Spanish film director, Carlos Saura, has passed away.
Below watch Pepa Flores sing the following letra accompanied by Paco de Lucía, in his award winning film, Carmen.
(You’ll also see Antonio Gades and Cristina Hoyos dancing.)
Tangos
Deja de llorar
No llores más
Deja de llorar
No sufras más.
Stop your crying
No more crying
Stop your crying
No more suffering.

May he rest in peace.
Translation note:
I originally translated the letra to:
Stop crying
Don’t cry anymore.
Stop crying
Don’t keep suffering.
But that felt too literal. Translating these letras continues to challenge me. I welcome your suggestions.
