Cantigas de Amigo by Martin Codax
On these pages you will find songs, poems and stories from an older time. Most of them will be Cantigas and Romances from Medieval and Renaissance Spain. I fell in love with these songs the first time I heard them, and I want others to appreciate them too. So on these pages I have attempted translations and recordings to give you a taste of the beauty of these songs and poems.
But don't be put off if Spanish or Portuguese doesn't interest you. There are many songs and tales here from many different cultures that I wished to share because they touched me in some way. I hope that they strike a chord with you as well.
If you have any suggestions for other songs or tales that should be included here, please contact me.
