Born in Neerpelt to Spanish parents, María Isabel Perez Cerezo discovered her talent at the age of 5. The singer was discovered for her musical talents by her former manager Patrick Renier at a local talent show.
In 1999 she participated in the Belgian preselections of the Eurovision Song Contest and from then on Belle's career in music took off. She started off in pop music but in 2002 changed her style to latino/pop and went live on stage with her own "Baila Perez"-band. The album that came with it was an instant success and remained on the top spot in the Belgian charts for several weeks.
By 2006 her career was at an incredible high. She reached the status of "star" in both Belgium and The Netherlands. Her numerous concerts in both countries sold out in record time. In May 2006 she performed for the first time in the Antwerp Sportpaleis. Later that year, she also took the stage at Heineken Music Hall (Amsterdam).
In the summer of 2006 she released her long awaited new album 'Gotitas de Amor', after having released her fifth and Best Of album at the end of 2005.
2007 and 2008 proved to be equally successful with the Latin Fever tour, once again a sold out concert at the Sportpaleis Antwerp and for the very first time a show at Ahoy Rotterdam. Also, in 2008, the album GIPSY hits the stores.
In 2009 Belle Perez celebrated her 10th anniversary as an artist. Standaard Uitgeverij released her biography, she toured once again with her live band and put out a DVD, all named "DIEZ" (Spanish for TEN).

Mírame
Belle Perez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi blanco, mi negro eres el rey de mi sensualidad
Te mando un beso que va volando sobre un papel
Con destino hacia tu piel
Mírame, quiéreme
Yo te quiero para mí
Y mi pobre, pobre alma por ti la perdí
Ah, yo te quiero para mí
Y mi pobre, pobre alma por ti la perdí
Sus ojos liberan cada misterio con su mirar
A veces dudo si es un sueño o realidad
Una vida contigo, una historia para crear
Tú y yo juntos hasta el final
Mírame, quiéreme
Yo te quiero para mí
Y mi pobre, pobre alma por ti la perdí
Mírame, quiéreme
Ah, yo te quiero para mí
Y mi pobre, pobre alma por ti la perdí
No, no, no...
Oh, uh, oh... Oh, uh, oh...
Mírame, quiéreme
Uh...
Mírame, quiéreme
Yo te quiero para mí
Y mi pobre, pobre alma por ti la perdí
Mírame, quiéreme
Ah, yo te quiero para mí
Y mi pobre, pobre alma por ti la perdí
Por ti la perdí
Por ti la perdí
Por ti la perdí
The lyrics of Belle Perez's Mírame beautifully captures the feeling of falling in love and wanting someone to reciprocate those emotions back. The singer explains and confesses the effect the person has on her each time they make eye contact. She states that every time this person looks at her, she falls deeper in love with them. The lines "Mi blanco, mi negro eres el rey de mi sensualidad" can be translated to "My white, my black, you're the king of my sensuality." This could refer to the fact that the person she's singing about, may have different sides to them or they could represent passion and purity, creating a perfect balance. As she reflects on her emotions, she sends a metaphorical kiss on a paper to the person as a symbol of her love.
The chorus "Mírame, quiéreme, yo te quiero para mí, y mi pobre, pobre alma por ti la perdí" translates to "look at me, love me, I want you for myself, and my poor, poor soul I lost for you." The words imply that the singer has completely surrendered herself to the person, and they have taken over her heart and mind. The second verse reinforces this idea as the singer acknowledges the power of the person's gaze which uncovers the mysteries of her soul. The lyric "Tú y yo juntos hasta el final" can be translated to "you and me together until the end," and it seems to be a promise of fidelity and a long-lasting relationship. Ultimately, the song is an ode to unconditional love and the beauty of falling for someone.
