Chords for Marta Gomez sings " Cancion del naranjo seco" live at Joes Pub May 17, 2011

Cancion del Naranjo Seco is also one of my favorite poems by Lorca. _
And how simple it is, but how beautiful.
He says, he's speaking about a tree, an orange tree,
that has been cut by half _ by the wood cutter.
That's the name?
The person who cuts the tree.
_ _ _ And the tree is asking the man,
please cut all of it, even my shadow.
Because I cannot live, I cannot stand living
and seeing myself in half, without oranges and without my full shadow.
So just cut it all.
And I read it and I thought, how many times we feel that way.
We feel that we're living halfway, kind of half ourselves.
So I decided to also give it the rhythm of samba, of Argentinian samba.
