Me Ha Dejao De Herencia | The Weekly Letra

Tangos
Traditional

Que me ha dejao de herencia
Que me ha dejao mi Papá
Un candelito y una mecha
Ay ay ay que alegría
sueño con él noche y día
y por veinte reales
vendo mi candelito
que es de mi pare

I’ve been left an inheritance
My father left me
a lantern and wick
what joy
I dream of him night and day
and for twenty coins
I’d sell my lantern
that belonged to my father

You can hear Juana la del Revuelo sing it here 25 seconds in.
