Golondrina Presumida

Lyrics

De alla del mar vendras
Golondrina presumida
Golondira consentida
Preferida de este amor
De alla del mar vendras,
De alla del mar vendras,

Primero Dios, verdad de Dios
Seguro estoy mi amor
Que cuando llegues a mis playas
Las gaviotas de mi cielo
Con tristeza te diran que envejesi
Que envejesi
De tanto esperarte

La noche cubre ya
Mi triste vida
Y en cambio mi amor
Sigue buscandote en las noches
Y mis ojos en el dia

De alla del mar vendras
Tienes que regresar
Por que tu traes
Por que tu traes...
Por que tu traes mi vida

La noche cubre ya
Mi pobre vida
Y en cambio mi amor
Sigue buscandote en las noches
Y mis ojos en el dia,
De alla del mar vendras,
Tienes que regresar
Por que tu traes
Por que tu traes...
Por que tu traes mi vida

Composer(s)

Tomas Mendez Sosa
Tomas Mendez is best known for penning the Mexican standards Cucurrucucu Paloma and Paloma Negra. Working primarily in a Mariachi vein, Mendez was a fairly prolific composer, but achieved his greatest success with 1954's "Cucurrucucu Paloma," which was a smash hit for Lola Beltran and later recorded by countless others, including Julio Iglesias. (In the wake of the song's success, Beltran also starred in a film of the same name.) Beltran recorded numerous Mendez songs -- including his other all-time classic, "Paloma Negra" -- and was arguably his most sympathetic interpreter, but his compositions found favor with many; among his most prominent devotees were Pedro Infante, Vicente Fernández, Amalia Mendoza, and Javier Solís. Mendez also made recordings as a singer, but was always more noted for his writing abilities. Historia Musical de Tomas Mendez, a CD retrospective of some of the best interpretations of his material, was released in the mid-'90s.

Vicente Fernandez
Vicente Fernández (born Vicente Fernández Gómez on February 17, 1940) is a Mexican ranchera singer. He is the father of Alejandro Fernández, also a popular Mexican artist. Fernández's life could be described as a rags-to-riches story—having come from humble beginnings, he eventually established himself as a famous musician.

In his native Mexico, Vicente Fernández is hailed as the "king of the rancheras." He was born and raised in Huentitán el Alto, Jalisco, Mexico on February 17, 1940 to a poor family and had to work in his childhood to maintain himself. Fernandez worked as a shoeshine boy, a waiter and dishwasher. Later, he served as cashier and manager of his uncle's restaurant. During his youth he sung at a festival in Arandas, Jalisco. He was booed off the stage by the audience and vowed never to sing to the city again."

Vicente got his start when he won a Guadalajara singing contest. At age 21 he was in the show "La Calandria Musical" where he received his first payment for singing. He earned 35 pesos. He and his ranchera music have become most popular in Latin America and in Spain.

At 21, Fernandez decided to make his living by singing. Initially, he sang for tips at the Amanecer Tapatio, serenaded drivers who sat waiting to move in traffic, and continued with "La Calandria Musical." From there he went on to sing with some of Mexico's best-known mariachi groups, such as Amanecer de Pepe Mendoza and the Mariachi of Jose Luis Aguilar. It was through these groups that he met Felipe Arriaga.
