Soleá de Triana
Traditional

Ay se murió
y mi pañuelo yo se lo eché a la cara
pa’ que no tragara tierra
ay boquita que yo besara

She died
and I lay my handkerchief over her face
to prevent the mouth I kissed
from swallowing dirt

You can hear David Lagos sing this letra at about 1:30 in the video below:
