A romantic ballad about an unbreakable bond and living in a "new world".

A classic of unrequited love and the pain of being told "I don't love you anymore".

Born on January 19, 1926, in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato—the cradle of Mexican independence—Jiménez's life was marked by early hardship. Following the death of his father when José Alfredo was just ten years old, his family moved to Mexico City, where they lived in near destitution.

José Alfredo Jiménez (1926–1973) is widely revered as the "King of Rancheras" and stands as the most prolific composer in the history of Mexican popular music. Despite having no formal musical training and being unable to play an instrument, Jiménez composed over 1,000 songs that captured the emotional essence of the Mexican experience, ranging from raw heartbreak and rural pride to unyielding resilience.
