Sumi Jo sings 'La Rosa Y El Sauce (The Rose And The Willow)' composed by Carlos Guastavino in 1994.

==[Lyrics (Spanish)]==============

La Rosa Y El Sauce

La rosa se iba abriendo
Abrazada al sauce,
El arbol apasionada,
La amaba tanto!
Pero una nina coqueta
Se la ha robado,
Y el sauce desconsolado
Le esta llorando.

==[Lyrics (English)]===============

The Rose And The Willow

The rose was opening
cleaved to the willow.
The passionate tree
loved it so!
But a cheeky young girl
took it away,
and the disconsolate willow
laments it so.

Don't like the piano either, but her singing is very nice.

P.S: she makes a mistake with the lyrics. It's ¨el árbol apasionado¨ not ¨apasionada¨.

@violetavalery @toutouzim007 Opera singers are supposed to sing 'a' instead of 'o'. "o mio babbino caro".. They sing 'o mia' not 'o mio'. That proves them professionally trained.

@smoothiw you are wrong - they should always try and pronounce a or o correctly, it is extremely important - unless there is an excuse, ie extremely high, when sometime it is not possible. Who sings 'o mia' - never heard anything like it!

Que mal gusto de esta mujer! Por algo Guastavino la escribió como la escribió! Que feo que crea que puede hacer lo que quiere!

De todas las cantantes a quienes he escuchado esta canción, esta es la que me parece que más ha entendido su música. Aquí y allá hay algunas incoherencias en la dicción y en la letra, pero eso no opaca el resultado general. Ya sabemos lo difícil que es para los coreanos pronunciar la ciertas consonantes. Afinación impecable (un bien cada vez más escaso entre 'grandes' cantantes. Brava.

@smoothiw ok, but that open ¨o¨ should sound like an ¨o¨ and not an ¨a¨. As a matter of fact, when she says ¨rosa¨ it sounds ¨rosa¨ and not ¨rasa¨, so I would say she has made a mistake in the lyrics, but it's no big deal, she still sounds fine. BTW, I have enough professional training to tell the difference between an open ¨o¨ and a down and out ¨aaaaaaaa¨.
