La mi sola, Laureola
(Canciones clásicas españolas, no. 7)
Text: Juan Ponce (b.ca.1480)
La mi sola, Laureola
La mi sola, sola, sola…
Yo el cautivo Leriano
Aunque mucho estoy ufano
Herido de aquella mano
Que en el mundo es una sola.
La mi sola Laureola
La mi sola, sola, sola.
My Only Laureola
(English version ©2010, E. Lein)
She's my only Laureola,
My only one and only!
I'm but her captive, Leriano;
And though I'm very proud and grand
I've yet been wounded at her hand--
In this world she is the one and only!
She's my only Laureola,
My only one and only!
