this girl is singing el emigrante (the migrant*), one of my favourite coplas ever, by famous cantaor juanito valderrama ❤️‍🩹

juanito composed this song in 1948 to honour the thousands of spaniards that had been forced to flee and live in exile during and after the civil war. here are the translated lyrics that the girl is singing, i do recommend checking the full original song, it should be easy to find:

i have to make a rosary

with your ivory teeth

so i can kiss them

when i am far from you

over her divine bead**

made out of nardo*** and jasmine

i will pray for the protection

of her who is in san gil****

and goodbye my beloved spain

i bring you inside in my soul

even if i am a migrant

never in my life

will i ever forget you

------------------

*i know it's not the same word but it's similar enough, also i don't know if 'emigrant' is a word in english

** i don't know if i understood this verse correctly, but if i did it's referring to the beads of the rosary

*** nardos are a species of flowers :)

****for what i've gathered doing some research, the church of san gil is a famous one in sevilla, and he's referring here to the virgin mary, either our lady of la macarena or our lady of el carmen, one of them.

“If you walk by the forecourt,

the day of my entombent,

tell the earth to not eat

the braid of my hair”

Traditional copla galega, expressing the cultural importance of hair and more specifically long, strong braid / braids for Galizans.

[ intento de copla de arte mayor ]

«Me pierdo en su cielo de ojos infinitos. Hipnóticas luces, cautivan mi aliento. Se apresta el latido al ritmo del viento. Van cayendo sellos que acercan los hitos.

Despierto imagino prohibitivos ritos, antaño descritos detrás de la luna. Devorar sus labios sin piedad alguna, y en ellos versar olvidados mitos.»

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__gHGrrvNBI If I did Lola, I couldn't miss another great one from my country. In fact, for those who do not know her, they nicknamed her "The Greatest" because she had a unique voice. And whether you like it or not it was to recognize that masterful voice. I also wanted to bring her to my game to get a little out of the foreign culture (which I love) but to bring something from my country, from my land since she was also Andalusian. I hope you like it and whoever recognizes it an OLE !! Spanish: Si hice a Lola, no podía faltar otra grande de mi país. De hecho para quien no la conozca la apodaban "La mas Grande" porque tenia una voz inigualable. Y te guste o no era de reconocer esa voz magistral. También la he querido traer a mi juego para salir un poco de la cultura extranjera (que me encanta) pero traer algo de mi país, de mi tierra ya que también era Andaluza. Espero que os guste y quien la reconozca un OLE!! ------------------ Simstagram: @CelebSimsLife Dress: @sifixcc Hair: TRIX (edit) Earrings : feyona
