Commentary
Intabulation of a four-voiced villancico of unknown authorship. The work is strongly chordal in conception, and the copla is quite homophonic.

Song Text
Quando las desdichas mías
pienso que se an de acabar,
se tornan a començar.
Si ventura, de piadosa,
alguna dicha me ordena
desdicha lo desordena
que es en mi más poderosa.
Nunca se atraviesa cosa
en que me pueda dañar,
que no torne a començar
When I believe that my misfortunes
are about to end
they start anew.
If luck, out of pity
orders some happiness for me
unhappiness takes it away
and has more power over me.
Never every crosses my path
that could hurt me
that prevents the need to start anew
