Cuando yo en cá de mi padre (26)

Judeo-Spanish Moroccan Songs for the Life Cycle
Judeo-Spanish Moroccan Songs for the Life Cycle
Cuando yo en cá de mi padre (26)

Rahma Lucasi, Fortuna Mesas, Elvira Alfasi (Larache)


The bride is longing for the days when she lived happily in her father's house (v. 1-2). She complains about her life in her husband's house (v. 3-4) where she can only contemplate his wealth (v. 5-6), since he himself is short and lame (v. 11). Nevertheless may God be praised for His blessing (v. 8, 12).
