No Me Amenaces

Lyrics

*Note that the version by Jose Alfredo Jimenez varies slightly from most other versions.

No me amenaces
No me amenaces
Si ya estas decidida
A buscar otra vida
Pos agarra tu rumbo y vete

Pero no me amenaces
No me amenaces
Ya estás grandecita
Ya entiendes la vida
Ya sabes lo que haces

CORO
Porque estás
Que te vas
Y te vas
Y te vas
Y te vas
Y te vas
Y te vas
Y no te has ido
Y yo estoy esperando tu amor (Y me tienes tu aqui)
Esperando tu amor
Esperando tu amor
Esperando tu amor
O esperando tu olvido

No me amenaces
No me amenaces
Si ya fue tu destino
Olvidar mi cariño (Buscar otro cariño)
Pos agarra tu rumbo y vete

Pero no me amenaces
No me amenaces
Ya juega tu suerte
Ahi traes la baraja
Pero yo tengo las ases

(REPITE CORO)

Composer(s)

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.

Performer(s)

Ana Gabriel
With a beautiful voice and the most tortured vocals in Latin music, Ana Gabriel has scored near the top of charts quite consistently since her debut in the mid-'80s. Often composing and producing her own work, Gabriel stayed on Sony/CBS throughout her career.

Lucha Villa
As with her music, Lucha Villa specialized in rural and ranchera pictures, a genre especially connected to American audiences familiar with Westerns. During the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, she recorded dozens of albums and appeared in dozens of pictures, including the 1973 screwball comedy Mecánica Nacional, which won the Ariel award (Mexico's version of the Oscar). She also recorded songbook tributes to Jiménez and Juan Gabriel, and was saluted herself by Gabriel for his 1996 Las Tres Señoras (with Lola Beltran and Amalia Mendoza). Villa continued performing even after suffering a heart attack during surgery in 1997.
