A la media vuelta, le dije a una chata:
“Véngase conmigo que acá está la plata”.
¡Qué tristeza me ha de dar cuando te busque y no te halle,
Pa’ que salgas a bailar este son del pasacalle!
¡Qué tristeza me ha de dar cuando no traiga dinero,
Pa’ que salgas a bailar este son del callejero!

Upon turning around I said to a pug-nosed girl:
“Come with me, for I have money.”
How sad I become when I look for you and can’t find you,
So you can go out and dance the son of the street passerby!
How sad I become when I have no money,
So you can go out and dance the son of the street person!

This album can transport you to a fun place with Leon Bridges singing and Khruangbin supporting him with their fantastic music. I love everything about this vinyl and am so glad I got the lunar press! Thank you all so much! Michelle May

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
