Flamenco Quote of the Day

If you are my pretty friend,
why won't you look at me?
The eyes I looked at you with
I have given to the dark.
If you are my pretty friend,
why won't you kiss me?
The lips I kissed you with
I have given to the earth.
If you are my pretty friend,
why won't you hold me tight?
The arms I embraced you with
are covered now in worms.

Si tu eres mi linda amiga,
como no me miras, di?
Ojos con que te miraba
a la sombra se los di.
Si tu eres mi linda amiga,
como no me besas, di?
Labios con que te besaba
a la tierra se los di.
Si tu eres mi linda amiga,
como no me abrazas, di?
Brazos con que te abrazaba
de gusanos los cubri.
