Ironically, the group's only Number One Latin chart hit was the single "A Capa y Espada," one of the only Industria del Amor songs that doesn't feature the vocals of singer Roberto Verduzco. Though the group's singles began to fade from the charts toward the end of the '90s, Industria del Amor's albums continued to chart. The groups' continuing popularity was confirmed with the release of two greatest-hits packages, 30 Inolvidables and 30 Inolvidables, Vol. 2, both of which were Top 20 Latin chart hits in 2003.

El Niño Del Tambor
Industria Del Amor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

El camino que lleva a Belén
Baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió
Los pastorcillos quieren ver a su Rey,
Le traen regalos en su humilde zurrón
Al Redentor, al Redentor

Yo quisiera poner a tu pies
Algún presente que te agrade Señor,

Más tú ya sabes que soy pobre también,
Y no poseo más que un viejo tambor
(rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom)
En tu honor frente al portal tocaré
Con mi tambor

El camino que lleva a Belén
Voy marcando con mi viejo tambor,
Nada hay mejor que yo pueda ofrecer,

Su ronco acento es un canto de amor
Al Redentor, al Redentor
