- This is our night.

If when you were little you were told that today you would be all that you are,

surely he would not have believed it.

# All that I was is what I am #

# My light went out #

Many want but few arrive. He is one of those chosen ones.

# My loneliness and I #

# My friend, princess of an infinite tale #

# I would like to be the air that escapes from your laughter. #

He is one of the singers who has broken the most hearts.

Tell me if you're leaving, my love

# who is going to heal my broken heart. #

# People who come and go # is always her. #

# Okay, maybe I deserve it,# good.

Today we have the privilege of sharing a trip

with one of those incomparable artists.

# When nobody sees me,# I can be, or not be. #

# Stomping, stomping. #

(Music)

There are artists who, instead of with bread,

They are born with a pen and a guitar under their arm.

Hand in hand, let's go.

# Holding hands # through the streets

# And giving us a thousand kisses # in every corner. #

# I love you like this, yes, # just as you are for me. #

- Let's see what happens, let's see if I'm up to it.

We are convinced, you are always up to the task,

at least figuratively of course, a question of heels.

- Thank you very much Alexander

for being here tonight with us on the show.

- I feel a little short- It's a pleasure, nothing short

is that I wear very high heels, look, I'm going to take off this shoe.

- Don't take off your shoes, you'll catch a cold.

(Applause)

-Your story character, what was he?

- The one I liked the most? - Yes.

- Chickpea.- And, do you have any chickpea?

- Well yes, I think the height.

We don't know if it was because of the height

but the fact is that before Sanzfue Magno, now you will understand me.

- Ta chan.- Who is this?.

- Could it be Manolo Sanlúcar? - It could be.

- It could be Luis Cobos,- For example.

- or could it be Paco de Lucía?

- It's Alejandro Sanz when he was called Alexander the Great.

- Everyone has a style, right?

- You've always been writing songs for people, haven't you?

- Since forever.- Sure.

- What happens is that no one took them from me, but,

- Finally one day he recorded a demo.

And what a model!

A true collector's heirloom

It doesn't even show up on their website.

(Music)

A mixture, a bit between flamenco, pop, acid, even?

Even, it's a rare thing, it's okay, right? (LAUGHS)

# I've already told you so many times # that I give you my spring #

Later, I formed a group of Sevillanas.

(Music)

- Everything that comes after has to be better, by force.

- You realize that if I had to write albums

that tomorrow I would have to hide them from my children,

if I have them, it would be terrible.

- Is there anything left of that Alexander the Great, or has he already gone down in history?

- I discovered a gray hair, so.- Let's see,

- Let's see, ah, yes, he is already.

We all have a past but you already know what the song says.

# All that I was is what I am, # with what I came yesterday

# is what I leave with. # All that I was is what I am

# with what I came yesterday # is what I'm leaving with

# All that I was is what I am,

# with what I came yesterday # is what I'm leaving with.

# All that I was is all that I am,

# with what I came yesterday # is what I'm leaving with. #

It could be said that at some stage of his life the light went out

# The light went out, he trembled, # and he can't get to the stretcher

# I struggled to find a way out # to go listen to his heart.

# With confused hands # I can't stand up,

# didn't arrive until# the girl of my life. #

But when she turned on again it was never the same,

or almost, because nobody evolves from one day to the next.

- Big changes are always stealthy,

# I will kiss you # like no one in this world kissed you

# and I will love you # with the body and with the mind,

# with the skin and the heart.

# Come back soon, we are waiting for you # my loneliness and I

# As no one in this world kissed you,

# I will love you

# with the skin and the heart.

# My loneliness and I. #

- Image consultant? - Yes.

- What is that?

- It is clear, someone who has told you more around here, that you are going to sell

or you will like it more.

- I don't know, I think that if you asked

someone who knew me from the neighborhood all my life

It will tell you that I have always been the same, and always seen the same.

Man, the same, the same, there have been some other changes.

- I, as your song says, if you look at me, I stay dead.

# If you look at me,# if you look at me,

# the more injustice grows,# you'll see

# that are bigger # our desire to fight.

# Words of a new language# that I have built

# for us, # for the hunted lover

# That he has to hide her voice, #

We don't know how, but in the end

everything has always ended up being good.

Of course, he soon made it clear that he was more than a body

and a pretty face.

# For me it was the first,# the most beautiful melody

# for being a prisoner rose # that when touched she would die,

# that when they came out of my mouth# they kissed my lips well

# the grateful phrases. #

You can not deny us that you are with your mouth open

and that we have started stomping.

And everything, bare bones, without any anesthesia.

