You, brother, gone to being a government or Ínseulo, and sing to your liking; That my daughter or me, for the century of my mother, that we should not move one step in our village: the honest woman, the broken leg, and at home; And the honest maiden, doing something is her party. Gone with your Don Quixote to your adventures, and leave us with our bad ventures, that God will improve us as we are good; And I do not know, by the way, who gave him Don, who did not have his parents or his agüelos.
The excerpt reflects a sentiment of resignation and criticism towards the aspirations of a brother who seeks to become a government official or adventurer, likened to Don Quixote. The speaker expresses a desire for simplicity and stability in village life, emphasizing that they and their daughter should not be swayed by grand ambitions or adventures.
The mention of "honest women" and the references to familial ties underscore a commitment to traditional roles and a disdain for the quests of those like Don Quixote. The speaker questions the legitimacy of titles given to those who ignore their roots, illustrating a conflict between lofty ideals and the realities of everyday life.
