Las morillas de Jaén
Rolando Alárcon
The Moorish Maidens of Jaén
Version sung by Rolando Alarcón
Three Moorish maidens enchant me
in Jaén,
Axa and Fátima and Marién.
Three such graceful Moorish maidens
were going to pick olives,
and they were found picked
in Jaén,
Axa and Fátima and Marién.
And they were found picked,
and they returned faint
and their colors lost
in Jaén
Axa and Fátima and Marién.
Three such fresh Moorish maidens
were going to pick apples
and they were found cut
in Jaén,
Axa and Fátima and Marién.
And they were found cut,
and they returned faint
and their colors changed
in Jaén,
Axa and Fátima and Marién.
