lyrics

Ay, triste, que vengo
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.

Más sano me fuera
no ir al mercado
que no que viniera
tan aquerenciado:
que vengo, cuitado,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.

Di jueves en villa
viera una doñata,
quise requerilla
y aballó la pata.
Aquella me mata,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.

Con vista halaguera
miréla y miróme.
Yo no sé quién era
mas ella agradóme;
y fuese y dexóme
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.

De ver su presencia
quedá cariñoso,
quedé sin hemencia,
quedé sin reposo,
quedé muy cuidoso,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.

Ahotas que creo
ser poca mi vida
según que ya veo
que voy de caída.
Mi muerte es venida,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.

Sin dar yo tras ella
no cuido ser bivo,
pues que por querella
de mí soy esquivo.
Y estoy muy cativo
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.

===========================

Oh how sad I am,
Overcome by love for you,
shepherdess enchantress!
It would have been wiser for me
not to go to the market,
for in this case
I wouldn't have fallen so much in love.
But now, I the wretched man
Am overcome by love for you,
Oh shepherdess enchantress!
On Thursday, I saw a lady in town
and tried to address her,
but she stamped her feet in anger.
She leads me to my death,,
For I am overcome by love for you,
Oh shepherdess enchantress!
I looked at her ingratiatingly,
And she looked at me.
I didn't know who she is,
but I liked her.
And she went away, and she left me
overcome by love for you,
oh shepherdess enchantress!
For having seen her,
I fell in love,
I became weak,
I became restless,
I became very sad,
overcome by love for you,
oh shepherdess enchantress!
I am sure my life
will hence be short,
for I already perceive
my decline.
My death has come,
For I am overcome by love for you,
Oh shepherdess enchantress!

Without her,
I don't care for life,
For because of my love for her,
I neglect myself.
I am wholly captivated,
overcome by love for you,
oh shepherdess enchantress!
