@[esperanto41:7438] Is there an "edit" button for comments? My HTML got mangled here, but I could not delete it and start over; so then I tried to edit the page, and this comment ended up at the top, where I did not intend to put it. |

I am cross-posting my comments from: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/angelitos-negros-black-little-angels.html#comment-171131 The song is by Manuel Álvarez (Maciste), as adapted from a poem by Andrés Eloy Blanco. The original longer poem is here: http://www.cancioneros.com/nc/13547/0/angelitos-negros-andres-eloy-blanco-popular-venezolana The Maciste version is here: note its original punctuation: http://www.cancioneros.com/nc/4562/0/angelitos-negros-andres-eloy-blanco-manuel-alvarez-maciste (avoid the automatic translation!) An Eartha Kitt YouTube in English here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnPga2-sfkY — an amazing live performance. Her equally good Spanish version is also on YouTube with stills, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZVTjHpGybQ Also, an Esperanto Karaoke YouTube is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJE_AsQHmZ4 PS: For additional comments about this song, see http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858705529/ Update 2015-12-04: There is an even better Esperanto version by singer-translater Emmanuel Rovere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vg6blWZPjc There is also a YouTube of Eartha Kitt's 1953 version, with its [Spanish] lyrics included as subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTeY_FRLtUw A reading (by Antonio Rodriguez Muñoz) of the longer Andrés Eloy Blanco poem, with text-pages, is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfgZnXQmcL0 |
