La Gloria
69. Asiéntate te hablaré (La Gloria)
Eastern Mediterranean Judeo-Spanish Songs from the EMI Archive Trust (1907-1912)
Asiéntate te hablaré
A rare modern song with a refrain in Greek. The third stanza is usually included in Cantiga de Hanum Dudún, a widespread wedding song with a different melody (see above notes to nos. 6 and 38). Besides this recording, there is only one other version in a commercial recording from Bulgaria based on the collection of Nikolay Kaufman (Volitzer 1998, entitled Giorgina). This Bulgarian version includes only two stanzas of which the second corresponds to the third one in our recording.
Aséntati te hablaré
por una de merita
Que sos la más que amo yo,
tu sos la más querida.
Ğiorğina, Ğiorğiay ke
me trelanes pola ke.
Arrogale a la mamá
que venga por mi casa,
que la [...?] que tengo yo
es la quirá de casa.
Ğiorğina, Ğiorğiay...
El anillo que te embeí,
el diamante es fino.
El ğaverği que me lo hizo
es primo ‘rmano mio.
Ğiorğina, Ğiorğiay...
