Cornelio Reyna formed a partnership with the legendary Ramón Ayala to create the famous duet called Los Relampagos del Norte in 1963. The band stayed together for eight years and then in 1971, Reyna decided to pursue a solo career as a mariachi singer. His mariachi career was not as successful as music experts expected. He was unable to compete and gain a spot alongside charismatic mariachi giants Vicente Fernández and Antonio Aguilar.
Reyna played for 26 more years before dying in 1997 of a stomach ulcer.
Reyna played the bajo sexto and was the lead singer. Famous songs include "El Tenampa," "Mi Tesoro," "Me Cai De La Nube", and "Te Vas Angel Mio".
Although Cornelio Reyna died at a young age he was able to produce many hits that will last forever. All this success, would begin with Los Relampagos del Norte in 1963 with the hit song "Ya no Llores", the song became such a hit that Ramon Ayala included it in his latest cd also titled Ya no Llores. He was married to Mercedes Castro, also a singer of mariachi music. She is currently singing alongside Amparo Higuera, the last remaining singer of Dueto Las Jilguerillas. Imelda Higuera died in 2004. Their latest release is Dos Botellas de Mezcal.
Conozco a los dos
Cornelio Reyna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo se bien, que perdí la partida,
Yo se bien que humillaste a mi amor,
Pero tuve ganas de verte muy cerca y te vine a buscar,
Que vuelva, que vuelva tan solo una vez, pero que vuelva,
Mi cielo, yo vengo a pedirte perdón, para que vuelvas,
Si quieres mi vida, mi vida te doy,
Que mas da que la gente nos diga, conozco a los dos.
Que vuelva, que vuelva tan solo una vez, pero que vuelva,
Si quieres mi vida, mi vida te doy,
Que mas da que la gente nos diga, conozco a los dos.
The lyrics to Cornelio Reyna's song Conozco a los Dos describe the singer's desperation to be close to their love interest again, despite knowing that they have lost the game and have been humiliated in the past. They express their desire for their loved one to return and ask for forgiveness, offering their life as a sacrifice in exchange for their return. The singer acknowledges the fact that society may look down on their relationship, but ultimately it doesn't matter because they know both sides of the story.
The desperation and pleading tone in the lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply in love with their partner and wants to make amends for any mistakes made in the past. They are willing to overlook their partner's flaws and society's judgment to be with the person they love. The phrase "conozco a los dos" ("I know both") implies that the singer has a full understanding of their partner's character and history, and is still willing to love them despite any shortcomings.
This song captures the intensity of a passionate and complicated relationship, as well as the willingness to forgive and move forward. It speaks to the power of love and the sacrifices we are willing to make for it.
