La Tricotea by Anonymous — Lyrics
Discrepencies between sources are indicated thus: (material from one source/material from another source).
La tricotea,
sa Martin la vea.
Abres un poc
al agua y señalea.
La bota senbra tuleta,
la señal d’un chapiré.
(Ce/Ge) que te gus per mundo spesa.
La botilla plena,
Dama, qui mana,
cerrali la vena,
Orli, cerli, (trun/trum), madama,
cerlicer, cerrarli ben,
(votr’/botr’) ami contrari ben.
Niqui, niquidón,
formagidón, formagidón.
Yo soy monarchea
de grande nobrea.
Dama, por amor,
dama, bel sé vea,
dama, yo la vea.

About La Tricotea
This ATB setting of the Spanish secular song La Tricotea opens with a lively, almost dance-like character. The music unfolds with intricate interplay between the three male voices, reflecting the spirited and somewhat playful nature of the text. The lyrics appear to describe a woman, 'Dama,' and her actions, possibly related to household chores or daily life, with occasional interjections that add to the rustic charm. The composer is anonymous, placing this work within the rich tradition of secular part-music from the Renaissance. Its engaging melody and rhythmic vitality make it an appealing choice for a choir seeking a spirited piece with a touch of historical flavour.
