I was wracking the sieve brain for other Spanish-language songs that hit big in the US after 1970 aside from "Porque Te Vas," but couldn't think of this one. Sure has been a relative lack since, at least "across all platforms" or without a Spanglish mix ("Living la Vida Loca", Shakira's US hits).

A beautiful song!
It sure takes me back to the early '70s.

Love this song. It always affected me emotionally, though I never knew what it meant. Your post prompted me to look up the English lyrics. Thank you.
Todd--what about "Oye Como Va" by Santana? Or "Nena" by Malo?
