Selena Lyrics
Por ti estoy aquí tan triste y derrotada
Te vi partir y hoy mi vida ya no vale nada
Te quiero a ti, y nunca seré feliz
Hasta que vuelvas a mi lado
Recuerdos de un cariño, que siempre están conmigo
De un gran amor que dio alegría a mi corazón
Pero ya no estás, y mi llanto es cada día más
Quisiera verte junto a mí
¿De qué me sirve mi vida si no estás?
Recuerdos de un cariño, que siempre están conmigo
De un gran amor que dio alegría a mi corazón
Pero en realidad, tu amor jamás será
Solo un recuerdo soy de ti
Yo sé que nunca volverás
¿De qué me sirve mi vida si no estás?
Recuerdos de un cariño, que siempre están conmigo
De un gran amor que dio alegría a mi corazón
Pero en realidad, tu amor jamás será
Solo un recuerdo soy de ti, ah, baby
Solo un recuerdo soy de ti

Selena Quintanilla-Pérez (April 16, 1971 - March 31, 1995), known mononymously as Selena, was a Mexican-American singer who is regarded as one of the biggest stars of the Tejano genre of music. She was born in Lake Jackson, Texas and grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, where she began her musical career. Her father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., was a singer with the original Los Dinos from 1957-1972, and nurtured the burgeoning musical talent of his children. Read Full BioSelena Quintanilla-Pérez (April 16, 1971 - March 31, 1995), known mononymously as Selena, was a Mexican-American singer who is regarded as one of the biggest stars of the Tejano genre of music. She was born in Lake Jackson, Texas and grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, where she began her musical career. Her father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., was a singer with the original Los Dinos from 1957-1972, and nurtured the burgeoning musical talent of his children. Selena, her brother Abe III (bass), and their sister, Suzette (drums), were a second generation of Los Dinos. Its other two members who started in the band were Ricky Vela on keyboards and Roger Garcia on guitar.
Selena made her first public appearance at her father's Mexican restaurant in Lake Jackson at eight and recorded her first record at nine. Throughout her adolescence Selena was constantly on tour. She completed her education via correspondence courses. The singer signed with Capitol EMI in 1989, and released several albums with that label, including 1994's wildly popular 'Amor Prohibido'.
Chris Perez replaced Roger Garcia as guitar player. A romance budded between Perez and Selena, and the two married on April 2, 1992. Even as Selena's career skyrocketed she remained very close to her family, choosing to live next door to them in Corpus Christi.
Selena holds the record of drawing the biggest concert crowd in the history of the Houston Astrodome, for her February 1995 performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
The greatest irony in Selena's musical career is that she became a star singing in her second language. Her first language was English, not Spanish.
Aside from her singing, Selena was an avid clothing designer. Boutique shops with the Selena name opened in Corpus Christi and San Antonio in 1994. She also dabbled in acting, making a cameo in the Johnny Depp film 'Don Juan de Marco'.
A woman named Yolanda Saldívar worked her way into the singer's inner circle, becoming president of Selena's fan club and manager of the boutiques. In 1995 the Quintanillas found out Saldivar had embezzled money from these ventures and decided to fire her. Selena agreed to meet Saldivar at a Corpus Christi Days Inn on the morning of March 31, 1995 in order to retrieve paperwork for tax purposes. At the motel an argument ensued over the embezzlement and Saldivar shot the singer once in the back. Selena died within hours at a local hospital.
Selena's death shocked and saddened Tejano fans in Latin communities throughout the United States and in Mexico. Numerous vigils and memorials were held in the singer's honor. That summer her album 'Dreaming of You', a combination of Spanish language hits and new English language tracks, debuted at #1 on the Billboard music charts in the US.
In October of 1995 a Houston jury convicted Saldívar of murder and sentenced her to life in prison, with parole eligibility in thirty years.
There is a museum to honor Selena's memory and a bronze life-sized statue of her on Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi. In 1997, Jennifer Lopez played Selena in the movie of the same name. The movie became the basis in which Lopez rose to superstardom.
In December 2020, Netflix released "Selena: The Series", together with Selena's family in production, based on her life in childhood, before fame, her space in the music industry and her importance for the Latin scenary, played by Christian Serratos. The series contains 2 parts with 18 episodes in total. The second and final part was released in May 2021.

This song was originally recorded in Japanese in the '60's, and Mr. Quintanilla said that he thought that a Spanish version of the song "would be nice". "Nice" is an understatement - it's absolutely beautiful, and proof that no style of music, regardless of the country of its origin, was beyond Selena's incredible talent. The song was originally more up - tempo, but she slowed it down a bit, which, to me, made it even more emotional. It's basically about someone whose lover has left them, and is remembering the times they had together, while knowing that they will never be together again.
