Born Eduardo Mora Hernandez in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, Mora began singing at the age of four -- and by the time he was in his mid-teens, he was earning some money singing in local bars, restaurants, and clubs. Mora started using Lalo Mora as his stage name as a teenager, and it was also during his adolescent years that he enjoyed a small local following as half of a vocal duo called Lupe & Lalo (which also included singer Guadalupe Mendoza). Mora got a major break in 1980, when he was invited to join the norteño group los Invasores de Nuevo León as a lead vocalist. Los Invasores de Nuevo León were a new group at the time but went on to become a big name in regional Mexican music, and their success brought Mora a great deal of exposure in both Mexico and the United States. In 1993, Mora left los Invasores de Nuevo León to become a full-time solo artist (he was replaced by Isaías Lucero, who was replaced by Rigoberto Marroquín four years later in 1997). Leaving a group as visible as los Invasores de Nuevo León was a gamble for Mora, but it was a gamble that paid off for him commercially; as a solo artist, he became even more famous in the regional Mexican market. Mora built a huge catalog of solo albums, recording for Fonovisa Records (one of the top labels in regional Mexican music) extensively in the '90s and early to mid-2000s. And in the mid- to late 2000s, Mora provided a lot of solo albums for Disa Records (another label that is a major-league player in the regional Mexican market). In the 21st century, Mora's son Lalo Mora, Jr. has followed in his father's footsteps and pursued a career in music. The 2000s found the younger Mora working as the lead singer/bajo sexto player for los Herederos de Nuevo León, a norteño group with a strong Invasores de Nuevo León connection; in los Herederos de Nuevo León, Lalo Mora, Jr. has performed alongside accordion player Javier Rios, Jr., who is the son of singer/accordion player Javier Rios, Sr. (a founding member of los Invasores de Nuevo León). Lalo Mora, Sr. and Javier Rios, Sr.; had spent 13 years performing together in los Invasores de Nuevo León -- and after reaching adulthood, Lalo Mora, Jr. and Javier Rios, Jr. ended up performing together in los Herederos de Nuevo León.
Solo Dios
Lalo Mora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que el sol te abrace, o te niegue su calor
Y que la estrella que radiante te persigue
Brille más fuerte o se apague solo Dios
A Dios le dije muchas veces ya mi queja
Lo que me duele, tus infamias a mi amor
Y ví el milagro ya tu amor reír me deja
Si tengo fuerzas para olvidarte solo Dios
Mi sentimiento, mi fe y mi devoción
Y hasta la vida, sin pensar te hubiera dado
Al fin y al cabo, te había dado el corazón
Ya ni te sueño, ni llorando me desvelo
De vez en cuando, tu recuerdo es un fulgor
Ni te maldigo, ni castigo pido al cielo
Se esta muriendo con tu amor este dolor
Ni te perdono, ni te odio, ni te quiero
Ni creo que el mundo como ayer es de los dos
La paz del alma no se compra con dinero
La paz del alma la regala solo Dios
In the song "Solo Dios" by Lalo Mora, the singer is expressing an emotional turmoil as a consequence of a failed relationship. The lyrics begin with a wish for divine intervention, whether it is for the person to be judged, forgiven, or punished, and for the universe to reflect that justice, either by providing warmth or withering away. The Almighty is invoked frequently throughout the song, as the singer tries to let go of the pain of heartbreak and find serenity in his soul. He implores God to alleviate his agony and pleas for the strength to forget his lost love. He reflects on his sacrifices, including giving the person his heart, faith, and devotion, and how futile they seem now that the relationship has crumbled. Despite feeling hurt and betrayed, the singer acknowledges that neither hatred nor forgiveness can help him heal, but only the grace of a higher power can bring him relief.

mis respetos para el sr.EDUARDO MORA con estas hermosas canciones ke Dios me lo siga concervando para ke siga cantandole al desamor,y tambien le deceo ke algun dia se decida grabar un disco de cantos tradicionales,como lo ha hecho:alfonzo villagomez,los alegres de teran,nacho galindo,y muchos artistas del genero norteno...y asi tener publico en el mundo cecular y el mundo religioso.
