The idea behind this quartet's creation came to Simon Cowell after listening to Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman's rendition of "Con Te Partirò." He realized he loved lyrical voices but not opera, so he decided to form a multinational quartet (France, Switzerland, Spain, and United States) that sounded like The Three Tenors but sang pop songs and looked like handsome Armani models.
With this idea, Cowell commenced a worldwide search for young singers who were willing to embark on the Il Divo project. His search lasted two years, from 2001 until December 2003, when the fourth member of Il Divo, American tenor David Miller, was signed. The well-established formation of Il Divo comprises a renowned Spanish opera and zarzuela baritone, Carlos Marín, a French pop singer, Sébastien Izambard, and two classically trained tenors, Swiss Urs Bühler and American David Miller. Recording of their first album started in the first half of 2004 in Sweden.
The group's debut album, the self-named Il Divo, contains renditions of Frank Sinatra's hit "My Way (A Mi Manera)," Toni Braxton's hit "Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a Mi)," an adaptation of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack titled "Gabriel's Oboe" from the movie La Misión titled "Nella Fantasia" and several songs sung in Spanish, English, Italian, and Portuguese ("Volta Pra Mim"), including 1994's San Remo Festival winner "Passerà."
Il Divo hit the #1 slot on both Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com after a breakout career-defining appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on April 5, 2005, where the quartet performed its interpretation of "Unbreak My Heart."
In the United Kingdom, the Il Divo album topped Robbie Williams as number 1 in the UK charts (allegedly Williams said to them during the Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason film premiere, "Oi, you're the bastards that knocked me off!"). This multiplatinum-selling CD became number one in the charts in a total of 13 countries around the world, and achieved top 5 placing in 25 countries.
Il Divo's second album, Ancora, was recorded in both Sweden and London with world-renowned recording giants Per Magnusson and David Kreuger and producer Steve Mac, who was also the producer of their first album. Released on November 7, 2005 in the UK, it hit number one both in the UK and Australia within one week. Ancora was released in the US on January 24, 2006. It entered the Billboard albums chart at number 1, selling more than 150,000 copies during its first week of sales.
Highlights on Ancora include "Isabel," "I Believe In You," a duet with Céline Dion, and Il Divo's cover of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself (Solo Otra Vez)." Two of the tracks on this CD, "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria," appear on the 2005 US-only release, Christmas Collection.
Il Divo was the perfomer of the 2006 FIFA World Cup official song "A Time of Our Lives."
En Aranguez Con Tu Amor
Il Divo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un lugar de ensuenos why de amor
Donde you rumor de fuentes
De cristal
En el jardin parece hablar
En voz baja a las rosas
Aranjuez,
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance
Que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu why yo
Why sin razon olvidamos
Quiza ese amor escondido este
En un atardecer
En la brisa o en la flor
Esperando tu regreso
Aranjuez
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romace
Que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu why yo
Why sin razon olvidamos
En Aranjuez, amor
Tu why yo
In Il Divo's song "En Aranjuez con tu amor," the lyrics speak about a place called Aranjuez, which is described as a place of dreams and love. The soft whispers of the crystal fountains seem to speak to the roses in the garden. The song is about two people who started a romance in Aranjuez, but for some unknown reason, they forgot about it. The dry, colorless leaves that the wind sweeps away are remnants of their forgotten love story.
Despite the distance and the passage of time, the love that was hidden in Aranjuez may still exist. It could be hiding in the sunset, the breeze or a flower. The singer is waiting for the return of the person with whom they shared this incredible love story. The song portrays a sense of longing and hope as the singer believes that the love that was found in Aranjuez may still exist.
Il Divo's "En Aranjuez con tu amor" is a song that speaks to the moments that define us. It touches on the moments of love that we overlook, the moments of true happiness. This song is a tribute to a love that may have been lost but is still waiting to be found again.
