The "Folk Literature of the Sephardic Jews Multimedia Digital LIbrary" is funded by a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation, Digital Library Initiative Phase 2 and the Maurice Amado Foundation. The goal is to create a web-accessible archive of the Sephardic oral literature collected by Samuel G. Armistead, Joseph H. Silverman and Israel J. Katz in fieldwork conducted since 1957.

Commentary on transcriptions has been provided by Samuel G. Armistead, who is solely responsible for identifying the ballad-titles and other genres of this folk literature.

The orthographic conventions used in transcribing these files are based upon those of Samuel G. Armistead. We have attempted to represent all variations from the pronunciation of modern Castilian Spanish and our orthography therefore captures phonetic phenomena which use of modern Spanish orthography would otherwise obscure. The full description of our conventions is available on the home page of the website.

Ballad Title Not Yet Identified esta es la continuación del archivo 62re33a-6 canción. inf1 -- Hermanito de mi vida,hermano de toda mi alma, ¿no me queréis socorrercon un vasito de agua? La boquita se me ensiendey la garganta se mi abrasa. -- No lo beberás, traidora,no le beberás, malvada, por no haber querido haserlo que e[l] rey padre mandaba. -- Ya se va la delgaditade barandita en baranda. Y se asomara a un balcóny a una ventana muy alta, donde encontrara a su madreen siya de oro sentada, peine de oro en la su mano,peinando sus viejas canas. -- ¿Madresita de mi vida,madre de toda mi alma, no me queréis socorrercon un vasito de agua? Que de sed y no de hambresalir se me quiere el alma. -- Con la vida te lo daba,te lo daría del alma, pero temo al rey tu padre,que conmigo las tomara. -- Ya se va la delgaditade barandita en baranda. Y se asomara a un balcón,a una ventana muy alta, donde encontrara a su padre,en siyón de oro sentaba. -- ¿Padresito de mi vida,padre de toda mi alma, no me queréis socorrercon un vasito de agua? La boquita se me ensiendey la garganta se mi abrasa. -- Que vengan mis cabayeros, comentario inf2[ cantando ] "yo haré lo que usted manda" [ hablando ] Ahí, porque la dio [e]l agua. [] [ repite ] -- Que vengan mis cabayeros,los que me sirven la caja. Unos que vayan por vinoy otros que vayan por agua. Y el que más pronto yegasela corona se ganaba. -- Cuando el del vino llegó,Mariquita muerta estaba. Y a los pies de Mariquita,una fuente de agua clara y a la cabesera tuvoa la Virgen soberana. comentario Joseph H. Silverman Muy bien. corte de cinta conversación Samuel G.
