Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career. He recorded his first disc and the positive results came fast when in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the song "Descartada" sold 12 thousand copies. previous.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te amé, te di mi amor, te di mi vida
Qué pronto escapó la prófuga felicidad
Qué pronto la maldita despedida
Y con tu ausencia sólo pude comprobar
Que tu llegada me vino a cambiar la vida
Que nuestro amor me es imposible de olvidar
Te amaba, me amabas
Después no supe, ya no supe qué pasó
Te amé, como quisiera yo poder volver a amar
Pero un amor así no se repite
Hay nubes en mi cielo y cuando empieza a lloviznar
El corazón me exige que te grite
Que con tu ausencia sólo pude comprobar
Que tu llegada me vino a cambiar la vida
Que nuestro amor me es imposible de olvidar
Y con el tiempo se hace más honda mi herida
Te amo, no me amas
Ahora entiendo eso fue lo que pasó
Te amo, no me amas
Ahora entiendo
Ahora entiendo, eso fue lo que pasó

The song speaks to the universal theme of loving deeply and losing, an experience that everyone can relate to. The lyrics are simple yet poignant, eliciting emotions within the listener. Sebastian's delivery is emotive and raw, further emphasizing the song's themes.
