In 1952 she married juggler Erik van Aro (Gerd Eric Horst Scholz). He recognized her talent and accompanied her in her initial years of worldwide success, although they later divorced. In 1953, she made her first recordings with Kurt Edelhagen. Soon afterwards she achieved great success with songs like "Malagueña", "The Breeze and I", and "Dreh dich nicht um" with the Werner Müller orchestra.

In Germany she was a major performer of Schlager music. There she recorded Cole Porter's "I love Paris" i.e. "Ganz Paris träumt von der Liebe", which sold more than 500,000 copies in (1954.) Like in other countries where she was popular, some in Germany mistakenly consider her a German singer.

In 2001, she released a new album Girltalk with harpist Catherine Michel. She is also the mother of singer Eric van Aro, Jr.
Till The End Of Time
Caterina Valente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long as stars are in the blue,
Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing,
I'll go on loving you.
Till the end of time,
Long as roses bloom in May,
My love for you will grow deeper,
Till the wells run dry,
And each mountain disappears,
I'll be there for you, to care for you,
Through laughter and through tears.
So, take my heart in sweet surrender,
And tenderly say that I'm,
The one you love and live for,
Till the end of time.
The lyrics of the song "Till the End of Time" by Caterina Valente are about an undying love that lasts forever. The singer in the song promises their love to someone until the end of time, evoking the idea of eternal devotion. They compare their love to the beauty of nature, saying their love will last as long as the stars are in the sky and the spring blooms with birds singing. The love they share will grow deeper, like the roses blooming in May, and will hold strong even if everything around them changes, such as wells running dry and mountains disappearing. They vow to be there for their love through both good times and bad, through laughter and tears. The singer's ultimate wish is for their love to be reciprocated, as they ask their love to take their heart in sweet surrender and tenderly say that they are the one they love and live for, until the end of time.

Till the end of time,
I will never stop loving you
Long as stars are in the blue,
My love will last forever
Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing,
My love will never die
I'll go on loving you.
I will continue to love you
Till the end of time,
I will never stop loving you
Long as roses bloom in May,
My love will keep growing
My love for you will grow deeper,
My affection for you will become more intense
With every passing day.
As time goes by
Till the wells run dry,
Even in difficult times
And each mountain disappears,
When life gets hard
I'll be there for you, to care for you,
I will support you and take care of you
Through laughter and through tears.
During good times and bad
So, take my heart in sweet surrender,
Please love me back in the same way
And tenderly say that I'm,
Tell me that I am
The one you love and live for,
Your beloved, your reason to live
Till the end of time.
Forever and always.
