Ready to deconstruct a bulerías pataíta with me?
Watch Luisa La Margara dance at the end of the video below.
(And if you thought you were too old to dance flamenco, think again.)
Soleá
Traditional
Cualquiera que tiene pena
se le conoce en la cara
y a mí me ahogan las mias
y nadie me las pinchará*
Here's a coletilla along with a video you'll love of Pastora Galván.
Ay que te quiero
pero de lachi no te lo peno
Today, as promised, a mirabrás and a video of Juan Valderrama.
Mirabrás
(Popular)
Venga usted a mi puesto Hermosa,
y no se ponga usted salero
castañas de Galarosa
yo vendo camuesas y peros
Ay Marina,
yo traigo naranjas
y son de la China
batatitas borondas*
melocotones de Ronda
agua de la nevería
suspiritos de canela
