Gritos daua la morenico so el olibar
que las ramas haze temblar
La niña cuerpo garrido
Morenica cuerpo garrido
lloraua su muerto amigo so el olibar
que las ramas haze temblar.
The moorish girl screamed from down in the olive grove
so much that it made the branches tremble.
The beautiful slender lass
the Moorish girl of such fine figure
Cried the death of her lover, in the olive grove
so that it made the branches tremble.
