After temporary problems with Juan Gabriel she recorded a Mexican music album with Marco Antonio Solís and had similar success.

Contigo Aprendi
Rocío Dúrcal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que existen nuevas y mejores emociones
Contigo aprendí
A conocer un mundo lleno de ilusiones
Aprendí
Que la semana tiene más de siete días
A hacer mayores mis contadas alegrías
Y a ser dichosa, yo contigo lo aprendí
A ver la luz del otro lado de la luna
Contigo aprendí
Que es dichosa no la cambio por ninguna
Aprendí que puede un beso ser más dulce
Y más profundo
Que puedo irme mañana mismo de este mundo
Las cosas buenas ya contigo las viví
Y contigo aprendí
Que yo nací el día en que te conocí
Y contigo aprendí
Que yo nací el día en que te conocí
