She started her career as an actress, working in the theatre and in some of the most famous Spanish movies from the 1940 decade.
During the 1950s, she started singing professionaly, eventually abandoning her career as an actress in the 1960s. Since then, she has recorded more than 35 albums.
As a singer, she is specialized in traditional Spanish and Latin American music: bolero, copla, ballad, ronda, vals, and folk music (Peruvian, Argentinian, Mexican, and Venezuelan). Her voice tone is clear and slightly low, and she has an extremely proper Spanish pronunciation. She typically sings with the only company of guitars, requintos, and drums.
She singed for close to 30 years with the same group, Los Gemelos, formed by two twin brothers, Santiago López Hernández and Julián López Hernández, until the death of Santiago in the early 1990s.
Amanecí En Tus Brazos
Maria Dolores Pradera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entre tus brazos
Y desperté llorando
De alegría
Me cobijé la cara
Con tus manos
Para seguirte amando
Te despertaste tu
Casi dormido
Tú me querías decir
No sé que cosa
Pero calle tu boca
Con mis besos
Y así pasaron muchas
Muchas horas
Cuando llego la noche
Apareció la luna
Y entro por la ventana
Que cosa más bonita
Cuando la luz del cielo
Iluminó tu cara
Yo me volví a esconder
Entre tus brazos
Tú me querías decir
No sé que cosa
Pero calle tu boca
Con mis besos
Y así pasaron muchas
Muchas horas
Cuando llego la noche
Apareció la luna
Y entro por la ventana
Que cosa más bonita
Cuando la luz del cielo
Iluminó tu cara
Yo me volví a esconder
Entre tus brazos
Tú me querías decir
No sé que cosa
Pero calle tu boca
Con mis besos
Y así pasaron muchas
Muchas horas

The beginning of the song is full of tears of joy and happiness as they wake up in their lover's embrace again. The singer covers their face with their hands, and their loved one's hands to continue loving them even further.
As the day progresses, the two continue their affection by exchanging kisses and quiet conversation. When the night comes, the moon appears and the light coming through the window illuminates the loved one's face. The singer feels the need to hide again in the safety of their arms. Even though the loved one tries to say something, they are silenced by more kisses and many hours pass.
The song portrays the intense love and affection between two people who could not bear being separated from each other. The lyrics and melody are simple yet poignant, and Maria Dolores Pradera’s voice has captured the sensation of these raw emotions perfectly.
