At a very young age, Yuri showed artistic interest and she was accepted to a famous Russian ballet. However, she wasn't allowed to join because her parents were afraid of the prospect of little Yuri living in a foreign country.

When Yuri was 12, she participated in two famous Mexican television children's shows for Televisa, including the Cepillin show.

In the late 1970s, she released her first album and represented Mexico in the Festival Oti, reaching second place and winning an award as the best newcomer to the contest. In 1980, she was signed to a contract by Gamma Records, and her career took off, becoming widely known in Spain, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Argentina, and many other hispanic countries. But before she gained international superstar status, in 1982, she participated again in the Festival OTI, earning a fourth place.

During the rest of the 1980s, Yuri's albums often reached the top, earning her over 100 gold albums in Mexico. One of Yuri's most memorable hits of the late 1980s is the disco-styled "Que Te Pasa."

In 1994, Yuri and Chayanne were the stars of the Volver a Empezar telenovela, and in 1995, she married a Chilean musician. Later, she became a born-again Christian and has made Christian albums. Although there was some controversy as she decided to sing non Christian music again.

In 2005, she was chosen to host the new TV season of a talent contest for newcoming singers, Objetivo Fama that began in 2004.

Yuri was a judge on the second season of Cantando Por un Sueño. She also was a judge during its first season and performed several times on the show.

In 2006, Yuri released an album with a Mexican singer, Mijares, called Acompañame. Its title track, Acompañame, is a sentimental romantic ballad.

Many call Yuri "La Madonna Mexicana," i.e. "The Mexican Madonna" (although this characterization has also been applied to Gloria Trevi.)

Mi Vida
Yuri Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tantas historias se han dado, desde su llegada
Que no alcanzo a comprender la magia, la que me regala
Y es por eso que me siento libre, tan enamorada
Es tan grande la verdad que llevo atada a mi alma

Hoy le canto a la vida por hacerme tan feliz
Por ser paciente, por dejarme sentir

Que tengo el cielo en mis manos, cada día
Es la forma de sentir mi vida
Teniendo a mi lado la esperanza
De alcanzar con ella una estrella
No puedo dejar de reír, ni de llorar con ella

Otra mañana que llega y tu me levantas
Me prepara el café con sueños para otra jornada
Y si un día, tu te marchas para ya no regresar
Yo te bendigo por todo lo que fui

Tener el cielo en mis manos, cada día
Es la forma de sentir mi vida
Teniendo a mi lado la esperanza
De alcanzar con ella una estrella
No puedo dejar de reír

Tener el cielo en mis manos, cada día
Es la forma de sentir mi vida
Teniendo a mi lado la esperanza
De alcanzar con ella una estrella
No puedo dejar de reír, ni de llorar con ella

Ni de llorar con ella