# Your looks are so strong, # elegant and studied

# I'm just a teenager # but I'll get inside your mind

# stomping, stomping.

# Sharing glances with the lights off

# I start to feel myself, # to feel more secure,

# stomping, stomping, #

In its beginnings, it looked like,

- You have a little urchin face.- Do I have a urchin face?

I wanted to say rascal, but well,

maybe that's another way of saying it.

The fact is that with that face of never having broken a plate

he took everyone off the street.

- He's very shy, huh? but he has a face a bit like that, of a rascal,

that the truth, I think it misleads a little.

- I was watching "Stepping hard"

- Ah yes yes.

-In other words, she was an intelligent woman already.

- Oh my life.- Don't tell me that

don't say that to me, I'm not old anymore, my son

that I am no longer old.

Look I take your word

- And besides, you smell great, hey, what did you bring me?

- Thank you very much my love.

- It is a pleasure to have you so close, - Thank you very much, and for me,

- Don't tell me that, let's not start.

- I have to say that when they told me:

Alejandro Sanz is coming to sing, don't get angry, I said: who is he?

- My name is Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro.

You see that it was difficult for him to find his place, and almost the name of it.

It is what it has to live at full speed.

- How do you live this mogollón?, Let's see- Well, living fast.

- Do you remember the moment when you said “wow”?, that is.

- Well, the day, the most emotional day for me, was that of,

that of the first concert I gave in Madrid,

at the Real Madrid Pavilion.

# I'm tired of living, # improvising for you.

# I'm tired of following you, # I'm staying here.

# I have wasted my strength, life, # living in a hurry,

# I don't give anymore, don't wait for me # I'll stay here. #

Before the techno-rumba phase,

Alejandro tried out in the metal world,

Yes, yes, he was part of a heavy group

called "Immortal Rider". How do you stay? Dead, right?

- You have two options when you make a mistake,

or when you look ridiculous in a situation,

and it is, or get pissed off, and get fatal with yourself,

or laugh, and laughing is much healthier, have you seen my jaw?

this is to laugh.

# And it is the force that takes you, # that pushes you, and that fills you,

# that drags you # and that brings you closer to God.

# It's a feeling, # almost an obsession,

# if the strength is from the heart.

# It's something that messes you up# the discharge of energy

# that is taking away your reason.

# Makes you stumble,# creates confusion,

# sure it's the strength of the heart. #

As a child he wanted to be a shoemaker or a painter

but fate wanted his thing to be music,

well, fate and her mother

who insisted on signing up for an extracurricular

to get rid of him for a while.

Be careful, we are not saying this, he has told it himself, huh?

- I could have signed up for karate or anything else

but, luckily, he signed me up for guitar.

# Come break me with desire, # I want to die in your poison

# Without you I don't know how to live, # I suffer more without your suffering.

# Burn me in your fire, # I want to die in your poison,

# drink it from your skin.

# And cover my eyes # And give me a drink.

# And before the sun rises, yes # and save my life,

# but do it at once. #

-And, as a student, how were you? -He was grateful to the teachers

affectionate with,- With colleagues, right?

- Yeah, man.

It seems that it was hard to tie short

to the teenage Alexander.

- I remember one day, man,

we took a 600, it was the easiest thing to take because,

- Oh, did you pick it up? - Yes, and then it turns out,

well, it belonged to my mother too.

I went to an institute, but I didn't study there

and then they kicked me out

and then I arrived at the academy directed by Vicente

and he spoke to me very clearly, he spoke to me in my language,

They always told me: you have committed a serious offense,

I don't understand that, so I said: if you don't approve

I'll kick you there, where the bulls

and then he understood.

He has always been touched by a magic wand, well,

in this case you could say

that he was born touched by a spike, magical too, heh, heh,

well, this is a little joke from our scriptwriter, you know what,

# If I can't see you,# I don't want landscape,

# if you don't come with me,# where will I go?

# If I will never be able to caress you again

# I will be like a shore without sea,# without waves and breeze

# It will tell me yes,

# will tell me yes. #

It is that he even had the luck

to meet Paco de Lucía when he was just a child.

Signs were not lacking, come on.

- And you have worked with the master, the master of masters,

Paco de Lucía,- The only thing he asked of me

It was some thermostats, he can't find where he lived, in Mexico,

he can't find the thermostats on a water heater

and so that's what he asked of me.

# My first song was made # with Martha's kisses,

# my way of loving her # with the wisdom of Mary

# and the memory of Almudena,# so languid and suffering. #

Flamenco is so deep inside that any place works for him

to get started por bulerías.

