I’ve been swimming in bulerías as of late.
Virtually, right here in Portland. Between the bulerías classes I’ve been taking with Concha Jareño (LOVE), my bulerías classes and preparing for them, and listening to bulerías, this palo has been front and center, and I’ve been loving that.
Here is a letra and a video I’m figuring you’ll want to watch over and over again.
Bulerías
Traditional
No quisiera que te fueras
tampoco que te quedaras
ni que me dejaras solo
ni que de mi te acordaras
I don’t want for you to go
nor for you to stay
nor for you to leave me all alone
nor for you to remember me
You can hear Rancapino Chico sing this at 3:35 in the video below. (Though you’ll definitely want to watch the whole thing.)
The trickiest line to get is usually the last one. I verified the words to the last line of this letra here.
