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 ur attempt to transcribe a small part of the richness and subtleties of flamenco lyrics into English.
By Reyes Lázaro, Alyssa Bonilla and Guillermo Guillén.

"Tengo celos de las flores
Del espejo en que te miras
Del peine con que te peinas
Y del aire que respiras

Rosa María
Rosa María
Si tú me quisieras
Qué feliz sería"

"I am jealous of the flowers
The mirror that catches your eye
The comb you use to comb your hair
The very air you breathe and sigh

Rosa Maria
If only you loved me
I’d be so happy here"
