Check out this alegrías by Patricia Guerrero from the 30th Nîmes Flamenco Festival;

Wow!

These are the letras she dances to:

Alegrías/Cantiñas
Traditional

De Sanlúcar al Puerto
hay un carril
que lo habían hecho las Mirris
de ir y venir

La Mirri chica
y la Mirri grande
estaban hechas
de azúcar cande

From Sanlúcar to El Puerto
there’s a path
that the Mirri sisters made
from coming and going

The younger Mirri sister,
and the older Mirri sister
were made of
rock candy

You can learn more about the meaning behind and origin of this one here at Horizonte Flamenco.
