Bulerías
Traditional
Estoy por decir señores
Si al río yo me tirara
Saliera llena de flores
I’m about to say, gentlemen
If I jumped into the river
I’d come out covered in flowers
You can listen to La Paquera sing it here.
And, here, Manuela Sánchez La Piriñaca sings it the following way:
Estaba por decir señores
Si al río yo me tirara
Saliera llenita de flores
This variation only slightly changes the meaning, with her first line, “I was about to say,” rather than, “I am about to say.”
