Only Yours | Viernes con una Letra

Another tientos today.

Why?

Because we've been dancing tientos with Mercedes here in Jerez, and this is the letra that she has been singing to us.

Tientos

Yo no tenía puertecita en que llamar 
yo no tenía ná más que la tuya 
y me la encuentro claveteá

I had no door to knock on 
I had none other than yours 
and I found it nailed shut

Here's another interpretation of this letra by Fernanda de Utrera.

UPDATE: You can see a snippet of that very class here.
