I've had the weirdest ear worm all afternoon

[Xipe Totec]

A song from my youth, composed by a Mexican poet (Agustin Lara), in honor of a Spanish city:

Granada.

Haven't thought about it in two decades. Then, suddenly, I started humming it, then singing it, and finally had to check youtube to see if, perchance, I would find a single recording of this song.

I found page after page of references to the song, from which (I hope) I selected one of the best.

And who is this Agustin Lara, you may ask...

1. You may think you've never heard his songs...

but you would be wrong...

Little Joe and Willie Nelson playing Solamente una vez - only once (I truly loved) :