# I love you, # oh, I would love to be

# a little bit of your hair, # take what take, how I love you. #

He started playing in a parish and from there to the bars,

I did have to take a computer-literacy class in 8th grade, though. The classroom was full of ancient, green-screen… https://t.co/Am52Ntvnsd

to act, we say.

He even had to stomp on red lights.

We already know that beginnings are always difficult.

Even her singing classes took place in corridors,

well, on a specific one to be exact.

- The first time I arrived at the teacher's house,

to teach, I saw that he did not have a piano

and I said, hey, this man doesn't have a piano

How are you going to give me a singing class without a piano?

then he put me in a corridor, there in a corridor

I don't remember very well the paintings that hung on its walls,

- There were some, but.

the truth that put you in that corridor and made you sing

and so, and so we studied.

For risks that do not remain.Risks and face,

something that Alejandro has left over, said from the affection, eh?

Even his majesty, King Felipe VI, can attest to this.

- Now I call you highness but, the first time I called you dick,

but I did it with all the love in the world,

because, besides, he addressed me in a very cordial way, right?

He was very cordial, and so I answered him spontaneously,

It wasn't something, far from it,- Hey dick, when are you getting married?

-No, no, he told me, more or less, hey, we're from the same farm,

we should see each other more

and I told him, whenever you want dick, you call me,

Yeah, sure, he took a pen and took down my phone and that's it.

Always natural, whether with the monarch,

or with some workers on the construction site.

- How much work do we have left?

- Good luck.- Change your shirt,

Change your shirt, because they are going to throw stones at you.

- I look like a tourist, right? - No, you look like a dealer, dick.

- What do you expect from your tour here, in Mexico?

# My friend, # princess of an infinite tale.

# My friend, I only pretend # that you count on me,

# my friend, # let's see if one of these days

# I finally learn to speak # without having to take so many detours,

# that this whole story matters to me # because you're my friend. #

A person who does not flinch at anything,

and when we say for nothing, it is for nothing,

not even if he is invested honoris causa

by an American university,

or that Los Angeles dedicates one day a year to it,

he doesn't even blink.

-I don't give him more importance than he has,

is that it is that a city like Los Angeles

I'll put you up one day, having as many artists as they have there,

Well, that makes me very happy, doesn't it?

but hey, I'm not a Saint Patrick, or anything like that.

If he even has art to confirm that he has married,

or to talk about his paternity.

- I got married,

What happens is that I have not told the State, nor the judges.

Well, because, what for? They have a lot of problems.

# I want to give you my happiness,# I want to give you something important

# And it only occurs to me to love you # How is that going to be?

# Yes, even when the moon rises # and hits my window

# I can not stop loving you,

# we all three have laughed and cried.# I want to give you joy,

# I want to give you something important # and it only occurs to me to love you

# and it only occurs to me to love you. #

- Manuela, you were born yesterday, it seems that you have

instead of two days, four.

What art, his face, everything, his body, his poo,

("Looking for paradise", Alejandro Sanz and Alicia Keys)

# From a distance we have # in the fire.

# From afar# we have each other in the seas.

# From afar I feel you love.

# From afar# we have each other in the bones

# From a distance our bodies # become air.

# From afar I can love you,

# from afar our love # will be legend.

# From afar they will speak, # of this love that is legendary. #

# What do you know about love? # What do you know, my Robinson?

# You cut yourself and I'm the one who bleeds, # I'm your sponge under the water. #

# She becomes cold and becomes eternal,# a sigh in the storm,

# the one she used so many times # she changed her voice.

# People who come and go,# and it's always her

# that lies to me and denies me, # that forgets me and reminds me,

# But if my mouth is wrong,# but if my mouth is wrong,

# and when he called her he named another # sometimes he feels compassion

# For this crazy, # blind and crazy heart

# Be, whatever God may be,

# my crime is the clumsiness of ignoring, # that who does not have a heart

# and she burns, she burns me # and she burns me, oh-oh-oh, oh

But it wasn't her, it wasn't her, it wasn't her!

Who? Well, Alejandro himself tells us.

- Olga is Olga, Marta's sister, who was my first girlfriend,

my first girlfriend, come on.

# I will leave you an illusion,

#wrapped in a promise# of eternal passion.

# A hope # painted on a sea of ​​cardboard

# a new world # that continues where one day you put it,

# you are that woman

# for whom I feel # that man capable of loving

# living, every second, # the first time.

# Knowing that he loved me # and everything you gave me. #

# But you know

# that in the depths of my soul # follows that pain,

# for believing in you

# What happened to the illusion # and how beautiful it is to live? #

Let's see, let's see, raise your hand

the one who doesn't know the lyrics

of the most worn “Partío Heart” in the world.

