L'hereu Riera

from Nits cosides by Mara Aranda

/

about

No hi ha més governant en les balades tradicionals que l’implacable dogal de la fatalitat. Una fatalitat apresa de l’experiència diària: el 1910, a Banyeres de Mariola, es repetia la dramàtica història de l’hereu Riera i la seua promesa agonitzant en les figures de Matxero i Teresa els quals, al poc de temps, passaren a protagonitzar la versió local del romanç.

The yoke of fatality reigns in traditional ballads. A fatality learned in everyday experience: in 1910, in Banyeres de Mariola the dramatic story of the Hereu Riera and his fiancée is repeated again, in the figures of Matxero and Teresa, who, later, become the main characters in the local version of the ballad.

lyrics

A la plaça nova hi havia un ball ai l’arriera ahi va ballar.

Riera no balles que no pots ballar que a la teua novia van a combregar.

No plores riera que no pots plorar tinc una germana i te’n pots casar.

Jo no vull germanes ni tampoc germans hom tu ben casada ja no em puc casar.

Lo que em regalares en la caixa està orellals i agulles, anells i collars.

Fins als cementeri la va acompanyar i en deixar-la en terra ell la va a besar.
