I don't think any vocal line I have ever heard comes close to the beauty of the one in this piece.

Let me correct you: In English(a diferencia del espanol, se empieza con mayuscula) that means: Do not speak wrongly of what you(si pones el pron. relativo al principio es para pregutar) do not know. (teclado ingles=no acentos)
