LA CABRALIEGA
Cuando salí de Cabrales
lloraba una cabraliega;
ella lloraba por mi
y yo lloraba por ella.
Non llores, neña, non llores;
non llores nin tengas pena,
en cumpliendo los tres años
cásome contigo, neña.

Si quies ver a Cabrales,
sube al Altu de Cuera,
allí verás a Cabrales
y tola Peñamellera.

Translated by Bob

When I left Cabrales
A Cabrales girl was crying
She was crying for me
And I was crying for her
Don't cry ,little girl, don't cry
Don't cry or have suffering
for when I have completed the three years
I will marry you, little girl

If you want to see Cabrales
Climb up to Altu de Cuera
There you will see Cabrales
And all of Peñamellera.
