I'd Give My Life For You | The Weekly Letra

Here’s video of Zorri that you’ll love and a letra por bulerías.

Bulerías
Traditional

Entro y te veo
enaguas blancas
y en zagalejo

Por usted doy la vida
pa que te vengas
a la vera mía

I come in and I see you
white petticoats
and in your underskirt

For you I’d give my life
so that you would be with me

I took this video a few years ago on the Flamenco Tour to Jerez when ⁣Zorri and our group went to see Harumi Hata & Kim Macedo dance at El Guitarrón. Here Momo Moneo sings for him during the fin de fiesta. Can you feel all the smiles in the room?⁣ ¡Olé! Be sure to check out Zorri’s jumprope move at the end.

You can also hear this one here in Carlos Saura’s Flamenco, about four minutes fifteen seconds in.

Update…

I spoke with Zorri on the phone last night, April 2nd, 2020, and you will be happy to know that he is doing well during this Coronavirus pandemic! He is in his home in Jerez, and his family is taking care of him, bringing him food and meals (just like they always do).

Can you guess the one thing that’s different about him right now? Okay, I’ll tell you. He hasn’t had a haircut for at least twenty days nor is he shaving regularly. We had a good laugh about that. His current look is what you see in the picture. LOL.

What’s your favorite Zorri move?

Either from this video or another one. Let me know in the comments below!

By the way, you can also hear this letra in the bulerías scene from Carlos Saura’s, Flamenco, here.
