Tientos
El que diga que no siente

Here’s a bulerías letra and a video you’ll love of Encarna Anillo.
Mira sí te quiero yo,
que por ti sería capaz
de sufrir la Inquisición
Alegrías
Ni en lo que cobija el sol

que a ti te quiera
igual que yo
Alegrías de Córdoba
Le regalé flores y flores
y me abrió su jardín
ya sé que estos amores
nunca tendrán fin

Because two hundred bulerías letras won’t suffice, here’s one more for you.
This one’s used at the end of another letra as a coletilla.

As with any traditional flamenco song, this one is a collection of unrelated verses that Luis puts together to form a “song.”
