Viernes con una Letra | Silencio (fandangos para bailar con Emilio)

Below, some fandangos from Pitingo's Soulería.  

We’ll be dancing to this with Emilio Ochando!

Silencio

Más quiero
hoy el fandango es mi alegría,
y es el cante que más quiero
se alegran las penas mías
con un fandango alegrego
Y al amanecer el día. 

Tú dices que me has querío
gitana del Sacromonte,
tú dices que me has querío
vas engañando a la gente. 
Dios sabe lo que he sufrío
me está costando la muerte

Silencio
no hay cosa que más me guste
que besarte en el silencio
y rozarte suavemente
y hablarte del pensamiento
sin que se entere la gente.

Silence

I love it more than anything today, 
The fandango is my joy, 
It is the song that I love most. 
My sorrows disappear
with a happy fandango
when day breaks. 

You say you have loved me  
Roma woman of Sacromonte, 
You say you have loved me
You deceive people. 
God knows how I have suffered 
This is costing me death.

Silence  
There is nothing I enjoy more
than kissing you in silence
and softly touching you
and talking to you about a thought
without anyone finding out.

So... you've heard me say it before, translating is a challenge.  Let me know if you have any thoughts.  And remember, if you want to be in the presence of a wonderful, fabulous flamenco active in the Madrid scene, you're in luck, because Emilio Ochando will be here in a week!
