Ya me canso de llorar y no amanhece
Ya no sé si maldecirte o por ti rezar
Tengo miedo de buscarte y de encontrarte
Donde me aseguran mis amigos que te vas
Hay momentos en que quisiera mejor rajarme
Y arrancarme ya los clavos de mi penar
Pero mis ojos se mueren sin mirar tus ojos
Y mi cariño con la aurora te vuelve a esperar
Ya agarraste por tu cuenta la parranda
Paloma negra paloma negra dónde, dónde andarás?
Ya no juegues con mi honrra parrandera
Si tus caricias han de ser mías, de nadie más
Y aunque te amo con locura, ya no vuelvas
Paloma negra eres la reja de un penar
Quiero ser libre, vivir mi vida con quien yo quiera
Dios dame fuerza que me estoy muriendo por irlo a buscar
Ya agarraste por tu cuenta las parrandas

No me platiques más
Lo que debió pasar
Antes de conocernos
Sé que has tenido, horas felices
Aun sin estar conmigo
No quiero ya saber
Que pudo suceder
En todos estos años
Que tú has vivido con otras gentes
Lejos de mi cariño
Te quiero tanto que
me encelo
Hasta de lo que pudo ser
Y me figuro que por eso
Es que yo vivo, tan intranquilo
No me platiques ya
Déjame imaginar
Que no existe el pasado
Y que nacimos, el mismo instante
En que nos conocimos
Te quiero tanto que
me encelo
Hasta de lo que pudo ser
Y me figuro que or eso
Es que yo vivo, tan intranquilo
No me platiques ya
Dejame imaginar
Que no exite el pasado
Y que nacimos, el mismo instante
En que nos conocimos.

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August
16, 1977), also known simply as Elvis, was an American singer, musician and
actor. He is regarded as one of the most significant cultural iconsof the 20th century and is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or
simply "the King". His energized interpretations of songs and
sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix
of influences across color lines during a transformative
era in race relations, led him to great success—and
initial controversy.
Presley was born in Tupelo,
Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis,
Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old.
His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Recordswith producer Sam
Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American
musicto a wider audience. Presley, on
rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Mooreand bassist Bill Black,
was a pioneer of rockabilly,
an uptempo, backbeat-driven
fusion of country musicand rhythm and blues.
In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontanajoined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victoracquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel
Tom Parker, who would manage him for more
than two decades. Presley's
first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January
1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. With a
series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records,
he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut
in Love
Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley
relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most
commercially successful work. He held few concerts, however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to
devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most
of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year
break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed
television comeback special Elvis,
which led to an extended Las Vegasconcert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973,
Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the
world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription
drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his
Gracelandestate at the age of 42.
With his rise from poverty to significant
fame, Presley's success seemed to epitomize the American Dream.
He is the best-selling solo music artist of all time,
and was commercially successful in many genres, including pop,
country, R&B, adult
contemporary, and gospel.
He won three Grammy Awards,
received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awardat age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
Presley holds several records; the most RIAAcertified
goldand platinum albums, the most albums charted on the Billboard 200,
and the most number-one albums and number-one singles on the UK Albums Chartand UK Singles Chart,
respectively. In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

You look like an
angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
You fooled me with
your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an
angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in
disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
I thought that I was
in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes
You look like an
angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
You're the devil in
disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise.

Oh, my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
I was a pretty young
girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul
Why was I such a
young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul
I thought thought
that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul
Here I am waiting for
a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
