After the assassination of Orozco, Romero took the group under his management. He was able to maintain the group's popularity by hiring young talents and maintaining always a new style. Romero first hired Gabriel "El Gaby" García who was physically very similar to Orozco and impersonated him, the chorus was Jean Carlos Centeno and the other was Jorgito Celedón, as well as his accordionist nephew JF "El Morre" Romero. Their debut was in Venezuela in a national popular tv show contest "Premio Orquidea" which they won that year. Binomio de Oro then recorded the first album without Orozco titled "Todo Corazón (album)" featuring Romero siting along an empty chair implying that his partner was irreplaceable. The album also featured a song by Rafael Orozco titled "Solo para ti" which became an all time hit.
In 1996 Jean Carlos Centeno and Jorgito Celedon became lead singers of the Binomio de Oro along with Romero as accordionist and his nephew after Garcia's departure. In 1999 singer Jorgito Celedon quited the group to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Junior Santiago. Later Junior Santiago and "Morre" Romero separated from the group to form their own vallenato group.
Necesito de Ti
Binomio De Oro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con sus flechas untadas de ti
Atraviese en el fondo de mi
El martirio letal de un recuerdo
Ay, ay, ay corazón ya no muero
Tú me has dado lo que un día perdí (Bis).
Hoy la luna se ha vuelto a asomar
Y a alumbrar mis tinieblas de ayer
Convirtiendo en edén lo que era un campo santo.
Necesito de fuerzas sublimes
Que me lleven en busca de mi
Y un destello de fe que me anime
A vivir, a luchar, a vencer
Necesito sentir hoy mujer
Que tu influjo de amor me redime (Bis).
Y verter con ansias sobre ti
Huracanes de amor con mi canto (Bis).
Si he sufrido como ayer sufrí
Mi alma va a revivir adorándote tanto.
Necesito que vuelvan las aves
Que un verano alejó de mi ser
Y que canten al amanecer
El retorno de mi primavera
Antes que este martirio me acabe
Necesito tus besos mi negra (Bis).
Necesito ser libre y feliz
En la vaga ironía de mis versos
Necesito ser libre y feliz
En la vaga ironía de mis versos
Y adorarte, morirme por ti
Ser un loco de amor dulcemente perverso.
The lyrics of "Necesito De Ti" by Binomio De Oro convey feelings of longing and desperation for love and connection. The singer compares themselves to a wounded animal in need of healing and salvation, seeking the help of an Indian sorcerer to pierce their heart with the memory of a past love. They also express a desire to be transported to a place of happiness and light, away from the darkness of their past. The importance of the love interest's affection and care is emphasized throughout the song, as they are believed to be the key to the singer's happiness and survival.
The mention of the moon and nature serves as a symbol of hope and healing, making way for a new beginning. The desire to be free and happy is also present, but it is clear that this can only be achieved through the presence and love of the person for whom the song is intended. In the end, the singer declares their willingness to do whatever it takes to be with their loved one, even if it means being a "crazy sweetly perverse" lover.
