Alternate version of the previous villancico, but with some modest ornamentation added. The rubric indicates: “This villancico that follows is the same: and of the manner which is sounding, the singer has to sing unadorned and the vihuela has to go fast.”

Song Text
Sospiró una señora que yo vi
¡Oxallá fuesse por mí!
Sospiró una señora
y he me dado atender
Que sospira por tener
gran pesar de quien llora.
Ya yo sé que burladora, aunque assí,
¡Oxallá fuesse por mí!
Sighed a lady that I saw.
I wish it were for me.
Sighed a lady
And it gave me understanding.
That she sighs for having
the great weight for who she cries
I now know she’s a mocker
And even though it is so.
I wish it were for me.
