Leilía

While I´m cleaning the house for an impending visit from my dear friend J, I thought I would share.

Leilía is a folk group of Galician women. I picked up their CD ¨Madama¨ at FNAC without knowing what it was and it turns out I LOVE it!

See if you agree.



O meu amor

O meu amor se ti fores
lévame podendo ser
eu teño de ir a cabar
onde ti fores morrer

Eu hei de morrer cantando
xa que chorando nacín
as marabillas do mundo
acabaron para min

O meu amor se ti fores
lévame pudendo ser
eu teño de ir a cabare
onde ti fores morrer

Loosely translated:

Oh My Love

Oh my love if you go
take me with you if you can
I have to end
where you go to die

I will die singing
because I was born crying
the world's wonders
have ended for me

Oh my love if you go
take me with you if you can
I have to end
where you go to die

I´m showing my age - but it reminds me of the Le Mystere des voix Bulgares from the 90´s.
