Zaa was a singer with two famous Colombian salsa orchestras: "Grupo Niche" and "Guayacán". When he launched his career as a solo artist, he decided to switch to the bolero rhythm. This career decision was made during the middle 1990s, and Zaa became an instant teen idol in Latin America.

Zaa was then flown to Miami, Florida, where he remained hospitalized until he was diagnosed with having a kidney condition. Soon after, his personal doctor corrected the problem in a surgery performed in his native Colombia.

Charlie Zaa has recorded over 10 CDs since launching his career as a solo artist. His CD "Sentimientos", in which he sings some past hit songs, sold 500,000 copies in Colombia, and 50,000 copies in Ecuador. Those numbers made the CD be considered a hit in both countries, considering the size of their population.

Mosaico
Charlie Zaa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo sé que te perdí
Que otro amor te ilusionó
Más yo lo comprendí y me alejé
No quise perturbar la dicha que hubo en tí
Dichoso quiero verte sin sufrir
Para qué tenerte así, sin ninguna compresión
Si yo sé que tu amor fué una ilusión

Por eso te dejé con gran dolor te abandoné
Porque sin egoísmo vivo yo
Para que tenerte así sin ninguna comprensión
Si yo sé que tu amor fué una ilusión

Por eso te dejé, con gran dolor te abandoné
Porque sin egoísmo vivo yo, y soy feliz
