Alegrías
Ni en lo que cobija el sol
tú encontrarás un flamenquito
que a ti te quiera
igual que yo
You are going to LOVE today’s video of Chano Lobato.
It begins in the dressing room where he sings alegrías accompanied by his musicians. It then follows them out to the performance itself…
Soleá apolá
Todo el mundo le pide a Dios
la salud y la libertad
y yo le pido la muerte
no me la quiere mandar
The whole world asks God
for health and freedom
And I ask for death
He doesn't want to send it to me
