More to the point, for writing that melody for Calexico's lap steel and horn section, which seem to turn this song into something epic. To me that is what this song is about, that melody. I'm not so interested in Calexico's translation (but I wonder why not translate the title too?) and I think the lyrics are better suited for F's voice, which is probably why they did that concert. So, I won't be (fully) satisfied 'til I hear Calexico back her up (or another woman (Spanish?)) for the full song.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for pulling this nice post together!Flipsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983978215194067317noreply@blogger.com
