ELDER CHORUS
Anonymous (16th century)

Daniel Montes de Oca Telléz, conductor

lyrics

Otro tal misacantano
Quiçá no veréis ogaño.

Quien le ve ansí mansico
Bien piensa qu’es muy borrico.
Pues yo de él os certifico
Que sabe más de un engaño.

La forma de su beber
No se puede ya creer.
Bebe más que botiller
Ni françés ni italiano.

Miralde cuán mesurado
Está el cuero empezgado.
Pareçe asno alquilado
Qu’está en siesta el verano.

Just another such cleric
Maybe you won’t see it right away.

Those who see him as docile
Might as well think he is quite innocent.
Thus, of him I certify
That he knows more than one trick.

The manner of his drinking
Is not believable anymore.
He drinks more than a taverner
Neither French nor Italian.

Look at how cautious
The tanned leather is.
It looks like a hired donkey
That naps during the summer
