Viva la naranja entera

"Long live the whole orange"

Here's video of me practicing my soleá from Rafa with the music (!), and I posted the lyrics below for anyone interested...the lyrics to the bulerías are perfect for this Orange County girl.

And there are only going to be 6 of us dancing it in the show - 3 boys & 3 girls - and I'm the worst of the group (according to our grades) and I'm still going to kick ass, which means the others will really kick ass, so it should be good.

Here are the 2 letras for my Soleá and then the Bulerías it ends with:

Tu vienes vendiendo flores / You come selling flowers

Las tuyas son amarillos / Yours are yellow

Las mias de todos los colores / Mine are all the colors

Y aqui lo que convenia / And here it was proper

Que tu te fueras a tu casa / That you went to your house

Y yo me voy a la mia / And I'm going to mine

------- the bulerías ------------------------------------------

Ay Mamacita, comprame un pandero de esos de perrillas chicas

Oh Mommy, buy me a tambourine the cheap girls have

Compramelo que lo quiero ay que lo mando yo

Buy for me what I want because I demand it

Como si lo mandara el gobernador y me hago la illusion

Like if ordered by the governor and I'm excited by the proposal

Y viva, viva la media naranja, viva viva la naranja entera

And live, long live the half orange, live, long live the whole orange

Y ese nino tan bonito si su madre me lo diera

And this child is so pretty if his mother will give it to me

Ay toma nino esta naranja y ya vengo de Uterera

Oh take child this orange and I've come from Uterera

Y vengo vendiendo vino de Solera

And I come selling wine from Solera

Quietecito, tu no te levantes

stay still, don't get up

Yo voy a la plaza, vuelvo al instante

I'm going to the plaza, I'll return in an instant

Voy para la plaza, vuelvo al instante

I'm going to the plaza, I'll return in an instant
