00:00What did the doctor do to you?
00:04What did the doctor do to you?
00:09Well, we're devastated...
00:16He's gone...
00:21An incredible artist...
00:25A wonderful woman who has lived for her people and her audience since she was eight years old,
00:36who fought with all his strength until the very last moment,
00:42Cancer has taken her from us at the peak of her adult career
00:47And that makes us very angry and very sad.
00:54How will you remember her?
00:57It has meant everything to me.
01:00But once this hell is over, we will remember her with the joy she had.
01:08with their wonderful songs that have been passed down from generation to generation
01:14And with those waves of love that she's seeing everywhere,
01:19that reach us from all over and now we know that Valladolid is preparing a huge tribute,
01:27It's something she won't be able to see, but she deserves it.
01:34And well, also a very big rest because he has suffered a lot.
01:38Has she been aware of that wave of affection and those messages?
01:41No, I was suffering a lot and the last few weeks have been almost entirely spent on sedatives.
01:49lots of sedatives and lots of sedatives.
01:52He is a wonderful representative and until the day before yesterday when he last saw you he was making plans.
02:02Instead of flowers, you donate to a foundation, right?
02:05It's a terrible cancer, you've already seen it, it's a terrible cancer.
02:10When it appears, there's nothing to be done.
02:20That's really sad, because I spoke to her less than a month ago and she told me she was...
02:26She didn't tell me she had cancer, but she did tell me she was feeling unwell.
02:32It's all happened so fast, hasn't it?
02:33Yes, very fast.
02:35We're all leaving now, those of us from my generation.
02:39You've had many experiences together, haven't you, Karina?
02:42Yeah.
02:45What can I say? I'm speechless.
02:48We saw her as a very cheerful, very determined person.
02:53Yes, his songs will stay in our hearts.
02:58Her, her beautiful hair.
03:01And how did you notice her in that last conversation, Karina?
03:05Weak, weak. We only talk on the phone.
03:09And he still told me, he says, I have to leave the hospital because I have some work to do.
03:16I mean, Elena, sweetheart, don't think about that now.
03:19Focus on recovering, and the time to work will come.
03:29I've been taking it terribly these past few days because we already knew.
03:36Elena was a part of my life, for many years.
03:39I met her when she was in the same situation and I was starting to work in the media.
03:47And since then we've worked a lot together, and she was always there when I needed her, and I was always there when she needed me.
03:54I needed it.
03:56I have almost no tears left, and I have almost no words.
04:02But just enough words to say that I am very proud to have known her, that she left full of life,
04:12wanting to do so many things.
04:14He was an example that you can be 78 years old and still work with enthusiasm and eagerness.
04:22And I feel so happy to have been able to tell her just three days ago, holding hands in the
04:30hospital, he didn't let go of my hand all afternoons.
04:35Being able to tell her how much I loved her, how much I admired her, and deceiving her because she said she had to
04:46go to America.
04:49And telling him, with this treatment you're going to get better.
04:53She knew they were lying to her, but it was what she needed.
05:03Well, I was lucky enough to work with her in '82 making My Fair Lady.
05:09And from then on my friendship grew tremendous, not only with her, but also with her brother Alberto.
05:14with whom we also worked on My Fair Lady.
05:15I believe she is a woman who marked an entire era in the world of song, songs that everyone
05:20We remember.
05:21And hopefully from now on they will continue to sound as they have sounded.
05:25I think it's important.
05:27And then lately Maria, my wife, has also given her singing lessons, so the relationship was much closer.
05:33closer together and more united.
05:34And how will they remember her?
05:36Well, we will remember her singing, obviously.
05:39And even more so at home, where music is always present, so their music will always be there...
05:43We must remember her as she was.
05:50Mrs.'s rights
05:50We are not wickedly helping.
05:51We must remember it as a song of today.
