about

An anonymous Spanish renaissance song with a fairly popular text.

lyrics

Mother, ah my mother, you set your guards upon me
But if I don't guard myself, you will guard me in vain.

Love is a blacksmith's son who crafts fine keys and key rings
with which he silently opens any door;
and ope it stays, though you would close it.
But if I don't guard myself, you will guard me in vain.

Whoever is wont to be in love will, like a moth, make for the flame
However much it may dazzle and however much they may guard
However much they try to do what you are doing to me
If I don't guard myself, you will guard me in vain.
