This is the poem by Garcilaso where the title of the song is taken.

Escrito está en mi alma vuestro gesto
y cuanto yo escriir de vos deseo
vos sola lo escribistes; yo lo leo
tan solo, que aun de vos me guardo en esto

En esto estoy y estaré siempre puesto
que unue no cabe en mi cuanto en vos veo,
de tanto bien lo que no entiendo creo,
tomando ya la fe por presupuesto.

Yo no nací sino para quereros;
mi alma os ha cortado a su medida;
por hábito del alma misma os quiero;

cuanto tengo confieso yo deberos;
por vos nací, por vos tengo la vida,
por vos he de morir, y por vos muero.

Garcilaso de la Vega (1501-1536)

Thanks quique.

I am sure that there has been a lot of theater and opera done about "Por Vos Muero" since Garcilaso wrote the poem about 500 years ago.Bosé himself sang at a "Por Vos Muero" theater play in the mid nineties.

Quique,did you watch the "Por Vos Muero" concert on DVD?I did,and it was absolutely spectacular.

You know,I had never seen Bosé in concert before; but now after having watched him perform I have truly realized what a great artist he is.Not only can he sing like the best of them but he also dances,does mimes,makes poses,does theater,tells jokes and anecdotes and he just wins you over with that great smile of his.But the thing that I like about him the most is that he puts an enormous amount of emotion into his songs.

They can say all they want about him.That he is gay,bisexual,trisexual,controversial... but he sure can sing like hell.

Try to find a Bose´s song from the earlies 80's called Don Diablo. Uncredible.

Yes,"Don Diablo" is a very cool and funny song.I have it on a ´CD called "Leyendas, solamente los Mejores" that has his most important songs from the early days.Great hits like "Linda","Te Amaré","Amante Bandido","Esclavo de tus ojos" etc are also in there.

Another favorite of mine from his early days is.........SEVILLA!!!

Media luna brillará
la navaja acechará
ojos bravos de mujer
que veneno fué?
Celo macho África
tu abanico se ensangrentará
a mi sino fiel seré
que veneno fué?

El corazon que a Triana vá
nunca volverá
Sevilla...
con que pasión te enamorará
y te embujará
Sevilla...

Ese Méjico!!!

Miguel Bosé(lo máximo)will be in concert at the remodeled/reconstructed Palacio de los Deportes of Madrid on June 30th.
