Joselito Sings a Saeta, "Two eyes wish to behold you," From the film El Ruisenor, 1957.

The great Spanish child singer Joselito sings a saeta, which is a form of religious music particular to Spain. They are often sung during Holy Week in the South. They seem to have arisen originally as liturgical music dedicated to the recitation of psalms. They are often sung during processions of religious pilgrims, such as those who appear in this film clip. They are very emotional, as is the one in this scene, since the boy is imploring Jesus to restore the eyesight of his little friend, the girl who appears to the left, and who is blind. A very sentimental situation, to be sure, but very moving.
