Las morillas de Jaén

Tres morillas m'enamoran
en Jaén:
Axa y Fátima y Marién.
 
Tres morillas tan garridas
iban a coger olivas,
y hallábanlas cogidas
en Jaén:
Axa y Fátima y Marién.
 
Y hallábanlas cogidas
y tornaban desvaídas
y las colores perdidas
en Jaén:
Axa y Fátima y Marién.

Tres morillas m'enamoran
en Jaén:
Axa y Fátima y Marién.
 
Tres morillas tan lozanas,
tres morillas tan lozanas
iban a coger manzanas
en Jaén:
Axa y Fátima y Marién.
 
Díjeles: ¿Quién sois, señoras,
de mi vida robadoras?
Cristianas que éramos moras
en Jaén:
Axa y Fátima y Marién.
 
~ ~ ~
 
Tres morillas m'enamoran
en Jaén:
Axa y Fátima y Marién.
 
Translation

The Moorish girls from Jaén

I'm in love with three Moorish girls
in Jaén:
Aicha, Fatima and Marien.
 
Three Moorish girls so gay
went to pick olives,
and found them plucked away
in Jaén:
Aicha, Fatima and Marien.
 
And found them plucked away
and they turned back in dismay
with all their colours lost
in Jaén:
Aicha, Fatima and Marien.
 
~ ~ ~
 
I'm in love with three Moorish girls
in Jaén:
Aicha, Fatima and Marien.
 
Three Moorish girls so lusty,
three Moorish girls so lusty
went to pick apples
in Jaén:
Axa, Fatima and Marien.
 
I said to them, “Who are you, ladies,
that rob me of my life?”
“We are Christians who were Moors
in Jaén:
Aicha, Fatima and Marien.
 
~ ~ ~
 
I'm in love with three Moorish girls
in Jaén:
Aicha, Fatima and Marien.

It doesn't apply to Lorca. That was one of the reasons why he was not popular during my up-bringing years, (Franco's years).

In answer to Vale's comment.

Dear Rosa, you give me right.
Lorca is like his friend Dalí - they break rules.
For historical reasons, there has been a lack of confidence towards Moorish people.
In spite of that, Lorca fell in love with the three young girls. (in our poem)
Everything ends happily because they had converted to Christianity.
-
Neither Dalí nor Lorca had the popularity they deserved.
They were considered crazy and egocentric artists.
Time has shown that both were genial in their fields.

Thanks to God, they converted!
