A famous bolero sung by Benny Moré, composed by Ernesto Duarte.

Here are the lyrics with the english translation:

Cómo fue...

no sé decirte cómo fue,
no sé explicarme qué pasó
pero de ti me enamoré.

Fue una luz que iluminó
todo mi ser.
Tu risa como un manantial
regó mi vida de inquietud.

Fueron tus ojos o tu boca,
fueron tus manos o tu voz,
fue a lo mejor la impaciencia
de tanto esperar
tu llegada.

Mas no sé,
no sé decirte cómo fue,
no sé explicarme qué pasó
pero de ti me enamoré.

(instrumental)

Fueron tus ojos o tu boca,
fueron tus manos o tu voz,
fue a lo mejor la impaciencia
de tanto esperar
tu llegada.
Mas no sé,
no sé decirte cómo fue,
no sé explicarme qué pasó
pero de ti me enamoré.

----------------------------------

How did that happen...

I can't tell you how,
I can't explain what happened
But I fell in love with you.

It was a light
that shone in my soul.
Your laugh was like a spring
feeding my life with restlessness.

Was it your eyes or your lips,
or your hands or your voice,
maybe it was impatience
after waiting so long
for you to arrive.

I don't know anymore,
I can't tell you how,
I can't explain what happened,
but I fell in love with you.

(instrumental)

Was it your eyes or your lips,
or your hands or your voice,
maybe it was impatience
after waiting so long
for you to arrive.
I don't know anymore,
I can't tell you how,
I can't explain what happened,
but I fell in love with you.

His name is usually spelled Benny Moré, but feel free to enjoy the clip nonetheless.
