http://www.mariachi4u.com/lyrics/09162005n.html

Title:La MalagueñaBuy This Music Score
Composer/Artist:/Miguél Aceves Mejía
Style:Huapango

Que bonitos ojos tienes debajo de ésas dos cejas
Debajo de ésas dos cejas, que bonitos ojos tienes.
Ellos me quieren mirar pero si tú no los dejas
Pero si tú no los dejas ni siquiera parpadear.

Malagueña salerosa
Besar tus labios quisiera, besar tus labios quisiera. Malagueña salerosa, y decirte niña hermosa.
Que eres linda y hechicera,
Que eres linda y hechicera como el candor de una rosa.

Si por pobre me desprecias yo te concedo razon
Yo te concedo razon si por pobre me desprecias.
Yo no te ofrezco riquezas, te ofrezco mi corazón
Te ofrezco mi corazón a cámbio de mi pobreza.

Malagueña salerosa…

other optional verses:

Con tus ojos me anunciabas que me amabas tiernamente
Que me amabas tiernamente, con tus ojos me anunciabas.
Ingrata me traicionabas cuando de tí estaba ausente
Cuando de tí estaba ausente, de mi pasión te burlabas.

Malagueña salerosa…

The 1913 Winnipegs Hockey Team

The 1913 Winnipegs Hockey Team

Team/Hockey
Inducted 2004
The Winnipeg Senior League was formed for amateurs in 1908 with these charter members: Victorias, Capitols and the University of Manitoba. By the next year the Winnipegs had replaced the Capitols and in 1913 they finally defeated the Vics powerhouse. They are reported to have gone through the season undefeated and boasted several fine players including Ollie Turnbull (whom the Manitoba Junior Championship Trophy is named after) Jack Gannon, Jack Ruttan, Bert Andrews, Jack Aldous, Al Adamson, Bill McKenzie, Bill Currie and Jack Hughes. Hughes would go on to enjoy a fabulous coaching career as he led the Elmwood Millionaires to the Memorial Cup and the Winnipegs to the Allan Cup in 1931. The Winnipegs defended the cup twice at home in March, defeating both Moose Jaw (11 : 6-0 & 13 : 10-3) and Edmonton (15 : 9-6&17 : 9-2).
