Julio José Iglesias de la Cueva (born September 23, 1943 in Madrid, Spain) … Read Full Bio ↴Julio José Iglesias de la Cueva (born September 23, 1943 in Madrid, Spain) is Spain's best selling singer and the best-selling Spanish language singer of all time. Julio Iglesias has sold over 250,000,000 records in different languages and released 77 records. He thus far has performed approximately 5,000 concerts during his career.
Early career to 1978
Julio was the son of Julio Iglesias Sr, a doctor. He was a professional football player with Real Madrid, where he played as goalkeeper. During this time, he also enrolled in law school. He had an accident that dashed his hopes of becoming a great soccer player, but during his period in bed, he started to compose songs. He received a certificate as a lawyer from Cambridge University a little later.
In 1968, he won the Benidorm International Song Festival, a songwriter's contest in Spain, and signed a contract with a Columbia Records Latin music label, Discos Columbia. He represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1970, finishing fourth behind Northern Irish singer Dana Scallon, and the Welsh singer Mary Hopkin. His entry was the song "Gwendolyne" which was his first recording. During the 1970s he married the Spanish-mestiza Philippine socialite Isabel Preysler with whom he had three children: Chabeli Iglesias, who has been a show host and is now a news reporter in Washington D.C., Enrique Iglesias, now a world-famous singer who followed in his father's footsteps, and Julio José Iglesias, a model who has released two CDs. It was during the 1970s that the Iglesias family's private life became very public, with Julio and the rest of the family frequently featured on the covers of various international magazines.
Peak of success 1978-1990
In 1978, he signed a contract for CBS International, adding English, French, Portuguese, German and Italian to his language repertoire. He had his first hit in English with a cover of "Begin the Beguine" and released a collection Julio in 1983 building his reputation.
In 1984, he released the smash hit album 1100 Bel Air Place, which gave him considerable fame in English-language markets. The album sold three million albums in the US alone, with the first single "To All The Girls I've Loved Before", a duet with Willie Nelson reaching the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured "All of You", a hit duet with Diana Ross.
In 1985, his father was kidnapped but found well and alive after two agonizing weeks. This prompted Julio, who had already divorced Preysler, to move his family to Miami, Florida, where they settled in a mansion at Miami Beach. That year he also recorded duets with Diana Ross and Willie Nelson. It was rumored in 1986 that Julio, perhaps seeking to get away from all the fame and hoopla for one week, was found walking around the streets of Cayey, Puerto Rico, after disappearing for seven days. Julio feels there is a deep connection between him and Puerto Rico because one of his grandmothers was Puerto Rican.
Iglesias won a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in the 1988 Grammy Awards for the album Un Hombre Solo ("A Single Man"). He also recorded a duet with Stevie Wonder on "My Love" from his Non Stop album which achieved crossover success in 1988.
Stories of Julio's expensive private jets, boats, and houses became legendary during that decade, and his world tours took him to many countries and continents around the world performing in many sold out concerts among the vast women populations.
Career 1990-today
In the 1990s, Julio went back to his Spanish music roots, and in 1996, he released a CD nicknamed Tango. He is slowly stepping out of the limelight now and enjoying his son Enrique's popularity, together with his long-time companion Miranda and their 2 sons Miguel Alejandro (September 7, 1997), Rodrigo (April 3, 1999) and twin daughters Cristina and Victoria (May 1, 2001). Julio is very amenable to signing autographs, although he can be a little difficult to reach sometimes, due to his and his family's security detail, which they have had since the 1985 kidnapping of Julio's father.
Iglesias returned to the headlines in October, 2003, when he went to Argentina and kissed show host Susana Gimenez three times during a live telecast of her show.
2003 saw the release of the Spanish album "Divorcio." (Divorce) In its first day of sales, "Divorcio" sold a record 350,000 copies in Spain; and quickly reached the #1 spot on the charts in Spain, Portugal, France,Italy, and Russia.
The remainder of 2003 and early 2004 featured a mega 10 month world tour; which took Iglesias, fuled with the success of "Divorcio" from Europe and Asia to The United States, South America, and Africa. More than half the shows on the tour sold out within days of going on sale, showing that fans still adore Julio.
In December of 2004, Miranda and Julio recorded a duet of the Christmas song Silent Night. The song, which was not released also included a voice message from Julio, Miranda, and their 4 young children. The song was released online through the singer's web page, and was a holiday gift from the Iglesias' to their fans around the world.
Julio has made important investments in the Dominican Republic's eastern town of Punta Cana, a major tourist destination, where he spends most of the year when he is not on tour.
