El novio manda

Variant of a song on the theme of a list of gifts that the prodigal, lavish groom, has bought for his bride, as well as his hopes from her. The first line of each strophe states the gift sent to the bride: wooden clogs, hairpins, sweets, a purse, a wardrobe. The second line states an attribute that rhymes with the gift: the bride will be righteous and honest, she will come with her relatives, she will be adorned with long bunches of golden threads on both sides of her face, she will not be old, she is coming from her bath. “Let it be in a blessed hour,” says the refrain.
