Actually, this is one of my favorite songs! "The crybaby!" An absolute classic, done beautifully here, in a much more wistful mood than usual. Beautiful!

@EdmundStAustell Here I was afraid I was going to be chastised for departing from Georges Thill and his peers ;-) I'm not really familiar with other versions of this song but this one I like particularly. I'm glad you found it beautiful too!

@AlmaWinemiller The song is remarkable in many ways, including its very clever playfulness with words and rhymes: "Por cuanto mas que te quieras, llorona, que mas quieres, quieres mas," is just a wonderful line that is amost impossible to duplicate in English: "The more I love you, crybaby, the more you want me to love you all the more..." It's just a great song, top to bottom:)
