In 1950, Cruz made her first major breakthrough, after the lead singer of the La Sonora Matancera, a renowned Cuban orchestra, left the group and Cruz was called to fill in. Cruz was hired permanently by the orchestra, but she wasn't well accepted by the public at first. However, the orchestra stood by their decision, and soon Cruz became famous throughout Cuba. During the 15 years she was a member, the band traveled all over Latin America.
Quizás quizás quizás
Celia Cruz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿qué? ¿cuándo? ¿cómo? y ¿dónde?
tú siempre me respondes:
quizás, quizás, quizás
Así pasan los días
y voy desesperando
y tú vas contestando:
Estás perdiendo el tiempo
pensando, pensando
y por lo que más tú quieras
¿hasta cuándo? ¿hasta cuándo?
Y así pasan los días
y voy desesperando
y tú vas contestando:
quizás, quizás, quizás
The lyrics of Celia Cruz's Quizas Quizas Quizas capture a sense of uncertainty and frustration in a relationship where one partner constantly responds to questions about their future together with "quizás," meaning "maybe." The repetition of the word emphasizes the lack of commitment and signals to the other partner that they are not willing to make concrete plans or express their true intentions. The singer is growing increasingly desperate and impatient, as they feel like they are wasting their time waiting for their partner to make a move or provide a clear answer. The line "pensando, pensando" (thinking, thinking) suggests that the partner may be unsure about their feelings or hesitant to commit, leaving the singer to wonder when they will ever make up their mind. Overall, the lyrics of Quizas Quizas Quizas convey a deep sense of longing and uncertainty in a relationship where the future is uncertain.

You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I've asked you
And then I ask you over
Again, you only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me, say yes
But if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me, say yes,
But if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps
Perhaps
Perhaps

I had the privilege to see perform Live for 1 1/2 hours in Mainz, Germany. The “younger “ gentleman performers could hardly keep up with her. 🤪They took a break but she did not😊 An Amazing Young Lady and Artist 💗🦋🙏🏿
