Ready to watch the most elegant sevillanas you may ever see?
From Sevillanas de Triana
Cuando paso por el puente, Triana, contigo, vida mía
Cuando paso por el puente, Triana
Contigo vida mía, Triana, contigo vida mía
Con mirarte solamente, Triana, me muero de alegría
You're going to LOVE the video below of the Makarines performing sevillanas live. The third copla they sing is an excerpt from this sevillanas and it has to do with the Rocío pilgrimage. Here it is:
Sevillanas (De: Porque El Relente Le Daba)
José Miguel Évora/Isidro Muñoz*
Porque el relente le daba
Le puse mi chaquetilla
Le puse mi chaquetilla

So, here you go.

A La Puerta de Toledo
Tradicional
A la Puerta de Toledo, madre, le tengo celos
Le tengo celos
A la Puerta de Toledo, madre, le tengo celos
Le tengo celos
Porque se cita con otro
La mujer que yo más quiero
En el mismo sitio
A la misma hora
Se estaba besando
Con otra persona
