She sang in public for the first time in a radio contest at the age of ten. She didn't win that year, but won the next year. Her early singing caught the attention of a movie producer who introduced her to the cinema audiences as "Ana Belen" in the movie "Zampo y Yo" when she was thirteen.
Ana didn't want to become a child-star and focused on her studying. It wasn't until she finished drama school that she went back performing in public, being theater her prefered way to do so. She did small incursions in movies till she was offered major parts.
In 1973 she was cast opposite Víctor Manuel in Morbo and he became her husband as well as the composer of the songs included in her first album. In 1982 she released "Ana en Rio", an album with Brazilian music that included the song "Balance" and became an instant hit.
In 1986, took one more step and became one of the first female movie directors in Spain with the movie "Cómo ser mujer y no morir en el intento" which earned her the Gold Medal of Spanish Cinematographic Academy. That year concluded with another major success, a tour with Victor Manuel and many special guests of which they released a live album: "Mucho mas que dos". The success of this tour lead to a new one, "El Gusto es Nuestro" with Miguel Rios, Joan Manuel Serrat y Victor Manuel.
She releases several albums through the 90's that achieve great success like "Veneno para el Corazon" that included Spanish versions of Cole Porter songs among others, "Mirame" full of duets with the most important Spanish voices or "Lorquiana", a double CD with popular songs and poems of Federico García Lorca.

La Mentira
Ana Belén Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me quieres a pesar de lo que dices
Pues llevamos en el alma cicatrices
Imposibles de borrar
Se te olvida
Que hasta puedo hacerte mal si me decido
Pues tu amor lo tengo muy comprometido
Y hoy resulta
Que no soy de la estatura de tu vida
Y al dejarme casi, se te olvida,
Que hay un pacto entre los dos
Por mi parte
Te devuelvo tu promesa de adorarme
Ni siquiera sientas pena por dejarme
Que ese pacto
No es con Dios
The lyrics to Ana Belen & Victor Manuel's "La Mentira" speak about a disintegrating relationship where one partner is unable to move on from the past hurts and believes the other partner is lying to them about their love. The singer reminds their partner that they both carry emotional scars that cannot be erased and they, too, can cause harm if pushed. They then accuse their partner of forgetting the agreement between them, placing themselves above the other person and forgetting the promises they made to each other. The singer finally relents and releases their partner from their promise of love, telling them not to feel guilty for abandoning them, as the pact they made was not with God, but with each other.
The lyrics to "La Mentira" capture the emotional pain and turmoil that often accompanies the ending of a long-term relationship. The repetition of "Se te olvida" (you forget) highlights the singer's frustration that their partner is unable to see why their relationship is falling apart. The reference to emotional scars that are impossible to erase suggests that the singer may have been hurt in the past, making it harder to trust and move on. The mention of a pact between them further highlights the importance of promises and commitments, but also reveals that their love may not be based on a higher principle or transcendent force.

Qué guapa eres Ana. ❤
Siempre estuve enamorado de ti.
Ahora que el tiempo ⏳ me ha pasado la "factura", te contemplo y me haces sentirme feliz, un niño muy feliz.
Gracias por todo gracias por regalarme esos conmovedores boleros gracias Ana. ❤
Seguiré enamorado de ti, hasta que el último suspiro mío, extinga mi vida.
Muchas gracias. ❤
Hasta siempre. ❤

A Mentira
Você se esquece
Que me quer apesar do que diz
Pois levamos na alma cicatrizes
Impossíveis de apagar
Você se esquece
Que até posso lhe fazer mal se eu decidir
Pois eu tenho compromisso com seu amor
Mas a força não será
E hoje resulta
Que não sou da altura da sua vida
E ao me deixar quase, quase, você se esquece
Que existe um pacto entre os dois
Por minha parte
Te devolvo suas promessas de me adorar
Nem sequer sinta pena por me deixar
Que esse pacto
Não é com Deus
E hoje resulta
Que não sou da altura da sua vida
E ao me deixar quase, quase, você se esquece
Que existe um pacto entre os dois
Por minha parte
Te devolvo suas promessas de me adorar
Nem sequer sinta pena por me deixar
Que esse pacto
Não é com Deus
