yet another poetry break

[asthran]

Maybe a year or so ago, I was poking around in Disc-Go-Round, in their ethnic music section.

I found a CD of medieval sephardic songs, and read through it, thinking it might be a good gift for my mom.

I ended up not getting it, because I thought the music sounded not-so-good, but one of the songs stuck with me.

I wrote down what I could remember, so I wouldn't forget, and a few weeks later I went back to reread the lyrics.

I'd gotten a fair amount of the remembering wrong, but I decided I liked how I remembered it better than the original translation.


I fell in love with a glance
  Oh my lovely one
I fell in love with a glance
By moonlight

If it had not been night
  Oh my lovely one
If it had not been night
I would not have been fooled

If I ever fall in love again
  Oh my lovely one
If I ever fall in love again
May the sun be shining
