Pu Shu - Bai Hua Lin (White Birch Tree Forest)

Reminiscent of an old Soviet song from fifty years ago, within The White Birch Forest, sound of Soviet musical instrumentation, including accordion and classical guitar, create an eerie, maudlin atmosphere.

This beautiful, sad song tells of a young couple who fall in love with each other in a snow-covered birch forest. Later the young man dies on a battle-field, but his disbelieving lover returns to the forest day after day, waiting for him to find his way back home.

Roberto Polisano - Malaguena salerosa

Maleguena Salerosa by Roberto Polisano. Another version apart from previously posted Chingon version.



Lyrics & translation below.

Lyrics

Que bonitos ojos tienes
Debajo de esas dos cejas
Debajo de esas dos cejas
Que bonitos ojos tienes.

Ellos me quieren mirar
Pero si tu no los dejas
Pero si tu no los dejas
Ni siquiera parpadear.

Malaguena salerosa
Besar tus labios quisiera
Besar tus labios quisiera.
Malaguena salerosa
Y decirte nina hermosa.

Que eres lin........da y hechicera,
Que eres linda y hechicera
Como el candor de una rosa.

Si por pobre me desprecias
Yo te concedo razon
Yo te concedo razon
Si por pobre me desprecias.

Yo no te ofrezco riquezas
Te ofrezco mi corazon
Te ofrezco mi corazon
A cambio de mi pobreza.

Malaguena salerosa
Besar tus labios quisiera
Besar tus labios quisiera.
Malaguena salerosa
Y decirte nina hermosa.

Que eres lin........da y hechicera,
Que eres linda y hechicera
Como el candor de una rosa.
Y decirte nina hermosa.

What pretty eyes you have,
Under those two eyebrows.
Under those two eyebrows,
What pretty eyes you have.

They want me to look
But if you don't leave them
But if you don't leave them
Not even to flash...

Rose leaves of Málaga
To kiss your wanted lips
To kiss your wanted lips
Rose leaves of Málaga
And telling you, beautiful girl...

That you are pretty and magical,
That you are pretty and magical,
As the innocence of a rose.

If in poverty you despise me,
I give you truth.
I give you truth,
If in poverty you despise me.

I do not offer you wealth (riches)
I offer you my heart.
I offer you my heart
In exchange for my poverty.

Rose leaves of Málaga
To kiss your wanted lips
To kiss your wanted lips
Rose leaves of Málaga
And telling you, beautiful girl...

That you are pretty and magical
That you are pretty and magical
As the innocence of a rose
And telling you, beautiful girl.
