Here’s a very non conventional take on a very traditional letra by David Lagos.
It’s from his album, Hodierno.
Malagueñas
Cuando intenté de olvidarte
se me apareció la muerte

Here’s a letra we heard Jesús Méndez sing live here in Jerez last night.
Malagueña del Mellizo
Toda la nochecita me llevo
This is a rather depressing letra,
but I promise you’ll be moved to the core watching and listening to el Pericón de Cádiz sing it in the video below.

para olvidar yo tu querer
y me dijo que no lo había

Levántate.

Que se ha muerto nuestra madre
y nos quedamos solitos.

Malagueña de Chacón
Voy a dejar tu querer
por el hablar de la gente
pero ten por entendido
que me va a costar la muerte
el haberte conocido

because of what people say
but understand
that having known you
is going to cost me my life

I am in the province of Málaga, so I am thinking of malagueñas. which I love.
Apparently the original malagueñas had folkloric and rhythmic origins from here in Málaga. It would make sense to share one of those letras with you.
But I don't want to.
(Anyway, I posted a verdiales last week.)
Today I want to share this Malagueña del Mellizo with you.
It is said that Enrique el Mellizo's influence transformed malagueñas into the cante libre style we hear today. (He was not from Málaga.)
