Song Text
Corten espadas afiladas
Lenguas malas.
Mañana de San Francisco
Levantado me han un dicho
Que hablé (dormí) con la niña virgo.
Lenguas malas
Corten espadas afiladas
Lenguas malas.
Liberame, Domine, a labis iniquis
Et a lingua dolosa erueme (sic)
Lenguas malas, lenguas malas
Corten espadas afiladas
Lenguas malas.
Sharpened swords slash out
evil tongues.
Early on the morning of St Francis,
I heard the rumour.
Sharpened swords slash out those
evil tongues.
Free me, Lord, from their iniquitous lips
and their painful words.
Evil tongues!
Just after I rose rumour was around
that I had slept with a virgin girl.
Evil tongues!
Blessed is he that fears the Lord,
that delights greatly in his commandments.
Evil tongues!
