Cien Años (English: One Hundred Years) is a Mexican song written by Rubén Fuentes-A. Cervantes. Several artists had recorded this song, Pedro Infante in the 50's for example, and the singer Selena made her personal cover.

Background information

The song was originally released in 1988 for Selena's singing group, Selena y Los Dinos, on their album Preciosa (Precious). Selena re-recorded the song with a more beat-to-beat pop style in 1990, for their first greatest hits album, 16 Super Exitos Originales. After Selena's death, the song appeared as a Mariachi song for the album Siempre Selena in 1996. Again the song appeared on Selena's greatest hits album, All My Hits/Todos Mis Exitos Vol. 2 in 2000.
