Una Noche


Information:
  • Una Noche is a duet between Andrea and Alejandro Sanz. Following this collaboration, the Corrs sang on the song Me Ire/The Hardest Day on Sanz's own album.
     
  • The video for Una Noche features all of the Corrs and Alejandro Sanz as Andrea's love interest.
     
  • The video for Una Noche is also the one video on which Andrea does not actually appear with the rest of the group. The video was mainly filmed in Mexico City but Andrea was in London recovering from an ear infection. As she was unable to join the others in Mexico City, her parts were filmed in London and skillfully joined with the main footage by Nick Wickham who directed the video.
     
  • Una Noche was the Corrs first Latin American hit.
     
  • The following conversation is a tidbit from the old Corrs Official Website Q&A section:
    Caroline: "How long did it take you to learn how to sing in a different language for Una Noche?"
    Andrea: "Pretty quickly. I had somebody here that was Spanish. The Spanish record company came in, and also somebody else to help with the Spanish. I found it very interesting; I love languages. It was a few hours, really."
    Caroline: "I think as a singer your ear is probably better..."
    Andrea: "You're right. I think that definitely, as a singer, or a musician, or anything like that, you really do hear the sounds of words and can pick it up."
     
Written By:
  • Una Noche was written by the Corrs (mainly Andrea & Caroline) together with Alejandro Sanz.
    The following quote from Caroline on the old In Blue official web site substanstiates this: "That's another one that started with me and Andrea. It's for a movie. Sometimes I have to nag her a bit to write. She can be quite relectant at first but once she gets started she won't shut up."
    General belief is that Caroline wrote most of the music while Andrea wrote the lyrics.
     


Lyrics:
Despues de pensar, despues de ver
A mi dolor andar sobre el agua del mar
Tibia claridad
Que vi por mi calle pasar
Sin saber que hacer, si sentir o pensar
Solo que aun hoy sigo aun
Aun hoy sigo atandome a ti

Aun hoy mi amor te doy
Mi cuerpo con alma
Se esconde del sol
De noche se escapa
Aun hoy te doy
Mi cuerpo con alma
Aun hoy, aun hay

Que esconde la noche
Va a aguardar entre nosotros dos
O sentir o pensar
Se me lleno de luz la noche
Y es porque yo vi nadar
Delfines en tu voz
Y sentir sin pensar

Solo que aun hoy sigo
Aun hoy sigo amandote a ti

Aun hoy, mi amor
Aun hay dos cuerpos con alma
Se esconden del sol
De noche se escapan
De noche se dan
Los cuerpos, las almas
Aun hoy, aun hay

Solo que aun hoy sigo
Aun hoy sigo amandote a ti

Aun hoy, mi amor
Aun hay dos cuerpos con alma
Se esconden del sol
De noche se escapan
De noche se dan
Los cuerpos, las almas
Aun hoy, aun hay

Aun hoy, aun hay
Aun hoy, aun hay
Aun hoy, aun hay
...

English:
Long day and I'm ready
I'm waiting for your call
'Cos I've made up my mind
My heart aches with a hunger and the want that you were mine
No I cannot deny

So for one night, is it alright
That I give... you
My heart, my love, my heart
Just for one night
My body, my soul
Just for one night
My love, my love
For one night, one night, one night

When morning awakes me
Well I know I'll be alone
And I feel I'll be fine
So don't you worry about me
I'm not empty on my own
For inside I'm alive

That for one night, it was so right
That I gave... you
My heart (my heart...), my love, my heart
Just for one night (one night...)
My body, my soul
Just for one night (one night...)
My love, I loved
For one night (one night...), one night, one night

[Guitar solo]

For one night, it was so right
That I gave... you
My heart (my heart), my love, my heart
Just for one night (one night...)
My body, my soul
Just for one night (one night...)
My love, my love
For one night (one night), one night, one night
One night...
