La Soleá is a Palo Grande del Flamenco with many variants depending on where they come from and the development that each artist has wanted to instill: it happens like other songs, of different branches, as Juan explained with the fandango, although it is this case, in case difficulty and accompaniment of dance and guitar, the variants are more extensive and sometimes difficult to distinguish.

“I close my eyes and see you,
I go to bed and dream of you…
I slept and dreamed of you;
you look at me and you talk to me and I love you, punishment.
I’d like to ask!
… if when you kiss me it’s green.
And your mother loves you, she loves mine,
And mine loves me, mine wants me;
He loves you at night, me, night and day.
