Nothing lived, nothing grew till I loved you
Every sky ever gray, never blue
Con tu amistad, bondad
Seguido yo pensaba
Que quizás mi esperanza eras tú

I was lost, I was blind till I loved you
Wouldn't see, couldn't find someone new, someone new
Eras mi amigo, fiel amigo
Quien siempre yo he querido
Pero no pensé perder mi corazón

Until that certain moment when I loved you

Mi vida no tuvo alegría hasta verte ese día
Mi amor no nació hasta que tu cariño surgió

Not a bird (ni una flor)
In the spring (floreció)
'Til I loved you
Not a dream (ni un deseo)
(Ni afán se cumplió) or a prayer could come true

Hasta el instante (until that curtain)
Que al verte (lifted)
Sonriente (parted)
Dijiste (drifted)
Te quiero a ti (from you)

Hasta en el mismo día when I loved you

Hasta en el mismo (until that certain)
Día (that certain moment)
Mismo (certain)
Día (moment)
En que te amé
When I loved you

Plácido Domingo

Plácido Domingo (born 21 January 1941, Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish singer, conductor and opera administrator whose resonant and powerful tenor voice made him one of the most popular tenors of his time.

Domingo’s parents were noted performers in zarzuela, a form of Spanish light opera. The family moved to Mexico when he was eight. He studied piano and conducting at the National Conservatory of Music, but he changed the emphasis of his studies when his rich vocal ability was revealed. In 1961 he made his operatic debut in Mexico City and then went to Dallas to perform in its opera company. From 1962 to 1965 he was a resident performer at Tel Aviv’s Hebrew National Opera. He made his debut at the New York City Opera in 1965, at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City in 1968 (subsequently becoming a regular performer there) and at Milan’s La Scala in 1969.

With Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras, he performed around the world as one of the “Three Tenors,” exposing millions of people to the operatic repertoire.
