This haunts me, the song, and the singer

Llorando

sung by Rebekah Del Rio

 

Yo estaba bien por un tiempo
volviendo a sonreír
Luego anoche te vi
tu mano me tocó
y el saludo de tu voz
Y hablé muy bien
y tú sin saber
que he estado
llorando por tu amor
llorando por tu amor
Luego de tu adiós
sentí todo mi dolor
Sola y llorando, llorando, llorando
No es fácil de entender
que al verte otra vez
yo esté llorando

Yo que pensé que te olvidé
pero es verdad, es la verdad
que te quiero aun más
mucho más que ayer
Dime tú que puedo hacer
¿No me quieres ya?
Y siempre estaré
llorando por tu amor
llorando por tu amor
Tu amor se llevó
todo mi corazón
Y quedo llorando, llorando, llorando, llorando

Thank you for the comments Amnesiac and the wonderful links Smile . I am still quite new to David Lynch's films but have heard of them. Mulholland Drive was my first such viewing, a first and unforgettable experience. Now I know that if I can't grasp his complex storyline, I know who to ask..

Brilliant! One of my all time favourite films. Did you realize that she is'nt actually singing in the film. She mimes her own performance recorded at an earlier time. That is what the whole scene is about, the illusion, you hear the sound but there is no singing. A very impressive mime though, you would think that it is easy to mime yourself but it is still quite difficult.

Lynch is the master of creating brilliantly haunting song sequences. Others include:

Blue Velvet- Dean Stockwell miming In Dreams by Roy Orbison-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CSoWg3nBeU&feature=related

Twin peaks- many scenes, particually Nightingale but I couldn't find it on youtube so-

I am David Lynch's biggest fan so if you have any questions about anything to do with his work (including songs etc) don't hesitate to ask.

I don't understand the words of the song, Goran, but I like that beat!

Ah thank you. I'm obsessed by it Smile . The performance is featured in the movie "Mulholland Drive" directed by David Lynch. As is typical of his work, a dark, surreal, disturbing film that speaks on many levels.

I could not sleep last night and browsing through YouTube's spanish songs, I discovered this song by Rebekah Del Rio. The soaring vocals and aching song sung a capella have been described as one of the most heart-wrenching musical performances in a film.

Sometimes in life, we come across something that leaves a powerful, profound impression on us. In my life, this performance is one of those things.

If you'd like to listen, here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLhbf-K10IM&mode=related&search=

I don't know how to place the lyrics in English in the empty space below Senora del Rio's picture, so here it is:

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying

It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you

Yes, now you're gone
And, from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yes, crying, crying
Over you
