“Historia de Un Amor” is among the most popular love songs produced in the last seventy-five years and is a classic of the romantic bolero music repertoire.
Composed by Panamanian Carlos Eleta Almaran (1918-2013) in 1955, and used for the soundtrack of the 1956 movie of the same title, “Historia de Un Amor” is a song inspired by the passing of his brother’s wife.
This bolero, both lyrically and musically, powerfully evokes the feelings of love, loss, and longing that are representative of the familiar themes of this genre of Latin music. As such, it has become one of the most universally recorded and performed songs, popular with generations of audiences throughout Latin America, Europe and Asia.
It is also in the soundtrack of a 1956 Mexican movie of the same name. The song tells of a man's suffering after his love has disappeared. It may be interpreted that love is a story for a woman but it's just an episode for a man.
It was sung or played by many artists like Julio Iglesias, Nana Mouskouri, Perez Prado, Laura Fygi, Iva Zanicchi, Eydie Gormé & Trio Los Panchos, Pedro Infante, Dalida, Ana Gabriel, Luis Miguel, Lili Boniche - Guadalupe Pineda - among others.
Ya no estás más a mi lado, corazón.
En el alma sólo tengo soledad.
Y si ya no puedo verte,
¿Por qué Dios me hizo quererte?
¿Para hacerme sufrir más?
Siempre fuiste la razón de mi existir.
Adorarte para mi fue religión.
Y en tus besos yo encontraba
El calor que me brindaba
El amor y la pasión.
Es la historia de un amor,
Como no hay otro igual.
Que me hizo comprender
Todo el bien, todo el mal.
Que le dio luz a mi vida,
Apagándola después.
¡Ay que vida tan oscura!,
¡Sin tu amor no viviré!
Es la historia de un amor.
