Se ha volado en la brisa tu sonrisa ................................ With the breeze, your smile has gone.

He encontrado el amor en los ecos del viento ................................ I've found love in the wind's echoes
He olvidado el temor de cambiarme los sueños ................................ I've forgotten the fear of changing my dreams
Y entre la lluvia tu figura ................................ And in the rain, your silhouette." ♫

From a chart-topping album of Mexican pop that Gloria Trevi made as a nineteen-year-old:-

It's a deceptively calm song from a woman whose stage antics were outrageous and whose private life just went right off the scale - not down the usual road of drug abuse, but because she fell in love with the serial paedofile who was her manager. Her sad saga is like a real-life OTT Mexican soap opera.

... or is it Tumbao. Both tracks have extended piano improvs, but Tumbao fades out after a mere 5 mins.
