Desde hoy, la mi madre (24)

Alicia Bendayan (Tetuan)


This wedding song describes the bride's departure. She leaves her mother (v. 1-2) and her household tasks (v. 3-4), and goes to serve her new husband (v. 5-6), and to attend to his needs (v. 7- 10). May luck go with her under a good sign (v. 12, 14) (note: en buen siman, from the Hebrew: besiman tov).
