In 1976 he started with a group of amateurs in Puerto Rico, and his first recording was with the Mario Ortiz Orchestra. He then moved on to Orquesta La Grande, and during the two years Gilberto was with them, he met Mr. Elias Lopés who later helped mold and polish the promising young singer, releasing three recordings.
In 1980, he got an important opportunity recording "Homenaje a Eddie Palmieri" with the Puerto Rico All Stars. He then went on to record with Tommy Olivencia. From 1981 through 1986 he was with the Willie Rosario Orchestra where he recorded six albums.
Santa Rosa then signed with Ralph Cartagena's Combo Records. In 1986, he debuted on Good Vibrations fronting his own salsa orquesta. After releasing three more albums on Combo, including "De Amor y Salsa", he switched to CBS Records and issued the chart-topping salsa romantica set Punto De Vista in 1990, which went platinum and spawned the smash hits "Vivir Sin Ella" and "Perdoname". Santa Rosa's 1991 CBS/Sony follow-up, Perspectiva, was another monster hit.
Since the mid-80s, the mainstream salsa recording industry in Puerto Rico and the USA has been largely preoccupied with developing and marketing the images of "good looking" young male vocalists, rather than producing solid, stimulating music performed by swinging soneros (improvising salsa singers). Santa Rosa, however, who was one of the first of this new crop of solo singers, is regarded as being amongst the small number who deserve to be called a sonero.
In 1990, Santa Rosa was in the illustrious company of Andy Montañez and Pedro Brull (from Mulenze ), as one of the contemporary soneros assembled by bandleader Don Perignon for his all-star La Puertorriqueña project. In 1990, he won the Billboard Lo Nuestro award for Best Male Singer. He has also performed at New York's prestigious annual salsa festival. But 1990 was an important year in other respects. Santa Rosa made acting debut in the play "La pareja dispareja", where he was joined by Rafo Muñiz and Luis Vigoreaux.
He visited Japan in 1995 as Puerto Rico's musical ambassador and sang one of his songs, "De cara al viento" in Japanese in his effort to bridge the cultural barriers. Since then Santa Rosa's fame reached across borders and continents; commanding recognition as salsa artist in most demand. In 1996 he released yet another smash album Esencia which included hit songs such as No Quiero Nada Regala'o.
Santa Rosa's recent work has not been limited to soloist recordings. He joined other artists in the First President's Festival in the Dominican Republic; Andy Montañez in New York's Lincoln Center, in 1997; and Olga Tañon in the Universal Studios Amphitheater in Holloywood, in 1997.
In 1999, he released Expresión, which reinforced his international fame. The album included the hit song "Que alguien me diga", written by Omar Alfanno, which was at the top of Billboard‘s latin chart for various weeks. The album also included the song Fulana, unlike his well known salsa, demonstrating his wide range of interests and ability. The album was selected as one of the 20 best recordings of the year by the National Foundation Popular Culture of Puerto Rico.

Gilberto Santa Rosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y yo me siento
Sin darte un beso
Como uno mas
Cada mañana
Hago el intento
Para olvidarte
Tu recuerdo me golpea
Aqui en el alma
Cada ves que me descuido
Como un cazador furtivo
Me persigue por
Toda esta soledad
Cuando creo que por fin
Ya te he olvidado
Y que voy a enamorarme
Aparece de la nada
Tu recuerdo y no soy nadie
Que alguien me diga
Como se olvida
Como se arranca para
Siempre un amor del corazon
Que alguien me ayude
Se me hace urgente
Ando buscando entre la gente
Quien me quite este dolor
Busco alguien que me
Quiera por siempre
Que me acepte en realidad
Como soy
Ese alguien que me
De su cariño
La que sea venga a mi por favor
Tu recuerdo me golpea
Aquí en el alma
Cada ves que me descuido
Como un cazador furtivo
Me persigue por
Toda esta soledad
Cuando creo que por fin
Ya te he olvidado
Y que voy a enamorarme
Aparece de la nada
Tu recuerdo y no soy nadie
Que alguien me diga
Como se olvida
Como se arranca para
Siempre un amor del corazón
Que alguien me ayude
Se me hace urgente
Ando buscando entre la gente
Quien me quite este dolor
Busco alguien que me
Quiera por siempre
Que me acepte en realidad
Como soy
Ese alguien que me
De su cariño
La que sea venga a mi por favor
Que alguien me diga, como se olvida
Como se arranca esta pena de amor
Como se sana una herida
Que alguien me diga, como se olvida
Alguien que salve mi alma
Y borre el recuerdo que me castiga
Que alguien me diga, como se olvida
Que sea venga pronto, como se olvida, que me lo diga
Que alguien me diga, como se olvida
Ese alguien que me quiera me comprenda
Que me entienda y ponga luz a mi vida
Que alguien me diga, como se olvida
Como borrar ese nombre de mi pasado
Para que no me persiga
Que alguien me diga, como se olvida
Que alguien me diga
Como se arranca una pena de toditita una vida
Que alguien me diga
Como se sana un dolor como se borra una herida
Que alguien me diga
Porque la felicidad para mi parece que esta prohibida
Que alguien me diga
Quien tenga la contestacion a mi situation
Que me lo diga
The lyrics of Gilberto Santa Rosa's song "Que Alguien Me Diga" express the pain and longing of a person who is desperately trying to forget someone they loved deeply. The song's protagonist speaks of how the memory of their past love haunts them, and how they struggle to carry on with their life without them. They describe themselves as feeling like just another person, going through their days without being able to kiss the one they love. Each morning, they try to forget them, but in vain - the memory of their former love hits them hard, like a hunter chasing its prey.
The singer is hoping that someone will come along and help them forget their past love. They long for someone who will love and accept them for who they are and take away the pain they're feeling. They're searching for a kind soul who can give them the answers they need to forget the one who's still haunting them. They plead with anyone who's listening to help them heal and move on - to show them how to erase the name of their former lover from their past and to help them find the love and acceptance that they so desperately crave.
Overall, the lyrics of "Que Alguien Me Diga" are a poignant reminder of how painful lost love can be - but also of the hope that comes with the search for a new love that can heal the scars of the past.

Mis padres se divorciaron en 1982. Para 2004 Mi papá me regaló éste disco de Gilberto y lo puse un día en mi casa, mi mamá me visitaba, y le conté quien me habia regalado el disco. Escuchando ella esta canción se puso pensativa y le bajaban las lágrimas. Ella falleció en 2014. Siempre de alguna u otra manera escucho esta pieza, presisamente el estribillo "que alguien me diga..." , ya sea una emisora de radio, un auto, una tienda , o si estoy pasando un momento difícil en algún lugar la escucho y me hace sentir como si ella me dijera aqui estoy..
@user-it2to6eo3g
Dios permitió ,que tú vieras eso de ella y que le compartieras quien te dió ese disco ,y por eso cada que lo escuchas es una caricia a tu alma mi vida desde donde ella está .😢😢😢.
