Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La magia del primer encuentro la primer mirada
Como olvidar
La timides del primer veso tierna y ruborada
Y como olvidaaar
Tus uñas rasgando mi espalda y yo abriendo camino
Para llegar al premio que medio la vida que medio el destino,
Amor si lloro es de alegria estoy selebrando, amor aun que pasen los años yo te sigo amando.
Aun siento tu extremecer como la ves primera
Yo te amo y te amare la vida entera, nos amamos par ygual
De que manera.
Como olvidar
Tus uñas rasgando mi espalda y yo abriendo camino
Para llegar al premio que medio la vida que medio el destino,
Amor si lloro es de alegria estoy selebrando, amor aun que pasen los años yo te sigo amando.
Y apesar que yo sea otoño y tu primavera
Aun siento tu extremecer como la ves primera
Yo te amo y te amare la vida entera, nos amamos par ygual
Y de que manera.
