Friends of hive today I share a song by maestro Roberto Cantoral, one of the jewels of Latin American music. Mexico is one of the countries with the most composers of this genre, and most of the songs that marked the history of music in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s with groups such as Los Panchos, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, Agustín Lara, among others. I hope you like it and thank you for leaving your comment that will be highly appreciated.

Reloj no marques las horas, porque voy a enloquecer…

Clock do not mark the hours, because I am going to go crazy

¿Quién no conocer este hermoso bolero, llamado Reloj. obra de Roberto Cantoral?

Who does not know this beautiful bolero, called Reloj. work of Roberto Cantoral?

This song was born in 1956 and was premiered by Los Tres Caballeros, a trio made up of Cantoral, Chamin Correa and Leonel Gálvez, who was very famous for songs like La Barca, When I come back to your side, Ausencia and many more.

There is a version that Reloj was composed one night in which Roberto Cantoral was taking care of his wife, who was hospitalized for a serious illness, whose prognosis was not positive, so full of sadness, he took a pencil and paper and wrote those beautiful words, in which he practically begs for time to stop and thus conserve his beloved ... Nice, no?

But wait a moment, we have to tell you something in this tender moment ... The song Reloj, was not written by Roberto Cantoral, for his convalescent wife, but rather his muse was someone else.

The true story of this song places Los Tres Caballeros in Washington DC, after a very successful tour of American lands, during that tour, Cantoral had started a romance and well, it was time to return to Mexico, so things had to end.

That was why Roberto Cantoral, from cabanga because, his romance was ending, wrote the song that has conquered more than one person who is listening to us ... Curious, no? Hahaha. Not just curious, certainly enlightening. Well, the truth is that the song is very beautiful, that cannot be denied.

El reloj

Roberto Cantoral

Reloj no marques las horas
porque voy a enloquecer
ella se irá para siempre
cuando amanezca otra vez

Nomás nos queda esta noche
para vivir nuestro amor
y tu tic-tac me recuerda
mi irremediable dolor

Reloj detén tu camino
porque mi vida se apaga
ella es la estrella
que alumbra mi ser
yo sin su amor no soy nada

Detén el tiempo en tus manos
haz esta noche perpetua
para que nunca se vaya de mí
para que nunca amanezca

The watch

Roberto Cantoral

Clock do not mark the hours
because I'm going crazy
she will be gone forever
when it dawns again

We only have tonight
to live our love
and your tick-tock reminds me
my irremediable pain

Watch stop your way
because my life turns off
she is the star
that lights up my being
I am nothing without his love

Hold time in your hands
make this night perpetual
so that it never leaves me
so that it never dawns
