Minera
Antonio Sánchez Pecino

Ay Dios mío
me van a hacer barrenero
de las minas de La Unión,
y entre to's mis compañeros
ay me van a regalar un farol
porque no tengo dinero.

Oh my Lord
they are going to make me a driller
in the mines of La Unión*
and all of my mates
they’re going to give me a lantern
for I have no money.

Watch Ivan Vargas, one of our teachers on the Flamenco Tour to Granada, dance to this letra por tarantos in the video below:

*La Unión is a region in Southern Spain known for its mining.

Listen to Camarón sing it here.
