EXVOTO DEDICADO A SANTA CECILIA

EX-VOTO TO SANTA CECILIA PAINTED ON TIN WITH THE FOLLOWING LEGEND:

La cantante de nuestro mariachi se enfermó y no sabíamos que hacer, así que nuestra violinista Lupita se ofreció a suplirla porque nos dijo que cantaba bien bonito y nos llevamos la sorpresa de que no era cierto, ya que en vez de cantar, gritaba como perro atropellado. Le damos las debidas gracias a Santa Cecilia de que nuestra cantante original ya se recuperó de salud, porque los días con Lupita fueron un martirio y teníamos miedo de que nos corrieran del restaurante donde tocamos. Mariachi "Sol de Tlaquepaque".

*****************************

Our mariachi singer fell ill, and we didn't know what to do. So, our violinist, Lupita, offered to fill in because she told us she sang beautifully. We were shocked to find out that wasn't true at all; instead of singing, she screamed like a dog that'd been hit by a car. We give thanks to Saint Cecilia that our original singer has recovered, because those days with Lupita were torture, and we were afraid we'd get kicked out of the restaurant where we played. Mariachi "Sol de Tlaquepaque".
