Hooray! Tamales! We went to a yard sale and a lovely woman made them from scratch!

[Radio_Lady]

Her whole family was outside, assisting with the sale. We gave them $10 for kids' clothes and dollies and $2 for two tamales.

Then, in my rather loud and and non-fluent (!) Spanish, I broke out in song:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones."

Everybody applauded when I finished! Wow!

I'm going to try and learn the other lyrics, found on the Internet.

People are wonderful.

Thanks for reading this.

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

De la sierra, morena
cielito lindo vienen bajando
un par de ojitos negros
cielito lindo de contrabando

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo
junto a la boca, no se lo des a nadie
cielito lindo que a mi me toca

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones
