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.
The new century finds her busy with filming and recording songs. Albums "Peces de Ciudad" or "Viva L'Italia" are released as she appears on stage plays and her name is on some of the most acclaimed films of the moment.
In 2006, she is currently touring with her husband Víctor Manuel across Spain with "Una Cancion me Trajo Aqui", a CD+DVD has been released of their very first performance in Segovia.She also has a new album in the works and a new movie pending.
No Volverán
Ana Belén Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pero le arrastraron sus pies
Como el rio olvida en el mar
Su color y el nombre al entrar
Tiene en las espaldas siempre su mirada
Cuando corré en busca de él
No se siente extraña ni culpable en nada
Pero que dificil es.
No volveran los dias que eran siempre igual
Convertida en reina de la casa
Atrofiado el cuerpo de esperar
No volveran las noches que eran siempre igual
De llorarle tantas madrugadas
Sus palabras torpes al llegar
Se le enreda la voluntad
Cuando es hora de regresar
Vive en un segundo todos los minutos
Trata el tiempo de amarrar
Pero cualquier tarde temblaran sus dedos
Al decir en casa hoy ya no te quiero
No volveran los dias que eran siempre igual
Convertida en reina de la casa
Atrofiado el cuerpo de esperar
No volveran las noches que eran siempre igual
De llorarle tantas madrugadas
Sus palabras torpes al llegar
A veces le mira como a un ser extraño
Al que nunca pueda odiar
Nunca fue dificil cambiar los afectos
Ni una pasion grande por amor pequeño
No volveran...
The lyrics of "No Volverán" by Ana Belén depict a woman who has been torn between her loyalty to her husband and her desire to escape her monotonous and unfulfilling life. The first verse talks about how the singer was not planning to be unfaithful but somehow found herself getting swept away by the feelings of excitement and passion that she experiences with another man. She feels conflicted and torn between what she wants and what she knows is right.
The chorus talks about how she longs for things to return to the way they were before, a time of relative certainty and stability, but she knows that those days are gone forever. The second verse talks about how she struggles to maintain her sense of self-control and composure when she is with this other man. She tries to hold on to time and keep things from moving too quickly, but she knows that she will eventually have to face the consequences of her actions.
The final verse talks about how the singer's feelings for the other man are complicated and ambiguous. She cannot hate him, but neither can she fully commit herself to him. She knows that she has changed, and she is afraid of what the future holds.
Overall, this song paints a vivid and emotional picture of a woman who is struggling to navigate the complexities of desire, loyalty, and self-discovery.

@@luispalacio851 Mire usted , honestamente
lo que pienso es que todo tipo de arte y la
música lo es , debe estar al margen de
posicionamientos políticos por razones
obvias , lo que no se puede decir ni de
Ana Belén ni mucho menos de Victor
Manuel , no sé si sabe que este cantautor
le cantó al mismísimo general Franco el
tema Ese gran hombre , lo que le sirvió
para caer simpático al régimen y de paso
facturar ,haciendo numerosísimas galas
y actuaciones.Después vieron que los
tiempos estaban cambiando y se pasaron
a militar en el P.C.E. ganándose las
simpatias de los que iban a gobernar
España .Ana Belén durante el franquismo
también fue una niña prodigio y privilegiada
ganando dinero y fama. Quiero decirle que
estos dos siempre han estado arrimados
al poder sea cuál sea ese poder . No estoy
criticando sus dotes artísticas que sin
duda ambos las tienen.
