This is the "remastered" version, a little more suited for listening than the AM transistor radio quality of the original.
Mocedades, "Eres Tu"

Only click if you dare. Think I've done over 20 loops of this at a time. I've written out my own poetic translation. It's one of the most beautiful songs I know.
Iceblossum, I think every song you named I know and have stuck in my head on occasion, lol. I'm glad to have your solution of writing out the lyrics. Lately I've been getting songs from the Blues Brothers movie stuck in my head. "She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride."
I remember my mom singing Mairzie Doats to me, and then explaining the lyrics. Good memories.