# And who is going to give me # his emotions?

# Who is going to ask me # to never leave him?

# Who will cover me tonight # if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

- Why did you leave me,- No, why did you heal me

- It's cold, who's going to leave me?

# Band-aids for this broken heart,- Ya.

Well, okay, there will always be some clueless,

but you will not deny me

which is one of the songs you have heard the most.

In his voice and in that of others.

# Who will cover me tonight # if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

# Who will fill with springs# this January

# And will the moon go down # for us to play?

Tell me, if you're leaving, tell me my darling

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

# Who is going to give me # his emotions?

# Who is going to ask me # to never leave him?

#Who will cover me tonight# if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

# Who will fill with springs# this January

# and will the moon go down # for us to play?

Tell me, if you go, tell me my darling,

# who is going to heal my broken heart? #

There are even those who have risked versioning it

with more or less success.

We let you be the ones who think about the result.

# Who is going to surrender their emotions?

# Who is going to ask me # to never leave him?

# Who will cover me tonight # if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

# Who will fill with springs# this January

# and will the moon go down # for us to play? #

Tell me, if you're leaving, tell me my darling

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

#Who's going to heal# my bruises?

# who's going to put ice on my bumps?

# who will put on my forehead # another cold cloth?

# Who is going to cure me of the split head? #

And it is that resisting his chords is almost impossible.

# Who is going to surrender their emotions?

# Who is going to ask me # to never leave him?

# Who will cover me tonight # if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

- There are bubblegum songs, humming songs and such

but there are good songs,

but that, in addition, become popular songs

and that's what has "broken heart"

- It has been the song that has marked the most

a lot of my life lately,

especially when I came to Madrid to live.

# You see, that there are not two without three # that life comes and goes

# and that doesn't stop # and what do I know.

# But lie to me, even tell me # that something remains between the two of us

# That in your room # the sun never rises,

# Neither time nor pain exists. #

- It's one of those songs that you seem to have heard all your life.

# Who's going to shut me down# their emotions?

# Who is going to ask me # to never leave her?

# Who will cover me tonight # if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart? #

-In principle Alejandro had said that when he finished composing it

that he had thought of us, right?

in that, for us to sing it, and that.

Yes friends, how history would have changed.

# Who is going to surrender their emotions?

# Who is going to ask me # to never leave him?

# Who will cover me tonight # if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

# Who will fill with springs# this January

# and will the moon come down for us to play?

Tell me, if you're leaving, tell me my darling

# Who is going to heal my broken heart? #

But in the end Alejandro decided to record it himself

although it cost him his.

- I spent a year without going out, but without going out,

there he did literally dedicate himself to me,

food at the door of the room

and then they collected the trays

and gave them an hour a day to clean up, and go.

and now, when it was about to mix, I already exploded,

I'm sorry but that song has to be recorded again,

as? but if it's fantastic, I say, no.

The chorus came easily

but he spent two years, two!

writing the rest of the stanzas.

Twosssss!

That heart almost had a seizure.

It is normal that the song ends up being called "Corazón partío"

- What I did was use

a slightly obsessive cadence, right?, with a risqué

and use that cadence, it's very Italian, with that very obsessive cadence,

raising the tone, and the intensity of the song

It seems that it will never end

It seems that it will never let you rest.

It is that he has touched her everywhere.

We would not be surprised if his alarm clock has this melody.

At least in his head it has to resonate day and night.

- I remember that I was in Moratalaz,

our game was, go to one of the bridges of the M-30

a friend and I, we liked music

and that we began to make a group, and such,

and we said can you imagine this full of people and such?

and we pretended to play

# Why did you heal me # when I was hurt

# If today you leave me again # my heart broke

# Who is going to surrender their emotions?

# Who is going to ask me # to never leave him?

# Who will cover me tonight # if it's cold?

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

# Who will fill with springs# this January

# and will the moon come down for us to play?

Tell me, if you're leaving, tell me my darling

# Who is going to heal my broken heart?

# Since when will I be waiting for you?

# I have stolen the soul from the air # to give it to you in this breath

# I would like to be the air # that escapes from your laughter. #

- Does everything you sing happen to you, really?

- Man, Indiana Jones, I'm.- Everything, everything?

# Give me the chair # that has art.

- Have you talked to Alejandro Sanz?

- what's up? and he said to me: Very well, and you?, Is everything alright?

- I am very embarrassed because,

# You are that woman

# For whom I feel # that man capable of loving. #

# When no one sees me. #
