Joan Manuel Serrat -La mujer que yo quiero

one of his most old beautiful songs
La mujer que yo quiero-the woman that i love
beautiful romantic song by the famous spanish singer Joan Manuel Serrat.
a little about him.

Joan Manuel Serrat (27 December 1943) is a Spanish singer-songwriter.
Serrat is considered one of the most important figures of modern, popular music in both the Spanish and Catalan languages. He became involved with music at the age of 17, when he got his first guitar, to which he dedicates one of his earliest songs, "Una guitarra."

In the early 60's, the young artist participated in a pop band, playing along with classmates at Barcelona's Agronomy School and performing mainly Beatles songs and Italian 'pop-of-the-era' songs translated to Spanish.

In 1965, while singing in a radio show called Radioscope, host Salvador Escamilla helped him secure a record deal with local label Edigsa, where he recorded his first LP, as well as joining the group Els Setze Jutges.

Joan Manuel Serrat's first live stage performance in 1967 at the Palau de la Música Catalana, served to establish him as one of the most important artists inside the Nova cançó movement in Catalonia.

The following year, Spain entered Serrat in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 to sing "La, la, la", but he asked to sing it in Catalan, to which the Spanish authorities would not agree. This would be the first time he would come into conflict with the language politics of Francoist Spain, because of his decision to sing in his native Catalan language, repressed by dictator Francisco Franco. Defiantly, Serrat refused to sing the Spanish-language version, and was hurriedly replaced by Massiel, who went on to win the contest with her Spanish-language interpretation.

As a result, Serrat's songs were banned and his records burned in the streets. He then traveled to South America and participated in the Rio de Janeiro's World Music Festival, where he took first place with the song "Penélope."

Lyrics and music by Joan Manuel Serrat
(Translation made by Coby Lubliner)


Well, the woman I love does not think she oughtta
Take a bath every evening in holy water.
She's got oodles of faults, or so says my mother,
She's got too many bones, or so says my father.
But she's more truthful than the truth that is golden.
My love is like the love of times that are olden.
So as to know it,
Now, the woman I love doesn't need - she's not crazy -
To pluck the petals, one by one, from a daisy..

Yes, the woman I love is a fruit full of flavor,
Caught up in my soul as though nothing could save her.
My friends want to be with me when I am with her
And my enemies find their life getting bitter...
'Cause without your wanting, you're caught in her cooing
And in her warmth your pride will find its undoing
And your shame also...
Yes, the woman I love is a fruit full of flavor
Ripening sweet and happy, vain in her favor.

Now, the woman I love has me on her tether
So that we two can plant the whole earth together
With love that speaks to us with the voice of a scholar
And has a woman's skin and her lips and her color.
All my old friends are hers, along with the others:
My dog and my Scalextric and my old lovers.
Poor little Johnny...
Yes, the woman I love has me on her tether,
But I ask you: please, don't tell it to her ever.

Excuse me but do you know who's following your videos and mark them with "red fingers"?? You have already two on this video.

Who are the frustrated "admirers" of yours who, instead of learning something from your creations are only marking them. With RED.

I don't want to be indecent, using vulgar words, but I have a very appropriate term to define them ..... And I am advising them to mind their own business and stop doing dirty things. They are pathetic and I feel pity for them.

[ossama2000il]

@ancaburg dear Anca it is like this since a long time,but i won't close this option,who is doing that is only hurting himself or herself and not hurting me at all,i am really satisfied with what i am doing:).

Gracias a Dios, que hablo la graciosa lengua de Cervantes, si no me perdería de mucho :)

Esta cancion es todo un poema... Nada que ver con la basura que se escucha hoy en las emisoras.... aquellos 70's, 80's que nunca volveran.

[edalbu1]

Eres la mujer que yo quiero para pasar el resto de mis días para darte felicidad y desicarte todos y cada uno de mis días.

Hoy cumplimos 5 meses de Amarnos y quiero y deseo con todo mi corazón que sean muchos anos. Feliz 5to. Mes.

Te amo mi monumento de mujer hermosa
