Otra canción de la misma señora a unas perdices que le enviaron vivas
Edited by Erik Alder
Canción
De estas aves su nación
es cantar con alegría
y de verlas en prisión
siento yo grave pasión
sin sentir nadie la mía.
Ellas lloran que se vieron
sin temor de ser cautivas
y a quien eran más esquivas
esos mismos las prendieron.
Sus nombres mi vida son
que va perdiendo alegría
y de verlas en prisión
siento yo grave pasión
sin sentir nadie la mía.

Due to their rapid ability to procreate, partridges had a sexual connotation in the Middle Ages; this has lead many to interpret the poem in this way, but may not have been the poet's original intent. The use of the slash between "cancion" and "dela" is unclear |
