Cuano el rey Nimrod

Some more good stuff from Bahaltener Pinkos. Two versions of Cuano el rey Nimrod, a song about Nimrod and, lehavdil, Avraham Avinu, in Ladino:
קואנדו אל ריי נמרוד (Cuando el rey Nimrod) (by Abraham Ferera)
One more version קואנדו אל ריי נמרוד (by Yehoram Gaon)
To see full lyrics in Ladino, with English translation, visit the original post.

Although I’ve obviously heard of Ladino before, I never heard it spoken and sung. It has what I like in languages: the hardness resembling that of Spanish or Russian with some softness in between. Like a crunchy eclair with gooey filling.
