Re: Lyrics to La Plegaria de Mi Amor
by Agustin Gurza, 05/06/2020 - 21:05Hello Butch:
Thanks for your question about the Spanish lyrics to this song. It piqued my interest because I happen to know the owner of the label, Gala Records, that originally released it back in 1976. Like you, I could not find anything online about it. But as luck would have it, I own the original album by Eydie Gormé that includes this number.
So I went to my garage and, lo and behold, the album features a gatefold cover with all the lyrics printed inside, in BOTH Spanish and English. So I took a photo of the lyrics you need, plus a shot of the album cover. I will upload them here to the Image section of the song page.
Just out of curiosity, what sparked your interest in this song? And how did you find it in our collection?
Thanks for your interest. Glad I could help.
