Next to artists like Rocío Dúrcal and Selena, Beltran is credited with helping to form the genre, as well as solidifying a woman's place in it. Born in a small town in Sinaloa, Mexico, She showed immense musical potential from an early age. After her family had relocated to Los Angeles, she began performing professionally at restaurants and fiestas as early as age six. Under the name Gracielita Beltran, she began recording albums of norteño, banda and mariachi music with local musicians. Some four years later, Beltran was noticed by record execs at EMI, who offered to produce her next record. "Baraja de Oro" was one of the first singles from the six albums Beltran recorded with EMI. It went gold, and then platinum. Her 1995 release, Tesoro, announced her as an international recording star. She appeared on important Latin American television programs like Sabado Gigante and Siempre en Domingo. Some years later, her release La Reina del Pueblo con Banda featured selections of her own and some from the late Selena. The record was such a sentimental favorite that Beltran was soon called "La Reina del Pueblo" ("The Queen of the People") both in the press and among her fans. As the popularity of regional Mexican music grew across the U.S., so did Beltran's popularity. Her performance venues consistently sold out, and her releases topped numerous Billboard Latin categories. By 2007, she had racked up five film appearances and a discography boasting 20 original titles, the latter half of them with the powerful Mexican Univision label.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah diario te sueño y nose porque lo hago
Noseque me as dado me haces tanta falta
Te amo, mmm te amo

Como quisera meterme en tus labios
Y quitarme la sed y olvidar
Que peliamos, te extraño te estraño
Como quisieram tenerte en mi cama

Sintiendo tus labios recorrer mi cuerpo
Sentir tus dedos bajar por mi espalda, como tu sabes hacerlo

Tu amor es mi obsesión
Sufro y lloro por tu amor
Tu me ignoras me desprecias
Mientras yo cierro los ojos
Y en un suspiro yo te entrego el corazón

Tu amor es mi obsesión
Olvidemos el errror,
No resiste ya mi cuerpo estar solo es un tormento
Ya mi vida no tiene el mismo color

Este dolor es mi obsesion
No digas nada y solo hagamos el amor

Omo quisera meterme en tus labios
Y quitarme la sed y olvidar
Que peliamos, te extraño te estraño
Como quisiera tenerte en mi cama
Sintiendo tus labios recorrer mi cuerpo
Sentir tus dedos bajar por mi espalda, como tu sabes hacerlo

Tú amor es mi obsesión
Sufro y lloro por tu amor
Tu me ignoras me desprecias
Mientras yo cierro los ojos
Y en un suspiro yo te entrego el corazón

Tú amor es mi obsesión
Olvidemos el errror,
No resiste ya mi cuerpo estar solo es un tormento
Ya mi vida no tiene el mismo color

Este dolor es mi obsesión

No digas nada y solo hagamos el amor!!
No digas nada y solo hagamos el amor!!
