Impressive as usual, Bob. I sang a bit of it and it works.
My only nit is the first line of the chorus, which is such a famous line, I don't know how it could be handled to everyone's satisfaction. For me it felt, as Martin put it, not as natural as the rest. "Canta y no llores" is so direct that any adornments for melody's sake seem to weaken it a bit. But, the chorus sounded good when I sang it to the melody, so it is more on paper that there is anything nit-worthy.
I was thinking of giving this a go, especially since the original is a fav song, but I couldn't come close to this in such a short time. Nicely done.
