In 1950, Cruz made her first major breakthrough, after the lead singer of the La Sonora Matancera, a renowned Cuban orchestra, left the group and Cruz was called to fill in. Cruz was hired permanently by the orchestra, but she wasn't well accepted by the public at first. However, the orchestra stood by their decision, and soon Cruz became famous throughout Cuba. During the 15 years she was a member, the band traveled all over Latin America.

Celia Cruz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
perdón, si es que te he faltado
perdón, cariñito amado
ángel adorado, dame tu perdón
Jamás, habrá quien separe
amor, de tu amor y el mío
porque si llorarte ansío
Si tú sabes que te quiero con todo el corazón
(con todo el corazón, con todo el corazón)
que tú eres el anhelo de mi única ilusión
(de mi única ilusión, de mi única ilusión)
Ven, calma mis angustias con un poco de amor
con un poco de amor
que es todo lo que ansía, que es todo lo que ansía
mi pobre corazón
Si tú sabes que te quiero con todo el corazón
(con todo el corazón, con todo el corazón)
que tú eres el anhelo de mi única ilusión
(de mi única ilusión, de mi única ilusión)
Ven, calma mis angustias con un poco de amor
con un poco de amor
que es todo lo que ansía, que es todo lo que ansía
mi pobre corazón

Inolvidable Celia, inolvidable canción, inolvidable dúo. Pido perdón, por siete, inadaptados que seguramente estaban buscando regettón, y se encontraron con esta bella página y no comprendiendo tanta belleza pusieron manos abajo.
