Que Bonito Amor

Lyrics

Qué bonito amor,
Qué bonito cielo,
Qué bonita luna,
Qué bonito sol.

Qué bonito amor
Yo lo quiero mucho,
Porque siente todo
Lo que siento yo.

Ven juntito a mí
Quiero que tus manos
Me hagan mil caricias,
Quiero estar en ti.

Dame más amor
(Dame más amor)
Pero más y más
(Pero más y más)
Quiero que me beses
Como tú me besas
Y después te vas.

Yo comprendo
Que mi alma en la vida
No tiene derecho
De quererte tanto.

Pero siento
Que tu alma me grita,
Me pide cariño
Y nomás no me aguanto.

Qué bonito amor,
Qué bonito cielo,
Qué bonita luna,
Qué bonito sol.

Si algo en mí cambio
(Si algo en mi cambio)
Te lo debo a ti
(Te lo debo a ti)
Porque aquel cariño
Que quisieron tantos
Me lo diste a mí.

Qué bonito amor.

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.

As with her music, Lucha Villa specialized in rural and ranchera pictures, a genre especially connected to American audiences familiar with Westerns.

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.
