Today is June 1st, my Santo. It falls on a Friday, so I'm publishing this letra for all of the other Lauras out there:

Tarantos
Popular

De los laureles
dicen que te llamas Laura
Laura de nombre

por nombre Laura
si tú no eres de los laureles
que los laureles son firmes
y tú pa mi no lo eres
dicen que te llamas Laura
Laura de nombre

por nombre Laura

Of the laurels
They say you're called Laura
Laura by name

by the name of Laura
If you're not of the laurels
as the laurels are firm
and for me you're not
they say you're called Laura
Laura by name

by the name of Laura

You can read another version here.

Here are some pics of Claudia Cruz dancing tarantos last fall at Tablao Villa Rosa:
