Bridal Chest Lyrics
There is a workshop
Full of noises
Things are cut
Things are bound
Things are built
Built in secret
The bridal chest
The wedding gown
Bring the maiden
From the cloister
Bring her free
Bring her bound
She will stand
With her ancestors
The bridal chest
The wedding gown
Pay the dowry
In dolls and dishes
That’s the dough
This day of crowns
That’s the dough
It is el dinero
The bridal chest
The wedding gown
Bring the captain
From the lee shore
Leave his ship
To run aground
Leave his crew
To hungry fishes
The bridal chest
The wedding gown
Pay the dowry
In dolls and dishes
That’s the dough
This day of crowns
That’s the dough
It is el dinero
The bridal chest
The wedding gown
