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.

El Regalo de Reyes #37 - Poetic Translations of Flamenco Letras ""Del querer al no querer" | Martinete
"Del querer al no querer
Hay un camino muy largo
Que todo el mundo lo recorre
Sin saber cómo ni cuándo"
We cherish then cease to cherish
In between there's a long journey
Everybody slides down this path
Whether we linger or hurry"
Miguel Poveda - Cante
