Song of the african princesses
the ladies cry,
because the king of that land / is dying of nostalgia.
The king had three daughters,
as clear as water,
as beautiful as a clear day
just when the sun comes up.
One day, at midnight,
the evil fairy,
nobody knows how it was
that she entered the chamber,
and turned the princesses,
as beautiful as mother-of-pearl,
into three poisonous snakes
of ugly appearance.
The whole court cried,
day after day,
and the king promised jewels
of gold and silver
to whoever broke the spell
of that fairy
and would return his daughters
to their human form.
Wise men came from afar,
all of them looked at them...
None of them knew how to break the spell.
The witch had said it
in the early morning:
There is only one remedy,
which is to love them.
Three young men must come
alone or in a group
and kiss them lovingly
on the forehead.

El jueves 14 de marzo Mayte Martín presentó en el Teatro de la Maestranza de Sevilla su nuevo espectáculo: Tatuajes. Se trata de una colección de joyas de grandes autores universales llevados magistralmente al territorio particular de la artista. Con este concierto y con el disco que lleva el mismo nombre, rinde homenaje a la canción de autor más global, a la que traspasa fronteras y conforma una parte primordial de la memoria sentimental de diferentes generaciones.