Julio, Jr. has a half-brother who is 60 years younger than him. Julio's father, Julio Sr. had a child at 89 called Jaime. The birth came after a 17-year romance with Ronna, which culminated in them walking down the aisle in 2001. His wife underwent fertility treatment in order to conceive first time around and medical science is believed to have played a role in her latest pregnancy too. After little Jaime made his debut in 2004, Julio Sr. rejected suggestions Ronna was the driving force behind their decision to start a family. "At my age, a child is marvellous," he declared. "If people say I just did it for my wife, I don't take it as an insult, but the truth is I wanted it just as much as her." Julio Iglesias's father died just days after he announced he was to become a father for the fourth time at the age of 90. Julio Sr. died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Madrid. Julio Sr. confirmed that his wife of four years, Ronna Kneit, was expecting their second child together. He said he wanted his 42-year-old partner to have something to remember him by. "My wife wanted it and I owed it to her," he explained. "It was an act of generosity towards her. I leave her part of my blood, of my life. I need her so much that I said to her 'Here, this is what you wanted for when I am gone'."
Currently, Julio is in the studio recording a new English Album titled "Romantic Classics" which is due out in September of 2006. Romantic Classics is a series of the greatest love songs in American culture, and features the hits "I want to know what love is", "Careless Whisper", and "Right Here Waiting" all major hits of the past 20 years. A series of promotional events, followed by a world tour will help promote the album after its release.
The singer's web page [1] is currently under construction, and will feature information from "Romantic Classics" when it is updated later this year.

Mon pauvre cœur
Julio Iglesias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mon pauvre cœur,
Tu ne dis rien,
Mais en silence
Tu restes avec ton chagrin.
Mon pauvre cœur,
Seul dans ton coin,
Tu y repenses,
Tu t'accroches à elle en vain.
Elle est ailleurs,
Elle est si loin.
Peu lui importe
Si ton soleil s'est éteint.
Elle est sans cœur,
Elle appartient
A tous les autres.
Tu l'attends vraiment pour rien.
Elle nous oublie
Sûrement déjà.
Elle nous oublie...
Oublions la! Mais toi, fidèle,
Tu bats pour elle...
Moi j'ai mal quand tu pleures,
Mon pauvre cœur.
Mon pauvre cœur,
Tu te souviens
De ses "je t'aime" qui venaient se fondre aux miens.
Mon pauvre cœur,
Il faudra bien
Que tu comprennes
Qu'elle et moi c'est déjà loin.
Elle nous oublie
Sûrement déjà.
Elle nous oublie...
Oublionsla!
Tu ne dis rien,
Mais en silence
Tu restes avec ton chagrin.
Mon pauvre cœur,
Seul dans ton coin,
Tu y repenses,
Elle est ailleurs,
Elle est si loin.
Peu lui importe
Si ton soleil s'est éteint.
Elle est sans cœur,
Elle appartient
A tous les autres.
Tu l'attends vraiment pour rien.
Elle nous oublie
Sûrement déjà.
Elle nous oublie...
Oublions la! Mais toi, fidèle,
Tu bats pour elle...
Moi j'ai mal quand tu pleures,
Mon pauvre cœur.
Mon pauvre cœur,
Tu te souviens
De ses "je t'aime" qui venaient se fondre aux miens.
Mon pauvre cœur,
Il faudra bien
Que tu comprennes
Qu'elle et moi c'est déjà loin.
Elle nous oublie
Sûrement déjà.
Elle nous oublie...
Oublionsla!
The song "Mon pauvre cœur" by Julio Iglesias talks about the pain of heartbreak and the feelings of being left behind by someone you love. Throughout the song, Julio addresses his heart, which is saddened and silent as it deals with the grief of losing someone. He sings that the heart holds onto the memory of the lost love, even though it knows that this love is gone and they will never be together again.
The lyrics speak of a woman who has moved on from the relationship and now belongs to someone else. The heart, however, remains faithful and continues to love her despite her absence. The pain of being forgotten is palpable in the lyrics, and the song ends with Julio acknowledging the need to move on, despite the loyalty and love in his heart for her.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the loss of love and the bitter-sweetness of holding on to memories of a past relationship. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing, sadness, and loss, which are universal emotions that many people can relate to.

@layansarayra5655
My poor heart, you don't say anything
But in silence, you rest with your sorrow
My poor heart, lonely in your corner
You think back, you hold on to her in vain
She is away, she is so far
Little does she care if your sun went out
She is without heart, she belongs to all the men
You wait for her truly in vain
She has forgotten us, surely she has
She has forgotten us, let us forget about her...
But the faithful you, you beat for her
I am in pain when you cry
My poor heart
My poor heart, you remember her "I love you"s
Which already disappeared into mine
My poor heart, it is a must
That you understand that "she and me" is already far away
She has forgotten us, surely she has
She has forgotten us, let us forget about her...
But the faithful you, you beat for her
I am in pain when you cry
My poor heart
Other suns will light up
Other "I love you"s will ignite you
Forget her laugh, we can move on
Towards other new places of joy
Trust me, my heart
But the faithful you, you beat for her
I am in pain when you cry
My poor heart
