| About the Song: | One day, after being asked by a student why he does not have any compositions, Buencamino invited poet Jose Corazon de Jesus to Oliver Music Store in Calle Carriedo. There, they wrote this kundiman about a man who likens himself to a poor bird, wounded and incapable of flying, wanting the love of a woman who can bring satisfaction to his lonely heart. |
