Tangos
Traditional
Si el agua se va a los ríos
y los ríos se van a los mares
El pobre corazón mío
Detrás del tuyo se va
If water flows to the rivers
and rivers flow to the ocean
This poor heart of mine
Goes in search of yours
You can listen to Camarón sing it here.
Porrina de Badajoz sings it in the following way here:
El agua se va pa’ los ríos
El agua se va pa’ los mares
El pobre corazón mío
Detrás del tuyo se va
Once again, thank you, Emily, of Saffron Translations for your consultation and ideas on this difficult translation.
I took the photo above at Playa Valdelagrana a couple of years back on a free day during the Flamenco Tour to Jerez. I am anxiously awaiting the day that we can travel internationally again and resume the Flamenco Tours!
