lyrics

antes de la vi bailar,
yo nunca canté una nota.
pero cuando la vi fruncir su ceño
y aletear sus tobillos,
mis papos se estremecieron
con el canción.

desde entonces, he seguido la dama
de cazorla desde las cuevas
de sacramonte a los tablaos
de sevilla.

cuando estamos sobre la escena,
estamos unirnos
y la mando con mi voz.
pero nuestro vínculo se levanta
junto con las luces de la casa.

…los hombres sabios dicen,
‘la suerte es una combinación
de los sueños y la muerte’
ha experimentado los últimos dos,
pero nunca ha encontrado el primero…

la colmo con canción
aunque yo anhelo
a la besuquear.
pero hace mucho tiempo,
dejé a derramar un mar de lagrimas
por mi empresa desesperada.
he aprendido a viví como
si querer fuera bastante.

…y cuando se encuentra
con san pedro en las puertas de cielo,
él contará
muchos detalles
pero pocos hechos.


before i saw her dance,
i never sang a note.
but when i saw her furrow her brow
and flutter her ankles,
my jowles quivered
with song.

from then on, i followed the lady
of cazorla from the caves
of sacramonte to the tablaos
of sevilla.

when we are on stage,
we are yoked together
and i command her with my voice.
but our bond lifts
along with the house lights.

…wise men say,
‘luck is a mixture
of dreams and death’
he has had his fair share of the last two,
but has never seen the first…

i shower her with song
when i yearn
to cover her with kisses.
but long ago,
i ceased to cry a sea of tears
for my forlorn hope.
i have learned to live as if
wanting is enough.

...and when he meets
st. peter at the pearly gates,
he will recount
many details
but few facts.
