I'm on a bit of an alegrías kick. Yesterday I got together with Vicente to practice, and he sang me this letra...
Alegrías
Popular
Ayúdame caballero
a pintar esta rosa
que estoy solito
y no puedo dibujarla tan hermosa
Help me, Gentleman
to paint this rose
I am alone,
and I cannot draw it so beautifully
Hear Enrique Morente singing it again here and here with Sabicas.
And, it's the same story, you know, the translation challenge. If you have any suggestions or just something to say, I'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment below.
