There are songs that live in the air, and then there are songs that live in your bones. "Historia de un Amor" is the latter.

Yet, strangely, the world refused to cry. When Mexican singer recorded it in the 1990s, it became a fiery bolero. When the French chanteuse Dalida sang it, it became chic and heartbreaking. But the most famous version? That belongs to the accordion.

For millions, "Historia de un Amor" is not a Mexican bolero.
