General Information

Title: Fata la parte
Composer: Juan del Encina

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB
Genre: Secular, Villancico

Language: Spanish
Instruments: A cappella

    Manuscript 1465 in Cancionero de Palacio, no. 455
Description: The text is a funny mix of Spanish and Italian, either on purpose to obtain a comical effect, or because it has been copied by someone who did not understand what he was writing. The story is clearly an issue of cuckoldry and can be more or less made sense, though it is not clear what "fata la parte" means exactly.

Original text and translations

Spanish text Fata la parte, fata la parte tutt' ogni cal, qu'es morta la muller de miçer Cotal. Porque l'hai trovato con un españolo en su casa solo, luego l'hai maçato. Lui se l'ha escapato por forsa y por arte. Fata la parte, fata la parte tutt' ogni cal, qu'es morta la muller de miçer Cotal Restava dicendo porque l'hovo visto ¡O, válasme Cristo! el dedo mordiendo gridando y piagendo: ¡Españoleto, guarte! Fata la parte, fata la parte tutt' ogni cal, qu'es morta la muller de miçer Cotal. ¡Guarda si te pillo, don españoleto! Supra del mi leto te faro un martillo tal que en escrevillo piangeran le carte. Fata la parte, fata la parte tutt' ogni cal, qu'es morta la muller de miçer Cotal. Miçer me compare, gracia della y de ti. Lasa fare a mi y non te curare. Assai mal me pare lui encornudarte Fata la parte, fata la parte tutt' ogni cal, qu'es morta la muller de miçer Cotal.

English translation Tell it, tell it everywhere Mister Cotal's wife is dead! Because he found her with a Spaniard alone in the house, so he killed her he himself escaped, by force and by cunning Tell it, tell it everywhere Mister Cotal's wife is dead! I say so, since I saw him -O, help me Christ- biting his finger Screaming and weeping: "Spaniard, watch out!" Tell it, tell it everywhere Mister Cotal's wife is dead! Watch out if I get you, Don Spaniard! Over my bed i will teach you a lesson such that if it were written, the letters would weep Tell it, tell it everywhere Mister Cotal's wife is dead! Mister, it seems to me, thanks to her and to me Let me be and do not worry it seems bad enough to be, having cuckolded you Tell it, tell it everywhere Mister Cotal's wife is dead!
