Guzmán is the daughter of Mexican actress Silvia Pinal and Venezuelan-born Mexican rock and roll singer Enrique Guzmán. She is the half-sister of actresses Sylvia Pasquel and Viridiana Alatriste. Her niece Stephanie Salas is also a well known entertainer in Mexico.
After travelling with her mother's theatre troupe, Guzmán decided she wanted to focus on singing and recorded her début album Bye Mama in 1988, which yielded "La plaga", the first of many hits.
In 1990, Guzmán scored one of the biggest hits of her career, the song "Eternamente Bella" ("Eternally Beautiful"), which became a number one hit in Mexico and other Latin countries. The song is considered a classic by many Spanish rock fans.
In 1991 she released Flor de Papel. One of the album singles, "Hacer El Amor Con Otro", became a smash hit for Guzmán, not only in Latin America and México, but also in the U.S. The album was well received by critics and fans, and received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Latin Pop Album in 1992. The albums Libre and Enorme followed in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Her musical output in the late 1990s was often overshadowed by the many controversies she was involved in.
In 2002, Guzmán won her first Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album for Soy.
In 2006, she released Indeleble. The first single was Volverte a amar, which became one of her biggest hits in Mexico and hit the Top 10 in the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, peaking number #6 and number #1 in Hot Latin Pop Airplay chart. The album (which reached the #1 spot in Mexico) has been certified double-platinum and won two awards at the Premios Oye! 2006 (Mexico's most important music awards), including Best Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Female. She was also nominated for two Latin Grammy Awards for Best Rock Vocal Album Indeleble and Best Rock Song for "Volverte a amar".
Por Un Momento
Alejandra Guzmán Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hace tanto que esperaban encender una ilusión
Cuando supe que llegabas, me asome por el balcón
Puse flores en la entrada y pinte de azul mi corazón
Hoy vuelvo a sentir que soy para ti
Por eso
Quiero despertar y volverte amar, te ruego
Por una pausa al tiempo, quiero sentir tus besos
Déjame soñar que esto no tiene final
Vi la luna en la ventana y pedí en una oración
Que mi lado te quedaras hasta ver de nuevo el sol
Hoy vuelvo a sentir que soy para ti
Por eso
Solo por un momento me perderé en tu aliento
Quiero despertar y volverte amar, te ruego
Por una pausa al tiempo, quiero sentir tus besos
Déjame soñar que esto no tiene final
Solo por un momento me perderé en tu aliento
Quiero despertar y volverte amar, te ruego
Por una pausa al tiempo, quiero sentir tus besos
Déjame soñar que esto no tiene
Cuando supe que llegabas, me asome por el balcón
Puse flores en la entrada y pinte de azul mi corazón
The song "Por Un Momento" by Alejandra Guzman is about a person who has been waiting for an opportunity to kindle a new flame of love. The lyrics reflect her anticipation and excitement as she prepares herself for the arrival of her lover. She says that she is not feeling like herself because of how long she has been waiting for this moment. Finally, when he arrives, she is overjoyed, she decks her home with flowers, and paints her heart blue - a color that symbolizes loyalty, trust, and stability. She has complete faith in him and feels that she belongs to him. She requests a moment to become lost in his breath, wake up and love him again.
The lyrics of the song reveal the intensity of the passion between the lovers. She requests a break from time, so that she can keep feeling his kisses and be together with him endlessly. The imagery of the moon in this song represents the intimacy and vulnerability that they share with each other. She prays that he stays by her side until the next morning. She yearns for him to reciprocate her love, and for their love to go on forever. The song ends with her longing to dream that this moment never ends.
