Los Californios: Sheet Music Transcriptions
Carmen Carmela is in Volume 1: 1999 Supplement ? 38 pages
?Original transcriptions and arrangements by Vykki Mende Gray of
pieces from the 18th and 19th century Spanish-speaking Californians,
many from the Edison wax cylinders recorded by Charles Fletcher
Lummis. Lead and harmony lines are included for most pieces, with
chord accompaniment indicated. Bound in comb bindings so they?ll stay
open, with plastic covers for improved durability, these
transcriptions finally make this music accessible and available for

Here are the lyrics for Carmen Carmela
Carmen Carmela
?Así cual mueren en occidente
Los tibios rayos del astro rey;
Así murieron mis ilusiones,
Así extinguiéndose va mi fe.
Carmen Carmela, luz de mis ojos,
Si luz no hubiera, habías de ser.
Hermoso faro de venturanza
Dulce esperanza, bello placer.
Perla preciosa de mis amores,
¿qué son las flores junto a ti?
Yo las contemplo una por una
Y no hay ninguna igual a ti.
Carmen Carmela, luz de mis ojos,
Si luz no hubiera, habías de ser.
Hermoso faro de venturanza
Dulce esperanza, bello placer.?
