"El Día Que Tú Te Cases" | Tango | Poetic Translations of Flamenco Letras - TRANSLATIÓN #85

Описание: Translating poetry is never easy. Flamenco letras can be deep, light, funny or tragic. They can take us to the bottom of despair or give us the strength to continue on the road of a sometimes absurd existence. There you will find anecdotes, advice, moral lessons, threats, praise or criticism, daily life episodes, and jokes. It is an unfathomable repertoire that it is important to understand if we really want to enter the fascinating universe of flamenco. Here is our attempt to transcribe a small part of the richness and subtleties of flamenco lyrics into English.
By Guillermo Guillén and Alyssa Bonilla for FlamencoMaps

Cante - Manuel Agujetas
Toque - Manolo Sanlúcar

El día que tú te cases
Que te pongan la corona
Y te echen por el cuerpo
Botecitos de colonia

On the day that you get married
May the crown be placed on your head
And gently over your body
May fragrant rosewater be spread
