Flamenco Quote of the Day

It makes no difference to me
if you pass by my door
without speaking.
Your salutations will neither
feed me nor quench my thirst.

Que me importa a mi que pases
por mi puerta y no me hables,
si yo no como ni bebo
con los buenos dias de 'naide'.

Flamenco Quote of the Day

One moonlit night
I sang a song to you,
and the stars in the
heavens began to
weep from joy.

En una noche de luna
una cancion te cantaba,
y las estrellas del cielo
de felicidad lloraban.

Flamenco Quote of the Day

The sun told the moon,
"go home little tramp,
what is a single woman doing
out at six in the morning?"

El sol le dijo a la luna,
"apartate bandolera,
que a las seis de la mañana
que hace una mujer soltera?"

Flamenco Quote of the Day

"I need to dance - it's my life therapy. I'd rather God graced me with a gentle death while dancing; that would be perfect."

"Necesito bailar como terapia para vivir. Preferiría que el Señor me tuviera deparado una muerte tranquila bailando, sería ideal."

Flamenco Quote of the Day

I don't know
what kind of spell
your bottom has over me.
When I look at you
it is as if you have
given me opium.

Mas no se que
gracia tienen
tus traseras,
Que te miro y me parece
que das adormideras.

Flamenco Quote of the Day

Its lyrics speak of forbidden desires and its spontaneity makes audiences weep; when fiesta was banned under Franco, flamenco dancers were considered sexually loose...and even now many gypsy girls are not allowed to perform in public.
