Biography

Early life

She was born Soraya Raquel Lamilla Cuevas in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, a year after her father, mother, and brother moved to the United States from their native Colombia. The family moved back to Colombia when she was a baby, but when Soraya was eight years old, they returned to New Jersey. "Soraya" is a very common name in the Middle East, and its meaning can be translated "rich" or "princess". Soraya's maternal relatives were Lebanese Christians who emigrated from Lebanon to Colombia. Soraya's mother, Yamila Cuevas Gharib, had been a housewife in Colombia. Soraya's father, Gregorio Lamilla, worked for an exporting company in Colombia; in the U.S., life was hard for the family, so to make ends meet, he worked three or four jobs.

You And I

by: Soraya

You and I, pense que siempre lo diria
Tu y yo, palabras que nos unian
Revele mi alma entera, puse mi confianza en ti
Prometiste protegerme, juraste nunca partir
Pero hoy me encuentro, sola y sin tu amor
Extra–ando a quien fui antes del primer hello
Los recuerdos, los sue–os sin cumplir
No pueden ser mas claros, todo se puede finjir.
You and I, tu y yo
Tu y yo, nunca quise nada mas
Todo en mi vida, tiene tu huella detras
Entre besos me decias, que antes de mi no existias
Que en mis ojos brilla tu verdad.
Con cada declaracion,
Perfeccionabas tu guion
Y yo creia apreciar, escuchar mi gran amor.
Se que perdi lo que te di y hay
Otra que esta detras de mi
No llorare un dia mas por ti
Entre la pasion y el amor
Hay una fina distincion
La mentira no la inspira el corazon.
You and I, tu y yo
You and I, pense que siempre lo diria
