12 The Harp Consort<br />

Venus:<br />

Un Adonis, jay de mi!<br />

^Como, soberanos dioses<br />

cielo, sol, luna y estrellas,<br />

riscos, selvas, prados, bosques,<br />

aves, brutos, fieras, peces,<br />

troncos, plantas, rosas, floras,<br />

fuentes, rios, lagos, mares,<br />

ninfas, deidades y hombres,<br />

sufris tal estrago?<br />

Un sarao de la chacona<br />

Se hizo el mes de las rosas<br />

Huvo millares de cosas<br />

Y la fama lo pregona.<br />

A la vida vidita bona<br />

Vida vaamonos a Chacona<br />

Porque se caso Almadan<br />

Se hizo un bravo sarao<br />

Dancaron hijas de Anao<br />

Con los nietos de Milan<br />

Un suegro de Don Beltran<br />

Y una cunada de Orfeo<br />

ComenAaron un guineo<br />

Y acabolo una amaAona<br />

Y la fama lo pregona...<br />

Salio la Raza y la Traza<br />

Todas tomadas de orin,<br />

Y danzando un matachin<br />

El Onate y la Viaraza<br />

Entre la Raza y la Traza<br />

Se levanto tan gran lid,<br />

Que fue menester que el Cid<br />

Les bailase una Chacona<br />

Y la fama lo pregona...<br />

Venus:<br />

Adonis, alas!<br />

How, sovereign gods,<br />

heaven, sun, moon and stars,<br />

cliffs, forests, meadows, woods,<br />

birds, animals, wild beasts, fish<br />

tree-trunks, plants, roses, flowers,<br />

fountains, rivers, lakes, seas,<br />

nymphs, deities and men,<br />

how can you allow such wickedness?<br />

There was a Chacona soiree<br />

held in <strong>the</strong> month <strong>of</strong> roses.<br />

They did thousands <strong>of</strong> things<br />

and everyone talks about it...<br />

Here's to life, and <strong>the</strong> good life!<br />

Let's go to <strong>the</strong> Chacona!<br />

Since Almadan was to be married<br />

<strong>the</strong>y held an elegant soiree.<br />

The daughters <strong>of</strong> Anao danced<br />

With <strong>the</strong> nephews <strong>of</strong> Milan.<br />

Don Beltran's fa<strong>the</strong>r-in-law<br />

danced with Orpheus' cousin.<br />

A Guinean began it<br />

And a Amazon ended it<br />

and everyone talks about it...<br />

Raza and Traza came<br />

Enflamed with lust.<br />

And old Onate danced a matachin<br />

with crazy Miss Viaraza.<br />

There was such a quarrel between<br />

Raza and Traza, that it was<br />

necessary for El Cid himself<br />

to dance a Chacona for <strong>the</strong>m<br />

and everyone talks about it...
