Thanks, Monique, That gives me some sense of what the cantiga is about. In the verses that follow, she's going to set a philanderer on the path of virtue.

I believe that the language of the cantigas is called Catalan. It's wonderful that you can make sense of a text that old in a remote language, and I appreciate it.

Our group played the tune last night. (woodwinds, one guitar, two harps, percussion). I have had a copy of it floating around my place for a long time, perhaps a year, and I didn't think it especially promising. However, it had a very simple harmony part which I thought would suit a new player we have. To my amazement, when the big harp played the first few measures, the tune was hauntingly beautiful. We had a great time playing it with various instruments.

I shall be putting a gold star on it for future sessions.
