Eydie Gormé (alternative spelling Eydie Gorme); born Edith Gormezano, 16 August 1928 is an American singer credited heavily, along with husband Steve Lawrence, with helping to keep the classic Traditional pop music repertoire alive and well. She still continues to entertain and tour with husband Steve.
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.Gormé enjoyed a few hit singles on her own, none selling bigger than 1963's "Blame it on the Bossa Nova", which was also her final foray into the Top 40 pop charts). Still, she won a Grammy Award for Best Female Vocal Performance in 1967, for her version of "If He Walked Into My Life", from the stage musical Mame. The latter made No. 5 on the Billboard magazine Easy Listening chart in 1966 despite failing to make the Billboard Hot 100. Indeed, most of Gorme's singles chart success from 1963 onward was on the Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary side, where she charted 27 singles (both solo and with her husband) from 1963 to 1979 (of which "If He Walked Into My Life" was the most successful). As a soloist, her other biggest hits during that period included "What Did I Have That I Don't Have?" from the musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (No. 17 Easy Listening, 1966) and "Tonight I'll Say a Prayer" (No. 45 Pop and No. 8 Easy Listening, 1969, also her last Hot 100 entry as a solo artist).
Gormé gained crossover success in the Latin music market through a series of albums she made in Spanish with the famed Trio Los Panchos. In 1964, the two acts joined forces for a collection of Spanish-language standards called Amor. Their recording of the song "Sabor a Mi" became closely identified with Gormé and has emerged as one of her signature tunes. The disc was later reissued as Canta en Espanol. In 1965, a sequel appeared called More Amor (later reissued as Cuatro Vidas). Her last album with Los Panchos was a 1966 Christmas collection, Navidad Means Christmas, later reissued as Blanca Navidad. Gormé also recorded other Spanish albums in her career, including the Grammy-nominated La Gormé (1976), a contemporary outing. The 1977 release Muy Amigos/Close Friends, a duet collection with Puerto Rican singer Danny Rivera, also received a Grammy nomination.

Eydie Gorme y Los Panchos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el alma solo tengo soledad
Y si ya no puedo verte
¿Por que Dios me hizo quererte
Para hacerme sufrir más?
Siempre fuiste la razón de mi existir
Adorarte para mí fue religión
El calor que me brindaba
El amor y la pasión
Es la historia de un amor
Como no hay otro igual
Que me hizo comprender
Todo el bien, todo el mal
Que le dio luz a mi vida
Apagándola después
Ay, qué vida tan oscura
Sin tu amor no viviré
Es la historia de un amor
Es la historia de un amor
Como no hay otro igual
Que me hizo comprender
Todo el bien, todo el mal
Que le dio luz a mi vida
Apagándola después
Ay, qué vida tan oscura
Sin tu amor no viviré
Es la historia de un amor
The Eydie Gorme Y Trio Los Panchos song "Amor" is a classic love ballad that speaks of the heartache and pain of losing love. The lyrics express how the singer is feeling heartbroken and alone since their loved one is no longer with them. The opening lines state, "Ya no estás más a mi lado, corazón / En el alma solo tengo soledad," meaning "You are no longer by my side, my heart / In my soul, I only have loneliness."
The songwriter wonders why they had to fall in love with their lost love just to suffer even more pain. They question, "¿Por que Dios me hizo quererte / Para hacerme sufrir más?" which translates to "Why did God make me love you / To make me suffer more?" The next lines reveal how the lost love used to be the reason for the singer's existence, and adoring them was like a religion. Their kisses were full of warmth and love, which added passion to their passionate relationship.

Amor, amor, amor (amor dulce amor)
Nació de ti, nació de mí, de la esperanza
Amor, amor, amor (amor dulce amor)
Nació de Dios para los dos, nació del alma
Sentir que tus besos se anidaron en mí
Igual que palomas mensajeras de luz
Saber que mis besos se quedaron en ti
Haciendo en tus labios la señal de la cruz
Amor, amor, amor (amor dulce amor)
Nació de ti, nació de mí, de la esperanza
Amor, amor, amor (amor dulce amor)
Nació de Dios, para los dos, nació del alma
Sentir que tus besos, se anidaron en mí
Igual que palomas, mensajeras de luz
Saber que mis besos se quedaron en ti
Haciendo en tus labios la señal de la cruz
Amor, amor, amor (amor dulce amor)
Nació de ti, nació de mí, de la esperanza
Amor, amor, amor (amor dulce amor)
Nació de Dios, para los dos, nació del alma
Amor...
Amor...
