Despite having been subject of several critical editions, Alfonso X's cantiga "Pero da Ponte, paro-vos sinal" (B487/V70) continues to raise up a few questions among the specialists. On one hand, some philological issues regarding the full reconstruction and understanding of the text. On the other, a complex problem of its interpretation. This paper aims to stress out certain philological issues related to the edition of this cantiga. The main issues belong to the first stanza and especially affect the lesson of the first line, the general interpretation of both vv. 1-2 and 3-4 and the meter structure of the first line of the refrain (vv. 5, 11 and 17). There are also other minor problems concerning the meter structure of vv. 8, 9, and 15, along with the interpretation of v. 19. Finally, this paper argues upon the problems of a new critical edition of the cantiga, based on the archive research I made directly of both manuscripts, with the intention of showing more clearly these difficulties.
