Skalerika de oro  (one of many versions of a Ladino folk song sung at weddings)

Skalerika de oro, de oro y de marfil
para he subia la novia a dar kidushin

Venimos a ver, venimos a ver,
Y gozen, i logren, i tengan mucho bien.

La novia no tiene dinero,
Ke mos tenga 'n mazal bueno.

La novia no tiene dinero,
Ke mos tenga 'n mazal alto.

*      *      *

Ladder of gold, of gold and of ivory,
For the bride to ascend to give kiddushin (marriage)

We came to see,
to enjoy, to prosper and to have much goodness.

The bride has no money,
May she have the best of luck.

The bride has no money,
May she have the most good fortune.
