"La Delgadina" is a Mexican folk song, or ''corrido'', centering on a young lady that disobeys her father's wish to be his wife, ending with her tragic death. ''La Delgadina'' has its origins in Spain as a longer ballad with a more-descriptive background; it was simplified in Mexico in the 18th-century just alluding to the fact of Delgadina's refusal and later punishment. ==Storyline== The storyline goes as Delgadina, a young lady that wears a silk dress wanders around her living room. Her father instructs her to wear her silk skirt (''nagua de seda'' in spanish) to travel to Morelia to church mass. After mass, her father (described as a king) tells her of his longing to marry her. Delgadina responds saying, "God of Heaven and the sovereign queen forbid, this offense to God and treason to my mother". Delgadina's father then locks her up with the help of his eleven servants. Delgadina, apparently, spends days lock in a tower and pleads to her father for water. Upon hearing this, the father quickly sends the eleven servants to give Delgadina water in a gold cup. Unfortunately, they find her dead with her arms crossed and her mouth open. The ending describes Delgadina's heavenly ascension, and her father's infernal demise. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Delgadina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
