One evening in the month of roses
a dancing party was held,
it afforded a thousand pleasures,
as was famed both far and wide.
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.


When Alamadán was wed
a grand old party was thrown,
the daughters of Aeneas danced
with the grandsons of Milan.
The father-in-law of Bertrán
and Orpheus's sister-in-law
began a Guinea dance
which was finished by an Amazon,
as was famed both far and wide.
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.


Out came the country lass
with the sickly fellow's wife,
from the fairground of Zamora
with Lisarda the shepherdess
Petty Dona Albarda
stepped out with Don Gonzado
and a blind man with his stick
poked a pretty behind
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.


Out came Galen the physician
with clogs and strings of coral
and the swaggering Diego Moreno
with his kettledrums a-hanging.
Then came the trickster Vireno
behind the gluttonous woman,
and the busy-body from Cazalla
with the so-and-so from Arjona,
as was famed both far and wide.
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.


Out stepped Ganasa and Cisneros,
both with their beards well singed,
and after them came brawling
Anasarte and Oliveros.
Out came the doctor Aesculapius
with a string of mixing bowls,
and Cupid's own lady mother
attired in her Bayonne best,
as was famed both far and wide.
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.


Out came the toffs and snobs
all rusting at the seams,
and a grotesque masque was danced
by the merry-andrew and the harpy.
Twixt the toffs and snobs
such a battle broke out,
that they called on the Cid
to dance a chaconne forthwith,
as was famed both far and wide.
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.


Out came a cargo of Aloes
with all their vermin to boot,
and a crane perched on one foot
selling porrige of barley groats.
A faithless African came next,
with a negro and a gypsy girl,
singing dina dina dana
and the negro sang din, din dan,
as was famed both far and wide.
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.


Along came thirty Sundays
with twenty Mondays on their backs,
and with them an unwilling donkey
bearing the load in his packs.
Juana with powders and potions
came done up to the nines,
and more than forty hussies
leaving Barcelona behind,
as was famed both far and wide.
Here's to the good, sweet life,
my sweet, let's dance the chaconne.

چمن
ای بـــــهار آرزو ...... بر سرم سایه فکن
چون نسیم نو بهار ...... بر آشــیانم کن گذر
تا که گلباران شود ...... کـــــلبه ویران من

تا بهار زنــدگی ...... آمد بیا آرام جان
تا نسیم از سوی گل ...... آمـــد بیا دامن کشان
چون سپندم بر ســـــر ...... آتش نشان بنشین دمی
چون سرشکم در کـنار ...... بنشین نشان سوز نهان

******
تا بهار دلنشین ...... آمده سوی چمن
ای بـــــهار آرزو ...... بر سرم سایه فکن
چون نسیم نو بهار ...... بر آشــیانم کن گذر
تا که گلباران شود ...... کـــــلبه ویران من

باز آ ببین در حیرتم ...... بشکن سکوت خلوتم
چون لاله تنــها ببین ...... بر چهره داغ حسرتم
ای روی تـو آیینه ام ...... عشقت غم دیرینه ام
باز آ چو گل در این بهار ...... ســـــر را بنه بر سینه ام
