Durme, Durme mi alma, doncella | Sleep, Sleep, my soul, fair lady Durme, durme sin ansia y dolor | Sleep, Sleep, without worries and pain durme, durme sin ansia y dolor | Sleep, Sleep, without worries and pain Que tu esclavo que tanto desea | That your slave that longs ver tu sueño con grande amor | to see you sleep with much love ver tu sueño con grande amor | to see you sleep with much love Hay dos años que sufre mi alma | For two years my soul has suffered por ti llolla(?) mi linda dama | For you it cries, my fair lady por ti llolla mi linda dama | For you it cries, my fair lady siente siente al son de mi guitarra | Feel, Feel to the rhythm of my guitar siente, hermosa, mis males cantar | hear me, fair lady, singing my woes siente, hermosa, mis males cantar | hear me, fair lady, singing my woes durme durme mi alma doncella | Sleep, Sleep, my soul, young lady durme durme sin ansia y dolor | Sleep, Sleep, without worries and pain durme durme sin ansia y dolor | Sleep, Sleep, without worries and pain This is my amateur attempt, but it should convey the tenor of the song. Some observations: "Durme" is "Duerme" in modern Spanish (from Dormir/To Sleep); "llolla", this must be Ladino for "llora" (from Llorar/To cry); "Siente" from Sentir/To feel, but also "hear" or "listen". Doncella is a young woman (pre-sexual encounters). The phrase "Que tu esclavo que tanto desea", I take it as meaning that he (the singer) sees himself as her slave (in deep love).

​​​​@@ricardoderas5638 I'm pretty sure that "llolla" word is actually "joya" = jewel. It's just that the old pronunciation of the "j" can sometimes make you mix up words. Because "llora" is the same in both Ladino and Spanish.

@@ricardoderas5638 Thank you. I recall years ago as a teenager the Swiss wife of my father's friend had recorded this from a play she had been in about the concentration camps in Germany. She had sung it as a lullaby to an infant she was trying to protect.
