Vicente Fernández-- the King of Ranchero

. . .deserves a Friday entertainment post all to himself.  He's retired now, but what a voice.  We have two videos from this beloved singer.  "Por tu amor maldito" (for your damned love--English translation at the bottom of the page) and "A Mi Manera" (Spanish language version of "My Way" from Mr. Fernández' last concert in 2016).

His last performance (2016) "A Mi Manera"

A touching story from Reuters Entertainment

Mexico's beloved Vicente Fernandez bids farewell with concert

Youthful Vicente does the smoldering eyes . . .

For your damned love 

The day I found you I fell in love

You know I've never disclaimed it 

Cruelly you managed to drive me crazy

And illusioned, I fell into your trap

Suddenly, all of that was over

You failed on the promise of adoring each other

You drowned me in oblivion for believing

That to you, the years would never come

For your damned love

I can't end with so much afflictions

I wish to blow up even my veins

For your damned love

For your damned love

Because of your damned love

I can't adjust my feelings

And my soul keeps draining

Because of your damned love

For your damned love

And now what do I want the grave for?!

If you already buried me in life

I don't want you ever to come back, no

I'd rather hold defeat between my hands

If yesterday I pronounced your name so many times

Look at me today, breaking my lips

For your damned love

I can't end with so much afflictions

I wish to blow up even my veins

For your damned love

Thanks to your damned love

I can't adjust my feelings

And my soul keeps being drained

Because of your damned love

Because of your damned love

Because of your blessed love.
