"Mira que eres linda" is a song composed, music and lyrics, in the 1930s, by the Cuban composer Julio Brito (Julio Valdés-Brito Ibáñez), known as "The melodic painter of Cuba".
"Mira que eres linda" is a deeply emotional love ballad, written by Brito in the 1930s and first recorded in 1947. The song is about a really beautiful woman, with eyes as big as suns, with a look always in love, whose beauty is only comparable to a rose that came from heaven, so beautiful that the author by her side feels close to God.
The author tells us about his eyes and his way of looking:
He is overwhelmed by her beauty:
He believes that such beauty can only come from heaven:
This bolero achieved great success among the public of the time, both locally and internationally, immediately becoming a classic of the genre worldwide, which has been recorded countless times, generation after generation, from the 1930s to the present.
The time when Julio Brito composed âÂÂMira que eres lindaâ coincided in time with the rise of radio.
In Spain it was a great success in 1949 in the voice of Antonio MachÃÂn, a Cuban singer who enjoyed great popularity in the 30s and 40s, but it has also been recorded by other great performers such as Pedro Vargas or Raphael.
Some artists who have recorded this bolero by Julio Brito include:
Mira que eres linda,
qué preciosa eres.
Verdad que no he visto,
en mi vida muñeca,
más linda que tú.
Con esos ojazos,
que parecen soles.
Con esa mirada,
siempre enamorada,
con que miras tú.
Mira que eres linda,
qué preciosa eres.
Estando a tu lado,
verdad que me siento,
más cerca de Dios.
Porque eres divina,
tan linda y primorosa,
que solo una rosa,
caÃÂda del cielo,
fuera como tú.
