A native of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Vargas was a classically-trained tenor who originally sang opera but gained fame with his renditions of popular songs. He made many musical guest appearances in films from 1936 onward, but also had more substantial acting roles in a few pictures, achieving over 70 screen credits in total.
In 1942, Vargas performed at the White House for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, one of many honors he received during his long career. He also performed in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Vargas died in Mexico City, Mexico at age 83.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que cuando como y donde
Tu siempre me respondes
Quizas, quizas, quizas
Y asi pasan los dias
Y yo desesperando
Y tu, tu contestando
Estas perdiendo el tiempo
Pensando, pensando
Por lo que mas tu quieras
Hasta cuando, hasta cuando
Y asi pasan los dias
Y yo desesperando
Y tu, tu contestando

The lyrics of Pedro Vargas's "Quizas Quizas Quizas" depict a person asking their love interest about the details of their relationship - when they can see each other, where they will meet, and what will happen between them. However, despite the person's persistent questioning, their love interest only responds with "Quizas, quizas, quizas" - which translates to "Maybe, maybe, maybe" in English. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song creates a sense of uncertainty and frustration, as the person is left to wonder if their love interest truly wants to be with them.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of urgency and desperation in the person's voice, as they feel like they are losing precious time by waiting for their love interest's response. The line "Y yo desesperando" ("And I'm despairing") emphasizes this feeling of helplessness and frustration. The person also questions their love interest's dedication to the relationship, asking "Estas perdiendo el tiempo" ("Are you wasting your time?"). This line suggests that the person is unsure if their love interest is truly invested in the relationship and may be avoiding commitment.
