Vocals & arrangement by Farya Faraji, oud by Ido Romano and the Bym music group, with improvisations by the latter. This is a song from the repertoire of Sephardi music, that of the Jews expulsed from the Iberian peninsula after the Reconquista. They would come to inhabit the Mediterranean basin, principally the lands of the Ottoman Empire, therefore adopting the sonority and styles of various regional forms of music from that broad Mediterranean and Oriental continuum. This specific song comes from Smyrna in Anatolia. The lyrics are in the Ladino language, an offshoot of Old Castillian that has become its own distinct romance language. Lyrics in Ladino: A la una yo nací A las dos m'engrandecí A las tres tomí amante A las quatro me cazí. Me cazí con un amor, alma y vida y coracón. Dime niña donde vienes? Que te quiero conocer. Si tú no tienes amante, yo dejara de aprender, alma y vida y coracón. Yendo me para la Guerra, dos bezos al aire di, el uno es para mi madre, y el otro para tí. English translation: I was born at one, At two I grew, At three I took a lover, At four I wed. Tell me girl, where do you come from? I want to know you, Tell me if you have a lover, If not, I will love you. Going off to war, I throw two kisses into the air; One is for my mother, And the other is for you. Soul, life, and heart.

My hometown of Thessaloniki, a multicultural centre for millennia, had such a large Sephardic community that Ladino was the language most spoken in the city at some point. They are woven into the city's canvas. Shout out to my mom's best friend, last one alive of the old gang, still going strong at 95. And also our beloved Molho, the book store family.

Interesting! Are there still traces of the Ladino language in present day Thessaloniki? Can you understand a bit of Spanish?

As a former klezmer performer, who played many Ladino songs, you nailed it!! It makes me so happy to see Jewish music being revitalized and preserved in such a manner.

Because the language of the song is pretty much Spanish, especially in its pronunciation. It literally is "old" Spanish that has been kept "unevolutioned", both in its spoken and in its written form, in such way that it's like a preservation of medieval Spanish which is much closer to modern Spanish than what medieval English is to modern English

Es increíble escuchar a Farya cantar con ese acento. ¡Viva los sefardíes!

Okay, it is impressive that, if you're not a Spanish speaker, you managed to pronounce this clearly. Kudos to you!!!!

Estupendo trabajo Farya, felicitaciones desde México.

Really fun to hear this as a Sephardic Jew with a ladino speaking granddad, thank you✨

Têm tantos brasileiros nos comentários... Acho que o Farya podia sinceramente fazer um fan service pro seu público luso-brasileiro! Por favor, Farya, uma música com temática naval portuguesa cairia bem. Se essa música abordasse o Brasil também, seria ainda mais incrível🥺

Man this is beautiful. I don’t know how you’re able to contort your voice into every accent imaginable. Keep up the good work!

Sephardic is one of my favorite kinds of music and you do it so much justice.

Man the way your music touches the soul is indescribable! and the way your voice changes depending on the language is formidable!

I listened to another recording of this yesterday, followed by your Kuando el rey Nimrod - how wonderful!

Didn't recognise your voice there, love this arrangement! I always thought this particular song was from Medieval Spain, had no idea we had those types of melodies in Anatolia. Out of curiosity - is there a reason for your pronunciation here to be more "Spanish/Castillan" than in your previous Ladino songs? I'm only familiar with modern Turkish Ladino, got me wondering! I have a feeling you would like my all-time favourite Turkish Sephardic song, so since it's pretty rare and there's a chance you might not know it yet: Manyana i Manyana. To my knowledge there are only two versions on youtube: an acapella archival record of Kobi Zarko, and an arrangement by the great Iberian band Milo ke Mandarini. Hope you give it a listen and enjoy it as much as I enjoy your music. Happy Purim to those who celebrate, happy normal evening to those who don't!

Yeah most Sephardi songs actually don't date back to the Iberian era, and are from after the expulsion. As for the accent, it's just lack of attention haha. I speak Spanish (what little I know) with a northern Castillian accent because that's what I was exposed to living in southern France, and Ladino is so close to Spanish that I can't stop my Spanish accent coming through if I'm not paying attention, and in all honesty I threw this one together pretty quickly. I'll check out the song you mentionned!

@Maatkara1000

Because there is a very short pronunciation distance between medieval Spanish and modern Spanish, and Ladino is like a ""fossil"" of medieval Spanish - while the Spanish language evolutioned and had its writing changed into the way it is nowadays, Ladino has kept the old ways and solidified them into writing. That's why the verbs end with -i (tomí, casí) instead of doing it with -e, because the -e is a post-Medieval phonetical evolution that the Ladino has not undergone

I am amazed by how you can sing songs in that much different cultures and you make all of them great. Lots of love and appreciarion ❤

With today’s Ladino spelling: A la una yo nasi A las dos m'engrandesi A las tres tomí amante A las kuatro me kasi. Me kasi kon un amor, alma i vida i korason. Dime ninya donde vyenes? Ke te kyero konoser. Si tu no tienes amante, yo dejara de aprender, alma i vida i korason. Yendo me para la gerra, dos besos al ayre di, el uno es para mi madre, y el otro para ti.
