Cancionero Sefardí de Turquía (SMR Bresler Collection)
Performer
Yo le mandi a mi novio
Cuatro muchachicas
De día en día
Ya viene la tasa
Un dicho me tienes dicho
Las de la novia
Y mires mi hija
Los caminos de Serkiği
Una tadre de enverano
Esto quien lo culpa
Oh, qué hermosa hija
Al kahl me entrí
Si queres saber
Más ariba y más ariba
Así bivas el soldado
De las altas mares
Q'amanezca, q'amanezca

Performer
Noches, noches, buenas noches
Avrix mi galanica
Ven querida
Pregoneros van y vienen
A la una nací yo
Paxarico tú te llamas
Ya salió de la mar la galana
Adío querida
Mi suegra la negra
Cuatro años d'amor
Aquel conde
Una tarde fresquita de mayo
Tres hijas tiene'l buen rey
Don Amadí
Lavava y suspirava
Morena me llaman
De las altas mares
