A Que Horas Sales A Las Tortillas

Published:

Description

As I was growing up, my grandmother would often tell me stories about her time in Mexico. She would tell me that, back then, dating was very different. Women were not allowed to go out except for two reasons: going for grocery shopping or to church. Therefore, when a man was interested on a woman, they would usually wait for them outside of church. "A qué horas sales por las tortillas?" translates to "At what time do you go out for tortillas?" making reference to the difficulty of men to approach women. For this reason, in this drawing I illustrate a couple of a woman wearing the traditional "china poblana" dressing while men wears their "vaquero" dress style.

"Muchachita pueblerina, te diré que me fascinas 
Tu mirada, tu sonrisa, tu boquita tan divina 
De mirarte la cintura y de pensar en tu hermosura 
Se agiganta mi locura 

"Muchachita pueblerina, una potranquilla fina 
No supera ni siquiera, la cadencia de tú paso 
Yo no pierdo la esperanza de acariciarte esa trenza 
Y de llevarte de mí brazo 

Te voy a esperar el domingo, y ahí cuando salgas de misa 
Te voy a decir que te quiero, que te quiero, 
Me trae loco, tu sonrisa 
Te voy a llevar unas flores, te confesare mis amores 
Y voy a llenarme de gozo, si tú aceptas darme un beso
Y que nos cubra tú rebozo"
- Joan Sebastian, "Muchachita pueblerina"
