La historia de un amor (a love story) was written in 1955 by Panamanian songwriter, Carlos Eleta Almaran. I think it probably has made the top 10 bolero list of all time (if there is such a thing). Lucho Gatica is Chileo, and has released more than 90 albums. When I was in my teens (once upon a time), he was young and handsome and very popular. Here's an English translation (the Spanish is at the end of the video):You're no longer by my side, my love And in my soul I have only loneliness If I can no longer see you Why did God make me love you? To make me suffer more? You were the reason for my existence. Adoring you, for me, was religion. In your kisses I've found The warmth that gave me The love and the passion. That's the story of a love. Which has no equal That made me understand All the good, all the bad That gave light to my life Then turned it off. Oh what a dark life! Without your love I will not live! That's the story of a love.
