One of the most frequently found villancicos in sixteenth century Spanish sources. It has classic form of Estibillo and copla in the form ABC a’b’a’b’ ABC. Another polyphonic setting of the same text is in Villancicos de diversos autores of 1556 = Cancionero de Uppsala, no 14. According to H. Enrique (p. 90) the music is different. Roa and Gertrudix show the differences between the texts of the Pisador and Uppsala versions. These are very similar apart from the “vuelta” which are completely different.

The text cited in a humorous poem [chiste] by Juan Fernández de Heredia “Soy garridica / y biuo penada” from E:Mn Mss 5593, ed. in Marino, El Cancionero de Valencia, 170-174 (that also lists numerous other concordances from Frenk, Nuevo Corpus I:190.)
