    CD: Songs of the Sephardim - A Lecture Performance
    Credits: Music source: The Flory Jagoda Songbook: Memories of Sarajevo, (Tara Publications), 1993. arr. Mary Ann Brown

    Story Behind the Song
    arr. Mary Ann Brown
    This romance was one of a group of songs sent to Flory Jagoda by an elderly Sephardic song collector and singer in Skopje, Macedonia (close to the border with Greece), who was anxious to pass them on to the "lady in America" who was helping to nurture a new generation for appreciating the old music.

    Lyrics


    Yo parti para la gera
    Dos besos al aire yo echi
    Uno es para mi madri
    Il otru es para ti
    Ninya di mi korason
    Il otru es para ti

    Ken pensa de se enamurar
    Ke fuiga de lunar
    Ke lunar es mentiroso
    Save enganyar

    Nu yoris, ijika linda
    Ke mi fiju mus va turnar
    Il beziko ke echo a mi
    Lo desho para ti
    Ija yena de dulor
    Lo desho para ti
    I leave for the war.
    I send two kisses --
    One is for my mother.
    The other one is for you.
    Girl of my heart,
    The other one is for you.

    Whoever thinks of falling in love,
    Stay away from the moonlight.
    The moonlight is a liar
    And can fool you.

    Don't cry, beautiful girl.
    My son will return to us.
    The kiss that he gave me
    I pass it on to you.
    Girl full of pain,
    I pass it on to you.
