Enrique was a true blue poet : his vocal style was all his own, his words were simple but to the point … Anyone who has loved and lost can feel comforted by his songs.
He was the driving force behind Los Secretos, a spanish pop-rock group from the “movida ” in Madrid in the later 70s. He was influenced by the country rock movement in the United States ,and he loved tex-mex music. When he broke from the band with his brother he formed “Los Problemas” with a clear tex-mex influence. The band Los Secretos is still performing his songs and nobody can sing them better than his own brother, Álvaro Urquijo.
solo pienso en ti
Enrique Urquijo y Los Problemas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
después de estudiarte lentamente
termino pensando que faltan
sobre mi paleta colores intensos
que reflejen tu rara belleza
no puedo plasmar tu sonrisa
captar tu mirada
pero poco a poco.
Sólo pienso en ti, sólo pienso en ti
sólo pienso en ti, sólo pienso en ti.
Tu sigues viniendo y sigues posando
con mucha paciencia porque siempre
mi lienzo está en blanco
las horas se pasan volando
y hay poco trabajo adelantado
para tu retrato.
Sospecho que no tienes prisa
y que te complace ver que poco a poco
sólo pienso en ti, sólo pienso en ti
sólo pienso en ti, sólo pienso en ti.
The song "Solo Pienso en Ti" by Enrique Urquijo y Los Problemas is a beautiful ode to love and the struggle that comes with trying to depict its essence through art. The lyrics depict the artist's frustration as he tries to capture the beauty of his subject on his canvas. He paints and paints, but somehow, the colors don't seem intense enough to reflect the subject's rare beauty. He cannot quite capture the subject's smile or gaze, but he persists, working slowly and patiently.
The artist's perseverance is driven by his obsession with his subject. He can't stop thinking about the person, who continues to come and pose for him even as he struggles with his work. The hours fly by as he tries to get the painting just right, but he still has a long way to go. However, the artist suspects that his subject is not in a hurry and finds pleasure in watching him work, slowly becoming consumed by the single thought of his subject, unable to break free from the all-consuming fixation.

He escuchado muchas versiones de este tema y con todos mis respetos para las demás, como la de Enrique Urquijo ninguna. Fue un maestro de la melancolía, y Perdurará en el tiempo. Grande Enrique

Mítica canción de Cánovas, Rodrigo, Adolfo y Guzmán, para mí con Secretos y Pistones, lo mejor de la música española
Merce garay vives
su voz arrastraba toda la tristeza y melancolía del mundo

Maravillosa versión del tema de Cánovas, Rodrigo, Adolfo y Guzmán. De verdad que no sabría decidirme sobre ninguna de las dos versiones.
