Mexican singers Christian Nodal and Belinda have released a cover of classic Mexican song Si Nos Dejan. The track serves as the opening theme of the latest soap opera of the same name which premiered this week.

 

The original song was written by José Alfredo Jiménez, one of the biggest and most talented artists of the last century, whose compositions are considered the basis of modern Mexican music. Si Nos Dejan was originally made famous by Mexican diva Lola Beltrán in the late 60's.

Belinda herself had already done a pop version of the song back in 2001 for the soap opera Aventuras en el Tiempo.

 

The release of the song follows the announcement of their engagement last week. Christian, 22, and Belinda, 30 (now claiming to be 28), met last year when they were both coaches on the 9th season of the Mexican version of The Voice. After many rumors and speculation they finally confirmed their relationship and it was on May 25 that the couple confirmed they're getting married through their social media accounts.

The Mexican press hasn't stopped talking about the engagement ring, which is estimated to be worth around $3M USD.

 

At his young age, Christian Nodal has achieved a lot of success with four records, and his most successful song, Adiós Amor, a cover, has sold over 1.2M copies just in the United States, getting the Diamond and 21x Platinum RIAA certification.

 

Belinda, who started her career in 2000 acting in soap operas for kids, has also had several hits throughout the years, although recently she's been dedicated to side projects, such as being judge in singing competitions, though she sporadically releases some singles:

 

Her love life has always been a reason for speculation, since most of her past boyfriends have been usually very famous people, from soccer players, to artists, to Criss Angel himself. And it was precisely with Criss Angel that she had one of the most scandalous breakups since he talked very poorly about her after the relationship ended, with the Mexican press backing her up for the first time since forever. They were so in bad terms, that he even refused to give her the music video he had produced for her, though it ultimately was released last year.

It's been revealed that he even changed the tattoo he had done with her name on his chest, changing it from "Beli" to "God"
