a dress
In white and pink.
She comes out of the sea ...
Between the sea and the river
There grows a quince tree.
She comes out of the sea ...
Between the sea and the sand
There grows a cinnamon tree.
She comes out of the sea
