Cuatro Caminos

Lyrics

Es imposible que yo te olvide,
es imposible que yo me vaya,
por donde quiera que voy te miro
ando con otra y por ti suspiro.

Es imposible que todo acabe,
yo sin tus besos me arranco el alma
si ando en mi juicio no estoy contento,
si ando borracho pa' qué te cuento.

Cuatro caminos hay en mi vida,
¿cuál de los cuatro será el mejor?
Tú que me viste llorar de angustia
dime paloma, ¿por cuál me voy?

Tú me juraste que amor del bueno
sólo en tus brazos lo encontraría,
ya no te acuerdas cuando dijiste
que yo era tuyo y que tú eras mía.

Si es que te marchas, paloma blanca
alza tu vuelo poquito a poco,
llévate mi alma bajo tus alas
y dime adiós a pesar de todo.

Miguel Aceves Mejía, or "the King of the falsetto" as he was popularly known, was born in Ciudad Juárez in the state of Chihuahua.

Jose Alfredo Jimenez
José Alfredo Jiménez (born January 9, 1926 in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, died November 23, 1973 in Mexico City, Mexico) was a Mexican singer-songwriter in the ranchera style.

His songs are considered part of the Mexican musical heritage and comparable, for instance, to what Woody Guthrie meant to American folk music.

He had no musical training—according to the singer Miguel Aceves Mejía, Jiménez didn't play an instrument and didn't even know the Spanish terms for "waltz" and "key". Nonetheless he composed more than 1000 songs. Among the most famous are Ella, Media Vuelta, El Rey, El Jinete, Si Nos Dejan, Amanecí Entre Tus Brazos, Cuando el Destino, El Caballo Blanco, Llegó Borracho el Borracho and Que Te Vaya Bonito, as well as Camino de Guanajuato, where he sang about his home state of Guanajuato as well as his home town of Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato.

In addition to his own hit recordings, many of his songs have been recorded successfully by recording artists around the Spanish-speaking world, most notably by Pedro Infante, Rocío Durcal, Javier Solís, Pedro Fernández, Jorge Negrete, Vikki Carr, Luis Miguel, Lola Beltrán, Lucha Villa, Vicente Fernández and by spaniards Joaquín Sabina and Manolo García.
