Mexico's most famous ranchera singer, Lucha Villa earned more notice than Lola Beltran thanks to a long, successful film career in addition to her recording work. Born in the Chihuahua state town of Ciudad Camargo in the mid-'30s, young Luz Elena Bejarano entered a number of talent contests and was dubbed Lucha Villa by television producer Luis Dillon (the name is a contraction of Pancho Villa and the Chihuahua village where he spent time). Her biggest early hit (1961) was a version of the José Alfredo Jiménez standard "Media Vuelta," and after several minor film roles, she became a star with the 1965 cockfighting feature El Gallo de Oro.
As with her music, Villa specialized in rural and ranchera pictures, a genre especially connected to American audiences familiar with Westerns. During the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, she recorded dozens of albums and appeared in dozens of pictures, including the 1973 screwball comedy Mecánica Nacional, which won the Ariel award (Mexico's version of the Oscar). She also recorded songbook tributes to Jiménez and Juan Gabriel, and was saluted herself by Gabriel for his 1996 Las Tres Señoras (with Lola Beltran and Amalia Mendoza). Villa still continued performing occasionally even after suffering a heart attack during surgery in 1997. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Este amor, sin igual, no se puede acabar, si lo dejas, llorando,
Yo te pienso querer, mas bonito que ayer, y por toda la vida,
Yo te voy a enseñar, como debes amar, cuando todo se olvida
Esta noche de amor, yo seré para ti, lo que tanto has soñado,
Esta noche de amor, tu serás para mi, lo que nunca he encontrado,
No te vayas así, dame un poco de ti, te lo estoy suplicando,
Te lo estoy suplicando, no me dejes llorando
Esta noche de amor, yo seré para ti, lo que tanto has soñado,
Esta noche de amor,
Tu serás para mi , lo que nunca he encontrado,
No te vayas así, dame un poco de ti, te lo estoy suplicando,
Este amor sin igual, no se puede acabar, si lo dejas llorando,
No te vayas así, dame un poco de ti
