Malagueña

Three years ago, I studied both Spanish language and Singing at the same time, so eventually I used to visit the library at Instituto Cervantes for some music and I developped a crush on Plácido Domingo. He's a tenor (and one of the Three Tenors, and my favourite too!)

This song I'm sharing here is my favourite from his album "Entre Dos Mundos" (Between two worlds). Malagueña means a Spanish woman from Málaga in Spain, you can find the lyrics here, it's in Spanish and it's mostly a love song where he says he's dying from pain because he loves her and that he prefers to die rather than live without her love (that's mostly what there is).

What made me love the song actually was that I've been looking for it's music for so long after I saw Lorkiana Ballet and I couldn't find it anywhere. This is what Wikipedia says about it.  And, there it is.. Malagueña de ojos negros .. Malagueña with black eyes.. Malagueña de mis sueños.. Malagueña of my dreams :))
