Edition notes: This is my arrangement of a Sephardic romance for Salonica. Like many traditional Sephardic songs it was collected by an ethnomusicologist around the beginning of the 20th century, which is why I indicated the time period as "early 20th century", but the arrangement is fairly "Romantic" in style. I also indicated Spanish as the language, because Judeo-Spanish was not an option. I love and have performed Sephardic music, but since I'm not personally part of the Sephardic community, I didn't feel comfortable publishing it for profit. So I'm making this arrangement free and available to whoever would like to use it. This edition is in B flat minor. For transpositions, feel free to write me and I'll try to get that to you ASAP.

Spanish text

Paxaro d’hermozura
Que fueras la mi ventura
Tienes djiente cruela
Non s’a dji de an de mí
Callí debaxxo d’ella Hermoza
como la estrella
Ya me quemí con ella
Me hizo entrar en el amor
