Cri-Cri is known as the "grillito cantor" or "the singing cricket". He is a character created by Francisco Gabilondo Soler in his childhood and may even be considered "his inner personality"
The character became so famous and gave its author such renown, that it became a second name for Gabilondo. In the mid part of the 20th century he became the most recognizable singer of children's songs in Spanish. Gabilondo's dedication to this segment of the population has been greatly admired, comparable to Walt Disney in his honest approach to making life fun for those who are getting started in life.
Castillo Azul
Cri-Cri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
en las nubes
te juro,
de belleza tal
que nunca igual
pudo haber más puro.
Es un castillo
por miles,
y otras cosas más
que el corazón
a pedirte va.
Bajo torre de diamantes
dormita el amor,
y los ángeles lo arrullan
con arpas de sol
Aquel castillo
en las nubes
te espera,
algun día irás
a recibir
la felicidad.
