Te quiero dijiste
Tomando mis manos
Entre tus manitas
De blanco marfil
Y sentí en mi pecho
Un fuerte latido
Después un suspiro
Y luego el chasquido
De un beso febril

Muñequita linda
De cabellos de oro
Dos dientes de perla
Labios de rubí
Dime si me quieres
Como yo te adoro
Si de mí te acuerdas
Como yo de ti

A veces escucho
Un eco divino
Que envuelto en la brisa
Parece decir
Sí te quiero mucho
Mucho mucho mucho
Tanto como entonces
Siempre hasta morir

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.
