He… Read Full Bio ↴Ramón Orlando Valoy is a merengue musician and son of Cuco Valoy.
He was born in Manoguayabo, then part of Santo Domingo, D.N. (the capital city) and now part of Santo Domingo Province. He studied music at National Conservatory of Music in the Dominican Republic.
In the 70s, after his father left Los Compadres Guitar quartet, he formed his first group, Los Virtuosos, with his father as the lead singer. His father kept the group and renamed it as Cuco Valoy y Orquesta (Cuco Valoy and his Orchestra) where he hired singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia. Ramon Orlando went to form another group. Years later, Cuco Valoy group disintegrated and he moved to Colombia due to his political differences with then Dominican president Joaquin Balaguer. Ramon Orlando then went onto a more ambitious project. He and then famous merengue singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed La Orquesta Internacional (The International Orchestra), where he was supposed to be the composer and director whereas Cruz and Garcia were to be the singers. However, of the first ten single production, Ramon Orlando wanted to sing four of them himself, which caused the group to split. Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed their own groups which didn't last long. Ramon Orlando quickly hired a couple of boys with similar voice tones to Cruz' and Garcia's to interpret the songs already on the radio.
He was a nominee in the Latin Grammy Awards of 2005.
Rondando Tu Esquina
Ramon Orlando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De olvidar lo que ha pasado y perdonarla.
Ya no me importa el qué dirán
Ni de las cosas que hablarán...
Yo no pienso más que en ella a toda hora.
Es terrible esta pasión devoradora.
Y ella siempre sin saber,
Mis deseos de volver...
¿Qué me has dado, vida mía,
Que ando triste noche y día?
Mirando siempre tu casa,
Y esta pasión que lastima,
Y este dolor que no acaba.
¿Hasta cuando iré sufriendo
These lyrics are from the song "Rondando Tu Esquina" by Ramon Orlando. The song talks about a man who is deeply in love with a woman who has done something to hurt him. However, he wants to forgive her and start anew. He no longer cares about what people say and think about him and his actions. He only thinks about her and his love for her. Despite his persistent love for her, she has no idea about his feelings.
The opening lines of the song convey the man’s desire to search for the woman he loves and forgive her. The line “Esta noche tengo ganas de buscarla” (“Tonight I have the desire to search for her”) indicates his longing to find her and reconcile with her. Even though she has hurt him, he wants to forget the past and start afresh.
The following lines show how much he is consumed by his passion for her. He can’t think about anything else and is fully obsessed with her. The line “Es terrible esta pasión devoradora” (“This devouring passion is terrible”) highlights how much he is affected by his feelings towards her. In the last stanza, he asks himself why he is suffering so much for her and wonders how long he will continue to feel that way. Despite his anguish, he cannot help but linger around her house, always thinking about her.
