Commentary
A setting of a villancico text that seems to have been in currency for quite some time, and enjoyed some level ov popularity. The oldest known setting is an anonymous four-part version in the Cancionero de Palacio (no 96 in Anglés; 77 in Barbieri). Valderrabano (va047) also set the opening estribillo text in three voices for vihuela. There is some family resemblance between the melodies of the three versions, but the settings do not appear to be related.

Song Text
Arde, corazon, arde,
que no os puedo yo valer,
quebrántase mi corazón,
con penas y dolores.
Quebrántase las peñas
con picos y açadones.
Burn, my heart, burn,
for I cannot be worthy of you.
My heart is broken
with pain and sorrow.
[As] rock being broken
by picks and mattocks.
