I missed Plácido Domingo´s 70th birthday a couple of weeks ago. But better late than never. Domingo is certainly the greatest living tenor in the world, and a very good conductor, too. And he does not let his age stop him from making wonderful music. "If I rest I rust" is his well chosen slogan. Long may he live!
Listen to a younger Domingo sing the popular tune Jurame. (I have heard Villazon do the same song, but Domingo´s version is better.)
The lyrics in English:
PROMISE ME
Promise me,
that although much time may pass
you'll never forget the moment
when I first met you.
Look at me,
'cause there's nothing more profound
nor bigger in this world
than the love I gave to you. Kiss me,
with a kiss so full of love
like no one has ever kissed me
since the day that I was born.
Love me,
love me until you feel the madness
and understand the bitter pain
that I am suffering for you.
They all say it's a lie that I love you
'cause they've never seen me so
in love
I swear to you that I don't know why
the look in your eyes has kept me
captive.
When you are near me
and I am happy
I wish that you'd remember no one else
I am jealous even of my thoughts
that may remind you
of another person you once loved.
Promise me
that although much time may pass
you will not forget the moment
when I first met you.
Look at me,
'cause there's nothing more profound
nor bigger in this world
than the love I gave to you.
Kiss me,
with a kiss so full of love
like no one has ever kissed me
since the day that I was born.
Love me,
love me until you feel the madness
and understand the bitter pain
that I am suffering for you...
and understand the bitter pain
that I am suffering for you
(CD "The Very Best of Plácido Domingo)
