La Chancla

Lyrics

Creiyas que no había de hallar
Amor como el que perdí
Tan al pelo lo jallé
Que ni me acuerdo de ti

Una sota y un caballo
Burlarse querían de mí, ¡hay!
Mal haya quien dijo miedo
Si para morir nací

Amigos les contaré
Una acción particular
Si me quieren se querer
Si me olvidan se olvidar

Nomás un orgullo tengo
Que a nadien le se rogar, ¡ay!
Que la chancla que yo tiro
No la vuelvo a levantar

Cuco Sanchez
Noted for an extensive career spanning 66 years and 200 songs (translated into 27 languages), Mexican folk singer, composer, and actor Jose del Refugio "Cuco" Sanchez may be gone, but his mark on the entertainment industry will not soon be forgotten. Born in the Mexican town of Altamira, Sanchez recorded his first song at the tender age of 13, and six years later, was signed by Mexico's largest media company. Spawning numerous hits, and composing music for several movies in which he also acted, Sanchez remained a popular actor of film and television, as well as a hit songwriter. On October 5, 2000, Cuco Sanchez died of liver failure at a Mexico City hospital. He was 79.

Jorge Negrete
Jorge Alberto Negrete Moreno (November 30, 1911 – December 5, 1953) is considered one of the most popular Mexican singers and actors of all time.

Negrete was born in Guanajuato where he was raised together with his brother and three sisters: David, Consuelo, Emilia and Teresa, and also lived in San Luis Potosí. He graduated with the rank of sub-lieutenant from El Colegio Militar, Mexico's military academy.

Handsome, with a very strong will and a trained, fascinating voice, he is still a top idol in Mexico and Latin America, more than 50 years after his death. His recording of México Lindo y Querido (Beautiful and Beloved México), his country's unofficial anthem, is the best known recording of the song. His career is often compared to that of Pedro Infante, the best known and most popular Mexican actor of the time. The public rivalry didn't carry over to their private lives, as they were close friends until Negrete's death.
