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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el diario amargo de mi desencanto,
Amor que sembraste un día,
Rosas de esperanza en el alma mía,
Amor que llegaste riendo,
Amor que te vas llorando,
Ayer de dicha cantando,
Tu querer fue un cariño como de santo,
Tibia luz en las noches de mi extravío,
Te adoré y a pesar de quererte tanto,
Hoy me has enseñado, que amor se escribe con llanto.
Amor se escribe con llanto
En el diario amargo de mi desencanto,
Amor que sembraste un día,
Rosas de esperanza en el alma mía,
Amor que llegaste riendo,
Amor que te vas llorando,
Ayer de dicha cantando,
Hoy sin ilusiones, con mi tristeza muriendo
Tu querer fue un cariño como de santo,
Tibia luz en las noches de mi extravío,
Te adoré y a pesar de quererte tanto,
Hoy me has enseñado, que amor se escribe con llanto.(Bis)

En el amor hay llanto.què duda cabe, cuando la persona ya no està, quizàs baste con recordar las alegrìas, las persona que amamos podràn irse, pero los recuerdos quedaràn por siempre. Tras el llanto, vendràn las alegrìas del recuerdo. Gracias ROSIEL POR DARME ESTA CANCIÒN.
