Below find another version of this letra interpreted by Platero de Alcalá.
Wow!
Me voy pa’l castillo
a ver si me echan las cartas,
Alegrías de Córdoba
Le regalé flores y flores
y me abrió su jardín
ya sé que estos amores
nunca tendrán fin
Alegrías de Córdoba
La única que me quiere
es mi Carmela
Unas veces me da dolor
y otras me ahoga la pena
Watch and listen to Montse Cortés por alegrías in today’s video.
Here’s one of the letras she sings…
Alegrías de Córdoba
Me voy pa’ los callejones
a ver si me echan las cartas…
You will LOVE today’s clip of Luis Ortega singing alegrías de Córdoba on Tierra de Talento at just thirteen years of age!
And once again, seeing and hearing the judges reactions is almost as satisfying as watching and listening to this little guy sing.
A couple of years back on the Flamenco Tour to Jerez we saw Niño de la Fragua perform at Peña Flamenca Buena Gente. You can see video of an alegrías he performed at the show and a letra that he sang
Below you can watch Curro de Utrera singing today's letra along with a couple of clips from our private workshop with Mercedes Ruíz during the last Flamenco Tour to Jerez.

ella tiene un cortijo

We spent just two days in Córdoba on the last trip.
Two days to see the city and one night to see Estrella Morente perform. I'll tell you about that on Friday.
The first visit was in 1998, the first time I went to Spain.
I went there after my sister left.
I went there by myself.
Last night we were doing palmas with Pedro.
It's something we do when we come to Jerez.
Naturally people had many questions
and requests.
Someone asked to do some palmas por alegrías
... since we'd been dancing alegrías with Mercedes.
Pedro talked about las alegrías de Córdoba. He mentioned the letra about the platero.
