The group was one of the most popular Mexican ensembles of the 1960s and 1970s. Early in their careers, the group earned popularity by playing cover songs of popular English-language songs (such as Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs' "Wooly Bully" and The Beatles' "Penny Lane") that were translated into Spanish, as well as producing original romantic ballads. The band established themselves throughout Latin America as one of the top bands with a string of successful slow ballads and grupera style songs. They were nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989. In 1994, lead singer Arturo Cisneros left the band to pursue a solo career and now performs under his own name. The remaining band members continue together with a new lead singer. A compilation album of the group's 30 greatest hits released in 2003 produced a resurgence of the group's popularity, earning the album a spot on the Billboard charts in the United States

In 1962, five friends from a small town of San Andres, a suburb of Guadalajara, State of Jalisco, Mexico, formed a group that would become one of Mexico's most popular bands for the next 30 years.

In an interview with morning radio host Pepe Reyes (La Preciosa Network, Clear Channel Radio), lead singer Arturo Cisneros announced he officially left the band on August 29, 1994. [4] Cisneros stated that he began recording for an undisclosed record label as a solo artist in the following months and by January of 1995 had completed 5 solo albums. In 1997, Cisneros formed his own version of los Freddy's (Arturo Cisneros Y sus Freddy's) with three former members of the original Freddy's: Octavio Aguilar, Raziel de Lugo & Ruperto Lopez.

Los Freddy's Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pretendiendo humillarme pregonaste
El haber desdeñado mi pasión
Y fingiendo una honda pena imaginaste
Que moriría de desesperación

Total si me hubieras querido
Ya me hubiera olvidado
De tu querer

Ya ves que fué tiempo perdido
El que tú has meditado
Para ahora decirme
Que no puede ser

Pensar que llegara a quererte
Es creer que la muerte se pudiera evitar
Total si no tengo tus besos
No me muero por eso
Ya yo estoy cansado
De tanto besar

Vivir sin conocerte
Puedo vivir sin ti

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Freddy's's song Total explores the theme of unrequited love and heartbreak. The singer addresses their former lover, who had previously attempted to humiliate them by rejecting their love. The former lover, in turn, feigns sadness and imagines that the singer would die from despair. However, the singer reveals that if their former lover had truly loved them, they would have forgotten about their previous love and moved on. The singer expresses frustration at the time wasted on their former lover's indecisiveness and inability to commit to their relationship.

The song touches on the relatable experience of unreciprocated love and the effects it can have on one's emotional state. The lyrics suggest that rather than dwelling on a past love that has died and never truly existed, it is better to move on and live life without the weight of unresolved feelings. The song encourages the idea that one can learn to live without the person they desire, and that sometimes it is better to let go of unrequited love and move on.
