Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I know I'm two days late, but I had a busy weekend, and so I'm posting my Cinco de Mayo post today for your enjoyment. It's not really Mexican either, but Fernando Obradors is probably one of the best Spanish song composers (IMHO). This little number is romantic and more than a little flirtatious. The translation is below the video, and take note of the piano accompaniment and how it mimics the sound of a classical guitar. Enjoy!


Translation: Of the softest hair, that you wear in braids, I will make a rope in order to draw you to my side./ A jug in your house, beloved, I wish to be, so that I may kiss your lips whenever you take a drink.
