Spanish poem Sólo tú le das brillo y Amor a mi Corazón. Sólo tú me miras con tanta pureza y belleza interior. Sólo tú llenas de Alegría a mi Alma. Sólo tú conoces mis secretos, deseos y anhelos. Sólo tú me transmites calor con tus manos. Sólo tú me das fuerzas para seguir viviendo. Sólo tú me hablas con tanta dulzura. Sólo tú me escuchas con tanta paciencia. Sólo tú me acaricias con tanta delicadeza. Sólo tú me besas con tanta ternura. Sólo tú me comprendes con tanta sutileza. Sólo tú haces que me sienta el Ser más Feliz del Universo. Sólo tú me das tanta seguridad en mí misma. Sólo tú me calmas y tranquilizas cuando estoy mal. Sólo tú eres el que puede entrar en mi Corazón y en mi Ser. Sólo tú me abrigas cuando tengo frío. Sólo tú eres y serás el Dueño de mi Corazón. Sólo tú eres mi Sueño hecho realidad. Sólo tú eres y serás el que me ama y me amará siempre. Sólo tú eres al que amo y amaré eternamente!

Famous Spanish person Pablo Escobar Born on December 1, 1949 into a lower-middle class family, young Pablo grew up in the Medellin suburb of Envigado. As a young man, he was driven and ambitious, telling friends and family that he wanted to be President of Colombia some day. He got his start as a street criminal: according to legend, he would steal tombstones, sandblast the names off of them, and resell them to crooked Panamanians. Later, he moved up to stealing cars. It was in the 1970’s that he found his path to wealth and power: drugs. He would buy coca paste in Bolivia and Peru, refine it, and transport it for sale in the US.

Spanish song Ella despidió a su amor el partió en un barco en el muelle de San Blas El juró que volvería y empapada en llanto ella juró que esperaría miles de lunas de lunas pasaron y siempre ella estaba en el muelle, esperando muchas tardes se anidaron se anidaron en su pelo y en sus labios Llevaba el mismo vestido y por si el volviera no se fuera a equivocar los cangrejos le mordían sus ropajes, su tristeza y su ilusión y el tiempo se escurrió y sus ojos se le llenaron de amaneceres y del mar se enamoró y su cuerpo se enraizó en el muelle http://www.donquijote.org/spanishlanguage/lyrics/search/mana/en-el-muelle-de-san-blas/
