Luna que se quiebra
Sobre las tinieblas de mi soledad
Adónde vas?

Dime si esta noche tu te vas de ronda
Como ella se fue;
Con quién estás?

Dile que la quiero, dile que me muero
De tanto esperar
I que vuelva ya!

Que las rondas no son buenas
Que hacen daño, que dan pena
Que se acaban por llorar...

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
