Daca, bailemos by Juan del Encina — Lyrics
Daca, bailemos, Carillo
al sondeste caramillo.
Ora que te vaga spacio,
salta, salte sin falseta,
Aburre la zapateta y
nombra tu generacio.
Que semejes del palacio
aunque seas pastorcillo.
A la mi fe no t'ahucio
ni quiero tu placentorio,
qu'estoy cargado de llorio
y en otros cuiods descrucio
Oteá mi despellucio
soncas que stoy amarillo.
Dusna, dusna el zamarrón
sal acá ¡pes'a San Junco!
Riedro vaya el despelunco
ponte en el corro el jubón.
Mira que agudillo son
para salto con gritillo.

About Daca, bailemos
Juan del Encina, a pivotal figure in Spanish Renaissance music, composed Daca, bailemos, a spirited villancico for ATB voices. The text, written in Spanish, captures a lively, perhaps slightly rustic, scene where the singer urges a companion to dance. It describes various dance steps and gestures, revealing a playful, perhaps even boisterous, atmosphere. The lyrics contrast the joy of dancing with the singer's own lament or ailment, adding a layer of dramatic irony. This piece offers a delightful glimpse into the secular and popular musical traditions of its time, sung in its original language for an authentic early music experience.
