"Ay Linda amiga", by an anonymous author is part of the collection of scores of the Cancionero de Palacio. A songbook is a manuscript book, in which compositions are compiled for the use of an aristocratic house, a cathedral or any other institution that has a musical chapel at its service.
The Cancionero de Palacio is an anthology of the polyphonic song that could be heard during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs.
Currently kept in the Library of the Royal Palace, Madrid, it contains both the text and the music of the profane songs of the Castilian court of the last years of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th.
¡Ay linda amiga!
¡AY LINDA AMIGA!
​
Ay, linda amiga, que no vuelvo a verte,
cuerpo garrido que me lleva a la muerte.
No hay amor sin pena, pena sin dolor,
ni dolor tan agudo como el del amor,
ni dolor tan agudo como el del amor.
Ay, linda amiga, que no vuelvo a verte,
cuerpo garrido que me lleva a la muerte.
Levántame madre al salir el sol,
fui por los campos verdes a buscar mi amor,
fui por los campos verdes a buscar mi amor.
​
Oh, beautiful friend, whom I shall not see again,
Your beautiful body takes me on the path of death.
There is no love without grief, no grief without pain,
No pain is more poignant than the pain of love,
No pain is more poignant than the pain of love.
Oh, beautiful friend, whom I shall not see again,
Your beautiful body takes me on the path of death.
Raise me up at sunrise, mother,
I passed the green fields in search of my love
I passed the green fields in search of my love
