Throughout her long career she has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Grammy Award and the Emmy Award. The couple's striking union of broad ballads and breezy swing has combined with the endurance of their marriage and their comic facility to make them American institutions - even though neither of the couple, as separate performers or together, has put a single into the American Top 40 since 1963.

Piel Canela
Eydie Gorme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O que pierda el ancho mar su inmensidad
Pero el negro de tus ojos que no muera
Y el canela de tu piel se quede igual
Si perdiera el arcoiris su belleza
Y las flores su perfume y su color
No sería tan inmensa mi tristeza
Me importas tú y tú y tú
Y solamente tú y tú y tú
Me importas tú y tú y tú
Y nadie más que tú
Ojos negros piel canela
Que me llegan a desesperar
Me importas tú y tú y tú
Y solamente tú y tú y tú
Me importas tú y tú y tú
Y nadie más que tú
(Ojos negros piel canela
Que me llegan a desespear)
Me importas tú y tú y tú
Y solamente tú y tú y tú
Me importas tú y tú y tú
Y nadie más que tú
The song "Piel Canela" by Eydie Gormé y Trio Los Panchos is a romantic ballad that explores the depth of love's passion. The lyrics express the idea that even if the world were to lose its most beautiful and valuable things, such as stars, the vastness of the sea, the colors of the rainbow, or the fragrant flowers, the singer's love for the person with the "black eyes" and "cinnamon skin" would never die. The song's opening lines set the stage for its central theme: the eternal nature of deep, passionate love. The idea that love is a force that can transcend even the most significant natural elements of the world is further highlighted by the repetition of the words "me importas tú" (you matter to me) and the reference to the intensity of the love through the phrase "que me llegan a desesperar" (that drive me to despair).
As the song continues, the lyrics further expand on the idea of the depth and intensity of love. The repetition of the phrase "me importas tú," each time with more emphasis, reflects the singer's obsession with the object of their love. This is especially evident in the lines "Y nadie más que tú" (and no one else but you), which highlight the idea that the love is exclusive and all-consuming. The final repetition of "ojos negros piel canela" emphasizes the singer's fixation on the physical features of their beloved. Together, the lyrics portray a love that is all-encompassing, powerful, and everlasting.
