Last week you read about how his love had arranged to see someone else at la Puerta de Toledo. And here is the next copla.
Sevillanas
Tradicional
II. Me decía que iba a misa, mare, y me engañaba
Y me engañaba
Me decía que iba a misa, mare, y me engañaba
Y me engañaba
Si no llevaba rosario, ni libro
¿Como rezaba?
En el mismo sitio
A la misma hora
Estaba rezando
Con otra persona
II. She told me she was going to mass, mother, and she deceived me
And she deceived me
She said she was going to mass, mother, and she deceived me
And she deceived me
If she didn't take a rosary or bible
How did she pray?
In the same place
At the same time
She was praying
With another person
And today in classes, we'll be dancing some sevillanas if you want to join in. I probably don't need to remind you that this is a recipe for fun. On Wednesday we warmed up with sevillanas in the advanced class,
And it was absolutely beautiful seeing each dancer's personal interpretation.
Remember, translating is not the easiest thing in the world for me to do. Should you come up with a different interpretation, or if you simply want to share your thoughts. (Using church as an excuse to see your amante, ay! That's bad.) You can leave a comment here.
Oh, and in case you're wondering
Por fín, I got all of Ricardo's plane tickets taken care of last night. (I'm not willing to say how many hours this has taken. Just. to. get. the. plane. tickets. And you know this has been in the works since October! We had some issues. Many had to do with Spain. Needing to wait for this and needing to wait for that. You know how that goes.) But, it's done! And the Immersion Schedule will be out tomorrow.
