Vos me matásteis,

niña en cabello,

vos me habéis muerto.

Riberas de un río

ví moza vírgo,

Niña en cabello,

vos me habéis muerto.

Niña en cabello

You killed me

Spanish Translation © Richard Stokes

You killed me,

girl with hair hanging loose,

you have slain me.

By the river bank

I saw a young maiden.

Girl with hair hanging loose,

you have slain me.

Girl with hair hanging loose,

you have killed me,

you have slain me.
