In 1956, Valentin moved with his family to New York City where he attended George Washington High School and continued to take music lessons. In 1958, he went to play for Joe Quijano but, shortly after he joined Willie Rosario, who also came from his same neighborhood and played in his band.[2]
[edit] Musical career
In 1963, Valentin joined Tito Rodriguez (after not being hired by Tito in a recording session because of his age, he was given a chance and was added to his regular band) and traveled twice with Tito's orchestra to Venezuela. He also made musical arrangements for Tito and at times for Charlie Palmieri, Joe Quijano, Willie Rosario, and Ray Barretto. In 1965, he formed his own band and was signed by the Fania Record Label. He recorded "El Mensajero" (The Mensenger) and "Young Man With a Horn". He held his first concert in Puerto Rico during that period of time.[2]

Piensalo Bien
Bobby Valentín Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que yo tengo en la vida
es estar junto a ti,
pero el mundo es adverso
y encuentro que tú no te fijas en mi.
Y es que misino
será quererte siempre
tu esclavo yo seré.
No habrán quien diga
que no soy de ti,
te mimaré
con toditito mi amor.
Pero piénsalo bien
si me vas a querer
sólo mía serás.
Y es que misino
será quererte siempre
y si llegas amarme
tu esclavo yo seré.
No habrán quien diga
que no soy de ti,
te mimaré
con toditito mi amor.
Pero piénsalo bien
si me vas a querer
sólo mía serás, sólo mía serás,
sólo mía serás, sólo mía será.
The lyrics of Bobby Valentin's song "Piensalo Bien" speak about the singer's desire to be with a certain person, but the world seems to be against them as the other person doesn't seem to notice him. The singer expresses his utmost ambition of being with the person he loves. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to do anything for the person he loves, even being their loyal servant if they return his love.
The lyrics also convey the singer's commitment to the other person. He promises to love, cherish and take care of that person with all his love. The lines "te mimaré con toditito mi amor" (I will cherish you with all of my love) suggest that the singer is willing to put in all his effort to keep the person he loves happy. However, despite his commitment and relentless love, the singer also urges the other person to think about it before deciding to love him as he wants them to be "solo mía" (only mine).
Overall, the song is a romantic and passionate plea about the singer's love for someone and his willingness to do anything to be with them. It is a classic ballad that resonates with anyone who has ever been in love.
