"Una Pena Impertinente" | Cartagenera | Poetic Translations of Flamenco Letras - TRANSLATIÓN #105

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 our attempt to transcribe a small part of the richness and subtleties of flamenco lyrics into English.
