Beginning with their first record, 1948's "Corrido de Pepito," the group pioneered rich, harmonic norteño corridos and rancheras, along with Los Cadetes de Linares and Los Tremendos Gavilanes. They recorded over a hundred LPs and had hits with many songs, including "Carta Jugada," "Alma Enamorada," and "Entre Copa y Copa." The band also indulged in cross-marketing moves, including a spot on the bill at the first Polka Festival, held in Chicago during the mid-'60s, and an appearance in several movies, notably, the 1961 melodrama Pueblito, directed by Emilio "El Indio" Fernández. Los Alegres de Terán were inducted into the Tejano Conjunto Hall of Fame in 1983, though Abrego passed away five years later.
Un Viejo Amor
Los Alegres De Terán Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Igual que penas de amores
Ase tiempo tuve anelos
Alegrias y sin sabores
Al mirar aquellos ojos
Me decian casi llorando
No te olvides vida mia
De lo que te estoy cantando
No se olvida ni se aleja
De un viejo amor de nuestra alma si se aleja pero nunca die adios un viejo amor
A pasado mucho tiempo
Y otra vez vi aquellos ojos
Me miraron con desprecio riamente y sin enojos
Al mirar aquellos ojos
Ojos que a mi me lloraron
Pregunte que si con el tiempo
Mi recuerdos a olvidado
De un viejo amor
No se olvida ni se aleja
De un viejo amor de niestras almas si se alejan pero nunca dise adios un viejo amor
The above lyrics are from Los Alegres De Terán's song "Un Viejo Amor," which translates to "An Old Love" in English. The song speaks about an old love that the singer has not been able to forget. The love is described as having black eyes like tears of love, and although much time has passed since the singer has seen those eyes, they still hold significance in their heart.
The lyrics also mention that the singer saw those eyes again, but this time, they were met with disdain and indifference. When the singer asked if time had erased their memories, the response is that an old love never fades away or says goodbye, it may recede in the background of our minds, but it holds a special place in our hearts forever.
The lyrics capture the universal feeling of longing for an old flame, and how memories from the past can still hold power and significance in our present. This theme has resonated with many listeners over time, making "Un Viejo Amor" a classic in the world of Mexican folk music.
