Chacalón living under extreme poverty and surrounded by the alcoholism of his mother became a thief with the noble aim to support his family. Also at that time he and his brother sang on the streets of Lima.
It is not clear as why he earned the name "Chacalon". It is said that his younger brother was known as Chacalito (little Jackal); and therefore, him being older, became Chacalon (Big Jackal)
His first appearances were in 1965. And with the aim to improve his family's economic situation, he also worked as the assistant of a shoemaker.
In 1968, his wife Dora gave birth to their first child, a baby-girl who received the name Esther. Chacalón and his wife would be married four years after this birth. Chacalón reached and enjoyed the largest successes of his artistic career with his band La Nueva Crema (The New Cream).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No supiste amar
Y te burlaste de mi corazon
Y te burlaste de mi corazon
Cuanto tiempo juntos vivimos unidos
Pero te encontre con mi mejor amigo
Pero te encontre con mi mejor amigo
No supiste amar
No supiste amar
Y te burlaste de mi corazon
Y te burlaste de mi corazon
Cuanto tiempo juntos vivimos unidos
Pero te encontre con mi mejor amigo
Pero te encontre con mi mejor amigo
Pagaras mis penas con llanto y dolor
Dijiste kererme y te fuiste con el
Lloraras lloraras ingrata mujer
Lloraras lloraras ingrata mujer
(Pagaras con llanto mi dolor
Mujer traicionera)
Lloraras lloraras ingrata mujer
Lloraras lloraras ingrata mujer
Lloraras lloraras ingrata mujer
Lloraras lloraras ingrata mujer
