Lyrics
Era vn ortolano byen simpre e syn mal
En el mes de enero con fuerte tenporal
Andando por su huerta, vido so vn peral
Vna culebra chica, medio muerta atal
Con la nieue E con el viento e con la elada fria
Estaua la culeba medio amodorrida
El omne piadoso que la vido aterida
Doliose mucho della, quisole dar la vida
Tomola en la falda e leuola a su casa
Pusola çerca de fuego, çerca de buena blasa
Abiuo la culebra ante que la el asa
Entro envn forada desa cosina rrasa
Aqueste ome bueno da uale cada dia
Del pan E de la leche e de quanto el comia
Creçio con el grand vyçio e con el grand bien que
Tenia, tanto que sierpe grande a todos paresçia
Venido eselestio, la siesta affyncada
Que ya non avia miedo deviento nin de elada
Salyo de aquel forado sañuda E ayrada
Començo de enponçoñar con venino la posada
Dixole el ortolano, «Vete de equeste lugar
Non fagas aqui dapño!"Elle fuese en-sañar
Ablaçolo tan fuerte que lo querria afogar
Apretandolo mucho, cruel mente, syn vagar
Era vn ortolano byen simpre e syn mal
En el mes de enero con fuerte tenporal
Andando por su huerta, vido so vn peral
Vna culebra chica, medio muerta atal
Lyrics translation
It was VN ortolano Byen simpre and syn mal
In January with strong tenporal
Walking through his garden, vido so VN peral
VNA Snake Girl, half dead atal
With the snow and with the wind and with the cold elada
This is the half-smelling snake
The pious omne who saw her terrified
Doliose mucho della, quisole give life
Tomola in the skirt and leuola home
Put it around fire, around good blasa
Abiuo the snake before the handle
Within envn forada desa cosina rrasa
That good ome gives uale every day
Bread and milk and how much he ate
I grew up with the grand vyçio and the grand good that
He had, so much that big saw seemed to all
Come eelestio, the nap affyncada
That ya non Avia fear becoming nin of elada
I came out of that hole sañuda and ayrada
Beginning of enpunção with venino La posada
Dixole El ortolano, " get out of this place
Non phagas here dapño!"Elle fuese en-sañar
I'd want to drown him.
Squeezing it a lot, cruel mind, syn wander
It was VN ortolano Byen simpre and syn mal
In January with strong tenporal
Walking through his garden, vido so VN peral
VNA Snake Girl, half dead atal
