By Liberace. By Manuel Ponce. Arranged by Timothy Stapay. Film/TV,Folk,Singer/Songwriter,Standards,Traditional. Score. 8 pages. Timothy Stapay #812071. Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1215199).This is an arrangement of the traditional Mexican folk song, "Estrellita" as played by piano artist, Liberace. This is from a very early and rare album called "Songs My Mother Taught Me".
Tender, romantic, and so elementally lovely that it seems we have carried this melody inside us all our lives — that’s Estrellita, the “little star” that is surely one of the most popular songs in the world. Estrellita was composed by Manuel Ponce, a 20th-century Mexican composer, who grew up in a musical family and received his musical training from his parents. It is the single work for which he is best known.
According to widely accepted tradition, the ineffably lovely melody of Estrellita came to Ponce in a burst of romantic inspiration in a quiet moment as he beheld his wife.
Lyrics:
Little star, of the distant sky,
you see my pain, you know my suffering.
Come down and tell me if you love me still
because sad alone is this heart
that asks for love from you.
You are my star, a beacon of love.
You alone can give light to the heart.
Little star, tell me you still love me
because sad alone is this heart
that desires love from you.
You are my star, a beacon of love.
You alone can give light to the heart.
Little star, tell me you still love me
because sad alone is this heart
that desires love from you.
