Durme, durme querido hijico.
Durme, durme sin ansia ni dolor.
Cierra tus luzyos ojitos,
Durme, durme con savor.
Cierra tus luzyos ojitos,
Durme, durme con savor.

De la cuna saliras,
y a la scola entraras
y tu allí mi querido hijico
a meldar t’ ambezarás.
y tu allí mi querido hijico

Durme, durme querido hijico.
Durme, durme sin ansia ni dolor.
Cierra tus luzyos ojitos,
Durme, durme con savor.
Cierra tus luzyos ojitos,
Durme, durme con savor.

De la scola saliras,
Novia hermosa tomaras
y entonces querido hijico
criaturas tiniras.
y entonces querido hijico
criaturas tiniras

Sephardic is basically Spanish right?

Judaeo-Spanish or Judeo-Spanish (autonym judeoespañol; Hebrew script: גﬞודﬞיאו־איספאנייול‎ djudeo-espanyol; Cyrillic: җудеоеспањол[7]), commonly referred to as Ladino, is a Romance language derived from Old Spanish. Originally spoken in Spain and then after the Edict of Expulsion spreading through the former territories of the Ottoman Empire (the Balkans, Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa) as well as France, Italy, the Netherlands, Morocco, and England, it is today spoken mainly by Sephardic minorities in more than 30 countries, with most of the speakers residing in Israel. Although it has no official status in any country, it has been acknowledged as a minority language in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel, France and Turkey. It is also formally recognised by the Royal Spanish Academy.

The core vocabulary of Judaeo-Spanish is Old Spanish and it has numerous elements from all the old Romance languages of the Iberian Peninsula: Old Aragonese, Astur-Leonese, Old Catalan, Galician-Portuguese and Mozarabic.[9] The language has been further enriched by Ottoman Turkish and Semitic vocabulary, such as Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic — especially in the domains of religion, law and spirituality — and most of the vocabulary for new and modern concepts has been adopted through French and Italian. Furthermore, the language is influenced to a lesser degree by other local languages of the Balkans, such as Greek, Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian.

Sephardic is basically Spanish right?

No, but it is quite similar I am seeing in the post of OP of avobe. I mean, it is like Spanish for illiterates. It is like Spanish very bad written and spoken. For example the title of the song: DURME, DURME. I thought it was the name of some city or something but reading the text means duerme (sleep).

I think it is the first time I read something in Ladino (I think it is called so), and incredibly I understand all.

Not bad but not my type of music. I expected more Oriental influences.
