Star | The Weekly Letra

Here’s a verse from Enrique Morente’s Estrella along with a few different versions for you to listen to.

From “Estrella”
Enrique Morente

Si yo encontrara la estrella que me guiara
Yo la metería muy dentro de pecho y la venerara
Si encontrara la estrella que en el camino me alumbrara

From “Star”
Enrique Morente

If I were to find the star that could guide me
I would place it deep in my chest and honor it
If I were to find the star that would light my way

And here’s Estrella Morente singing it live in 2020:

You can watch and listen to a little Luis Ortega’s interpretation here.

And here’s the original version.

I love them ALL!
