General Information
Title: Ay, triste que vengo
Composer: Juan del Encina
Number of voices: 3vv Voicing: STB
, also arrangement for SATB
Genre: Secular, Villancico
Language: Spanish
Instruments: A cappella, but in its time it was very common to make use of some instruments ensemble (brass, for example), and in some cases, without human voices. The rule was quite simple: the music was executed with what they had at hand.
Manuscript 1465 in Cancionero de Palacio, no. 378
Description:
Originally has its usual voicing: Tiple (soprano), Tenor and Contra (Basso)
In the CMP, the time seems to be 6/2 (and not 3/2) and the notation is in half notes, but as a suggestion, it can be executed and interpreted reducing the notation to 1/4 (Ref.: Carolynn R. Lee, Australia)

Ay, triste, que vengo
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.
Más sano me fuera
no ir al mercado
que no que viniera
tan aquerenciado:
que vengo, cuitado,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.
Di jueves en villa
viera una doñata,
quise requerilla
y aballó la pata.
Aquella me mata,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.
Con vista halaguera
miréla y miróme.
Yo no sé quién era
mas ella agradóme;
y fuese y dexóme
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.
De ver su presencia
quedá cariñoso,
quedé sin hemencia,
quedé sin reposo,
quedé muy cuidoso,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.
Ahotas que creo
ser poca mi vida
según que ya veo
que voy de caída.
Mi muerte es venida,
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.
(Fin)
Sin dar yo tras ella
no cuido ser bivo,
pues que por querella
de mí soy esquivo.
Y estoy muy cativo
vencido d'amor
magüera pastor.
