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).

Belle Perez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No volvera mas
why me pintaba las manos
why la cara d'azul
why de improviso el viento rapido me llevo
why me hecho a volar en el cielo infinito
Volare oh, oh
Nel blu , dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
why volando , volando feliz
Yo me encuentro mas alto
Mas alto que el sol
Mientras el mundo se aleja despacio
Despacio de mi
Una musica dulce tocada
Solo para mi
Volare oh, oh
Cantare , oh oh oh oh
Nel blu , dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
Cuando sei Maria Dolores
Cuando sei quei mal d'amore
Cuando sei quei mal a su vera
Cuando sei me va al dottore
Baila baila baila baila
Baila baila baila me
Esta rumba tan gitana
Que yo siempre cantare
Pero yo siempre cantare
Pero yo siempre cantare
Esta rumba tan gitana
Que yo siempre cantare
Que solo vivo enamora te
Que solo vivo enamora te
Me enamore de esta gitana
Que se pone a bailar
Baila baila baila baila
Baila baila baila me
Esta rumba tan gitana
Que yo siempre cantare
Pero yo siempre cantare
Pero yo siempre cantare
Esta rumba tan gitana
Que yo siempre cantare
Pero yo siempre cantare
Pero yo siempre cantare
Esta rumba tan gitana
Que yo siempre cantare
Este amor llega asi de esta manera
No tiene la culpa
Caballo de la Savana
Porque es muy despreciado
Por eso no te perdono llorar
Este amor llega asi de esta manera
No tiene la culpa
Amor de comprementa
Amorrs del pasado
Bembele,bembele,bembele
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprendi a vivir asi
Bamboleo , bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
No tiene perdon de dios
Es imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Pero el destino te a desemparado
Lo mismo hoy que ayer, lo mismo soy yo
why lla no encuentro la razon
Es imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un dia lo encuentro asi de nada
Lo mismo hoy que ayer
Yo pienso en ti
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprendi a vivir asi
Bamboleo , bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi
The Belle Perez song "Gipsy Kings Medley" is a combination of three different songs (with some alterations to the original lyrics). The first part of the medley is an Italian song by Domenico Modugno called "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu" (also known as "Volare"). The lyrics describe the feeling of flying and being free, with the singer painting their hands and face blue before being taken away by the wind. The second part of the medley introduces Spanish lyrics, expressing the love and passion of a Gitana (Gypsy) community, which is known for their love of music and dance. The final part of the medley features the Gipsy Kings song "Bamboleo", which speaks of the joys and sorrows of life, and how the singer has learned to live in the moment and embrace their destiny.
Overall, the medley explores themes of freedom, joy, passion, and destiny. The first song represents a desire to escape and fly away, while the second song represents a community that celebrates love and music. The final song brings it all together, acknowledging life's ups and downs, but also embracing the beauty of living in the present moment.

Pienso que un sueño parecido
No volvera mas
why me pintaba las manos
why la cara d'azul
why de improviso el viento rapido me llevo
why me hecho a volar en el cielo infinito
I thought that a similar dream
would never happen again
and as I painted my hands
and my face blue
suddenly the strong wind took me away
and I soared into the endless sky.
Volare oh, oh
Cantare , oh oh oh oh
I'll fly, oh, oh
and I'll sing, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Nel blu , dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
why volando , volando feliz
Yo me encuentro mas alto
Mas alto que el sol
Mientras el mundo se aleja despacio
Despacio de mi
Una musica dulce tocada
Solo para mi
In paintings of blue skies
I'm happy up there
flying, happy to fly
and I'm higher, higher than the sun
while the world slowly moves away
away from me
sweet music plays,
just for me.

When I am Maria Dolores
when love makes me suffer
when I am in pain by his side
even then, off to the doctor I go.
Dance, dance, dance, dance
dance, dance, dance with me
this truly gypsy rumba
that I will always sing
that I will always sing
that I will always sing
this truly gypsy rumba
that I will always sing.
I only live to love you
I only live to love you
I fell in love with this gypsy
who starts to dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
dance, dance, dance with me
this truly gypsy rumba
that I will always sing
that I will always sing

This love comes just this way
it's not its fault
A Savannah horse
because it's so despised
that's why I won't forgive you for crying.
This love comes just this way
it's not its fault
Love in accessory
love of the past
Bembele, bembele, bembele.

Sway, shake
to live my life as I've learned
Sway, shake
to prefer living life as I do
It's beyond God's forgiveness
It's impossible, I truly can't find you at all
but destiny has abandoned you
same as today, same as yesterday, same as me
And I cannot find the reason
It's impossible, I truly can't find you at all
so one day I find you as if by nothing
same as today, same as yesterday
I'm thinking of you.
Sway, shake
to live my life as I've learned
Sway, shake
to prefer living life as I do.
