Yo en mi vida negaré
que yo te quise con locura

Si tú piensas que me caigo
con un pie yo me mantengo
si tú tienes quien te quiera
también tengo quien por mi pase duquelas.

Below is the verse.
Followed by a video - possibly my favorite sevillanas ever - of Camarón singing it, with Tomatito and Joaquín Amador on guitar and Manuela Carrasco dancing.

Pa qué me llamas prima…

Qué bonita está Triana
Cuando le ponen al puente
Banderas republicanas
We've talked about how it is common to have different variations to the words of traditional flamenco letras.

Si quieres venirte, vente,

From Camarón
Una rosa pa tu pelo te voy a regalar
y cuando tú te vayas de mi vera
me tienes que recordar.
A rose for your hair I will give you
and when you leave my side
you will have to remember me.

El limón con la canela
la rosita con el jazmín
así me huelen tus carnes

I am in Córdoba. I like it here.
This evening we were taking a stroll, my nieces, my sister, and I.
Dando un paseo
That's something I like about Spain. Families and friends taking walks around the town together. It is normal. It happens every day. So many people out and about. Together.
We walked by jasmine
Lots of jasmine hanging down the wall.
El olor.
The smell.
And so, one of my favorite tangos, from Camarón along with a video ...

Luis de la Pica
Miro a la luna y veo que soy de ti
Miro mis manos y pienso que me voy a morir
A veces me paro,
y me da escalofríos en pensar en mí.

An estribillo, a letra and a video of Luis de La Pica.
I first heard this estribillo, his letras, and heard of Luis de la Pica, when listening to Marina Heredia. That whole song on as she does it still gets me.
These melodies will always get me ...
And these words ...

Me pongo a cantar y no puedo
la garganta no me ayuda
tengo que tomar zumito
de la naranja moruna
I go to sing and I can't
My throat doesn't help me
I have to drink the juice
of the Moorish orange

Here’s La Paquera singing bulerías and one of the letras you hear
En un cuartito los dos
veneno que tú tomaras…
On the wall of her studio Mercedes has a photo of herself with Marco Flores when they were young. I wish you could see it. In the interview that follows Marco mentions how they danced together when they were starting out. They still do.
You'll also find out about how Marco grew up with flamenco in his family, how he began his career, and about his process of creation. He even shares some direct tips for us as students, though bits of advice can be found in all of his responses.
I originally posted it in 2011 and repost it today after watching snippets of his latest espectáculo from the 2014 Jerez Festival. Oh how I want to see that show! Further down you'll see a video of him dancing solo por siguiriyas.

Here's an interpretation from Miguel Poveda of the popular Bulerías de Cádiz reflecting upon the current-day situation in Spain. Scroll down for an out-of-control amazing video of a live performance, ¡que compás y gracia! with José Quevedo, Diego del Morao, El Londro, Luis Cantarote, and my (not real) boyfriend's real brother, Carlos Grilo.
Bulerías de Cai
¡Qué disparate!
Con el caray, caray, caray,
éstas son las cosas que pasan en Cai,
que ni la hambre la vamos a sentir,
que mire usted que gracia tiene este país.
