about

The third track off of Savor, an entire Ladino album about food! This one is about a woman who poisons her lover, only to regret it soon after. She tried to revive him with chicken soup, but alas...

lyrics

Ladino:
Abrisme, kara de rosa, abrisme la puerta,
Ya bajo kara de rosa, i abriole la puerta.
Tokose mano kon mano, subiole a la guerta.
Debajo de un limon verde, pusieron la mesa.
Ya komieron, ya bebieron, dormidos se kedan.
Hacia la medianoche, malato dispierta.
-Ke tienes i tu, Andelino, ke te vas kejando?"
-Tengo un dolor en el pecho, me responde al lado.
-Kedate aki kinze dias, yo te pondre sano:
Te dare gayina en kaldo, pichones asados.
Despues ke matais al ombre, buskais de kurarlo.
Basta de tantas palabras, Andelino iba volando.

English:
Open the door for me, Face-of-a-Rose,
Face-of-a-rose came down and opened the door door for him.]
Hand in hand, she brought him up to the garden.
Beneath a green lemon tree, they set the table.
They ate, they drank, they fell asleep.
At midnight, he awakes, ill.
"What's the matter, Andelino, that you are moaning?"
"I have a pain in my chest,” he responds next to me.
“Stay here 15 days, I will make you well:
I'll give you chicken soup, roasted pigeons.”
After you kill a man, you try to cure him.
Enough of words, Andelino was flying away.
