Chenoa was born in Mar de Plata (Argentina) on June 25, 1975, although her family moved to Spain when she was 8. Her parents were both musicians and they used to work in hotels as singers in live music shows, so Chenoa has lived and breathed music since birth.
At the age of 16, Chenoa began to sing professionally taking part in her parent's show. Her mother fell ill and Chenoa had to stand in for her.
She graduated as a teacher in nursery school, and started performing in the Casino de Mallorca shows when she was 20. There, Chenoa acquired a good stage presence before entering the first edition of the Spanish TV show Operación Triunfo in 2001.
Her first album was “Chenoa”, released in April 2002 in Spain. The first single was Atrévete, a song whose English version is also included in the album as Mystify, but the greatest hit of this CD was Cuando tu vas, danced all over Spain in the summer of '02. “Chenoa” sold over 500,000 copies in Spain after 61 weeks in Top 100 chart, and she was nominated for the Spanish music industry awards Premios Amigo as best female new artist, and best female artist. Year 2002 finished with a Spanish tour that included more than 70 dates.
In April 2003 Chenoa took part in Eurobest, an European song contest in which she performed "It's raining men”. Her great stage presence led her to victory.
The unplugged album “Mis canciones favoritas” was Chenoa’s second CD. It was recorded in Barcelona in April 2003, and included some of her favorite songs, such as: Man in the mirror, Respect, Chain of fools or Love of my life. This CD+DVD was released on a limited edition of 100,000 copies for fans.
“Soy Mujer” was the chosen title for her second studio album, recorded in Miami and Madrid in 2003. Pop, rock, and latin, arab and anglosaxon sounds are mixed in this CD, which reached number one in the Spanish album chart, and sold more than 230,000 copies after 47 weeks in the Top 100. "En tu cruz me clavaste", "Soy lo que me das", "Siete Pétalos", "Dame and Soy Mujer were the singles released. Chenoa was nominated again for the Premios Amigo award as best female artist and completed an 80-date tour in Spain. In 2004 she was nominated for the Tu Música award as best new artist, in Puerto Rico.
In May and June 2004 she started “Soy Mujer” promotional tour around Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Argentina. In December she visited Panama, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic.
In April 2005 the Spanish Radio and Television Associations Federation awarded her the Micrófono de Oro 2005. Venezuela has also awarded Chenoa in 2005 with the Mara de Oro 2005 to the best new international artist of the year.
November was the month chosen for the release of Chenoa's third studio album "Nada es igual". In this pop-rock CD we find a new direction in Chenoa’s music, as it has been produced by Dado Parisini (Laura Pausini, Nek, Tears for Fears), and recorded in Milan. “Nada es igual" it's not only a sample of her musical evolution, but also of her new personal challenge. Rutinas is the first single.
Chenoa has still been going strong in the Spanish Charts, although most other reality TV show stars die out soon after. In 2004, her song Dame topped the Spanish charts for three weeks. In 2005, her song Rutinas (Routines) from her new album released in Nov 2005 reached number 4 on its first week, which is a great achievement.

Tengo Para Ti
Chenoa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una palabra desierta y una bala en un pulmón
Pienso voy a echar leña a la hoguera
Voy a rendirme cuando quieras
Desarmada en tu colchón
Y pienso y temo y paro y vengo
Y me alimento más de ti
Tengo para ti un estribillo a contratiempo
Tengo para ti siete pecados y un tormento
Que me huele a ti y el saborcito de mi cuerpo
Que si lo tocas, que si lo tocas
Temblaré pensando en ti
Tengo un demonio en la cabeza
Una mirada traviesa y un infierno en el cajón
Vengo a pedirte por las buenas
Que te aguantes mi condena
Hasta que se acabe la función
Y miento y tengo y busco y vengo
Y siento más ganas de ti
Me contengo el desaliento
De quererte así
Tengo para ti un estribillo a contratiempo
Tengo para ti siete pecados y un tormento
Que me huele a ti y el saborcito de mi cuerpo
Que si lo tocas, que si lo tocas
Temblaré pensando en ti pensando en ti
Y pienso y tengo y paro y vengo
Y me alimento más de ti
Te entretengo con el cuento de quererte así
Tengo para ti un estribillo a contratiempo
Tengo para ti siete pecados y un tormento
Que me huele a ti y el saborcito de mi cuerpo
Que si lo tocas, que si lo tocas
Temblaré pensando en ti
Siento que en el tiempo de descuento
Se rompió mi juramento
Y dejo la canción sin terminar
The song "Tengo para ti" by Chenoa is a ballad about being captivated by someone and wanting to give oneself to them fully. The lyrics describe the singer's desire for the person they love and their struggle to contain their emotions. The opening lines "Siento un milagro tras la puerta / Una palabra desierta y una bala en un pulmón" ("I feel a miracle behind the door / A deserted word and a bullet in a lung") set a somber tone and create a sense of impending danger. The singer acknowledges that they are vulnerable and at the mercy of the person they love, but they can't help but surrender to them completely.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Tengo para ti" ("I have for you") followed by a description of the singer's intense feelings for the person they love. The line "Que me huele a ti y el saborcito de mi cuerpo / Que si lo tocas, que si lo tocas / Temblaré pensando en ti" ("That smells like you and the little taste of my body / That if you touch it, if you touch it / I will tremble thinking of you") is particularly sensual and evocative, conveying the physical desire the singer has for their lover. The repeated use of the phrase "a contratiempo" ("against time") in the chorus creates a sense of urgency, as if the singer cannot hold back their feelings any longer.
The verses describe the singer's inner turmoil as they try to resist their feelings but ultimately give in to their desire. The line "Vengo a pedirte por las buenas / Que te aguantes mi condena / Hasta que se acabe la función" ("I come to ask you nicely / To put up with my sentence / Until the show is over") suggests that the singer is aware that their love may cause pain or lead to heartbreak, but they cannot help themselves. The final line of the song, "Siento que en el tiempo de descuento / Se rompió mi juramento / Y dejo la canción sin terminar" ("I feel that in the last minute / My oath was broken / And I leave the song unfinished") reflects the sense of incompleteness and uncertainty that comes with love.

Esta es definitivamente una de mis canciones favoritas, cuando el álbum fue lanzado, recuerdo que esta canción me enganchó de inmediato, y luego vino el videoclip... Pura perfección, musical y visualmente.
Personalmente, el disco Nada Es Igual es uno de los mejores. ❤

chenolomas
Recuerdo lo que se tardó en grabar este videoclip, esperando que floreciera el Valle del Jerte, que solo dura unos dias y se tiene que aprovechar ese momento. Valió la pena, quedó precioso y chenoa ni que decir.

Jamás dejaré de admirar y cantar esta canción, ojalá vuelva a cantar esta Chenoa que tanto me gusta o dando otra versión. Pero quiero ya, canciones nuevas suyas. Las necesito.
