Product Description
"So el olivar" [Beneath the Olive Tree] is a lament, describing a dark little girl weeping
under the olive tree, mourning her dead friend; which made the branches
tremble. Haunting and poignant.
Lyrics/Translation:
Gritos daba la morenica, so el olivar, que las ramas hace temblar!
La niña, cuerpo garrido, morenica, cuerpo garrido,
Lloraba su muerto amigo, so el olivar!
Que las ramas hace temblar!
Translation: Sobs she uttered, the dark little girl under the olive tree, that made the branches tremble.
The little girl, frail in body, dark, frail little girl,
Wept for her dead friend under the olive tree,
and made the branches tremble!
--from Ballads of the Cancioneros
