lyrics

Madre, la mi madre,
Guardas me ponéis;
Que si yo no me guardo,
Ya no me guardaréis.

Dicen que está escrito,
Y con gran razón,
Ser la privación causa de apetito.
Crece en infinito
Encerrado amor.

Madre, la mi madre,
Guardas me ponéis;
Que si yo no me guardo,
Ya no me guardaréis.

Quien tiene costumbre
De ser amorosa,
Como mariposa
Se irá tras la lumbre,
Aunque muchedumbre
De guardas le pongan,
Y aunque más propongan
De hacer lo que hacéis;
Es de tal manera
La fuerza amorosa,
Que a la más hermosa
La vuelve en quimera;
El pecho de cera,
De fuego la gana,
Las manos de lana,
De fieltro los pies.

Madre, la mi madre,
Guardas me ponéis;
Que, si yo no me guardo,
Ya no me guardaréis.

Translation:

Close you watch me, mother mine,
Watch me, and immure me:
Don't you know without my help
You cannot secure me?

Appetite, 'tis said with truth,
By privation groweth;
Thwarted love, like flame confined,
All the fiercer groweth.

Close you watch me, mother mine,
Watch me, and immure me:
Don't you know without my help
You cannot secure me?

Moths will to the taper fly,
Bees on flowers will cluster;
Keep a loving maid who can
From love's golden lustre!
Fear you lest that beacon light
From your arms should lure me?
Well I know without my help
You cannot secure me.
Close you watch me,
There's a way where there's a will:
Keep the will from straying.
Wayward hearts will have their fling,
Spite of all gainsaying.

Close you watch me, mother mine,
Watch me, and immure me:
Don't you know without my help
You cannot secure me.
