This is a superb rendition of this lovely and obscure Jimmy van Heusen song. It is so simple, allowing the story to tell itself. Listen to some of the other recordings on UA-cam--they can't leave it alone!
Critics said Chet's singing was monotone, expressionless. I disagree. His singing was like his playing, subtle, and actually very emotional. Chet was of the West Coast cool school. He was a minimalist, thus the expression was more subtle -- yet very real.
Cuando se conocieron, la forma en que sonrieron, vi que había terminado When they met, the way they smiled, I saw that I was through Oh, luna loca, ¿qué hiciste? Oh, you crazy moon, what did you do? Y cuando se besaron, And when they kissed, Intentaron decir que era solo una diversión. They tried to say that it was just in fun Oh, luna loca, mira lo que has hecho Oh, you crazy moon, look what you've done Una vez que me prometiste, ya sabes, que nunca terminaría Once you promised me, you know, that it would never end Deberías avergonzarte de mostrar tu cara graciosa, amigo mío. You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend Ahí están, se enamoraron, There they are, they fell in love, Supongo que piensas que eres inteligente I guess you think that you're smart Ay, luna loca, me rompiste el corazón Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart Una vez que me prometiste, ya sabes, que nunca terminaría Once you promised me, you know, that it would never end Deberías avergonzarte de mostrar tu cara graciosa, amigo mío. You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend Y ahí están, se enamoraron, And there they are, they fell in love, Supongo que piensas que eres inteligente I guess you think that you're smart Ay, luna loca, me rompiste el corazón Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart

Anyone who would say Chet was "monotone" must be tone deaf.
I find it good for night time
Well put. Thanks for the informed, informative comment, Eric Davis.

Does Chet Baker sing sharp?
Cuando se conocieron, la forma en que sonrieron, vi que había terminado
When they met, the way they smiled, I saw that I was through
Oh, luna loca, ¿qué hiciste?
Oh, you crazy moon, what did you do?
Y cuando se besaron,
And when they kissed,
Intentaron decir que era solo una diversión.
They tried to say that it was just in fun
Oh, luna loca, mira lo que has hecho
Oh, you crazy moon, look what you've done
Una vez que me prometiste, ya sabes, que nunca terminaría
Once you promised me, you know, that it would never end
Deberías avergonzarte de mostrar tu cara graciosa, amigo mío.
You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend
Ahí están, se enamoraron,
There they are, they fell in love,
Supongo que piensas que eres inteligente
I guess you think that you're smart
Ay, luna loca, me rompiste el corazón
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart
Una vez que me prometiste, ya sabes, que nunca terminaría
Once you promised me, you know, that it would never end
Deberías avergonzarte de mostrar tu cara graciosa, amigo mío.
You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend
Y ahí están, se enamoraron,
And there they are, they fell in love,
Supongo que piensas que eres inteligente
I guess you think that you're smart
Ay, luna loca, me rompiste el corazón
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart
