ptmikulski -> camaron 69 - 77 letras? (Apr. 26 2013 1:22:53)

I don't post much at all, but I do visit a lot, so thanks to everyone who is experienced and active. I play most for a kind of meditative enjoyment, and while I practice somewhat I can't for the life of me imagine being able to fire off modern rasgueos! I content myself for letting thumb my thumb run free with the sloppy pma thing, at least I can control the speed and dynamic with this.
I've been listening predominantly to flamenco for a few years and while there are many albums that I enjoy, by far the standouts are the Camaron PdL albums from 69-77 and the flamenco vivo series with Moraito accompanying, I imagine that is a pretty common sentiment.
I think I would enjoy at times sitting down to the Camaron albums and listening carefully with letras to follow along with. Does anyone know of a collected listing of letras for each album? I can't seem to find a systematic listing by album.
Note that I don't know any spanish, though I would like to dive in, I don't know what approach to take considering my main interest is flamenco and my life is such that I won't be hopping on a plane to Spain. So while my main interest is just the letras so I can follow along to the sounds, translations would be nice but not necessary. My musical friends poke fun at me because I always seem more interested in sounds than in song and lyric. In fact, this is what attracts me most to flamenco cante, the music sends me into this realm beyond where the specific lyric is not needed (granted, it is not my culture, so what I am appreciating is limited, but flamenco makes the super short list of what I think of as transcendent). I haven't found much else to compare besides the afro sambas of Baden Powell, maybe certain blues and selected Hendrix, sometimes Chopin, Japanese Shakuhachi, some Indian classical music as well, also oud, ok well that is a lot. I guess it is now obvious I've been drinking a bit tonight, so I will now stop my rambling.
Thanks for any feedback.
