Val de Fuenteovejuna

To the valley of FuenteovejunaAl val de fuenteovejuna
The girl with loose hair descendsLa niña en cabello baja
The knight follows herEl caballero la sigue
With the Cross of CalatravaDe la Cruz de Calatrava
He hides among the branchesEntre las ramas se esconde
Ashamed and embarrassedDe vergonzosa e turbada
Pretending not to have seen herFingiendo que no le ha visto
He puts the branches in frontPone delante las ramas

Why do you hide¿Para qué te ascondes
Brave girl?Niña gallarda?
That my lynx desiresQue mis linces deseos
Pass through wallsParedes pasan

The knight approachedAcercóse el caballero
And she, confused and embarrassedY ella confusa y turbada
Tried to make latticesHacer quiso celosías
With the intricate branchesDe las intricadas ramas
But like someone in loveMas como quien tiene amor
Crosses easilyLos mares e las montañas
The seas and mountainsAtraviesa fácilmente
And tells her these wordsLa dice tales palabras

Why do you hide¿Para qué te ascondes
Brave girl?Niña gallarda?
That my lynx desiresQue mis linces deseos
Pass through wallsParedes pasan
