Rodríguez was born in San Fernando de Monte Cristi, Monte Cristi, related to the Zapata family of Monte Cristi, in the northwest coast of the island. He toured with Antony Santos as a guitar player at age fifteen, and then went on to own band.
He has many international hits, including the songs: Nereida, Medicina de Amor, Soledad, and many more. While traditional bachata songs were often risque and suggestive, Raulin Rodríguez's idealized romantic lyrics helped the style achieve general social acceptability and to receive radio play
Parece mentira
Raulín Rodríguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No te pienso detener...
Si quieres irte, vete...
Adiòs y que te valla bien...
Ya lo he intentado todo para retenerte a mi lado...
Pero que màs me da si tu nunca me has amado...
Haz tu vida que yo hago la mia sin ti...
Haz tu vida que yo hago la mia sin ti...
Parece mentira que lo nuestro halla acabado...
Que por otro tu me has abandonado...
Porque tiene màs dinero que yo...
Oh no! ...
Parece mentira lo que escucho de tus labios...
Que por otro tu me has abandonado...
Porque tiene màs dinero que yo...
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! ...
Ya no me importa nada si te quedas o te vas...
Tienes la puerta abierta, decidete marchate ya...
Ya lo he intentado todo para retenerte a mi lado...
Pero que màs me da si tu nunca me has amado...
Haz tu vida que yo hago la mia sin ti...
Haz tu vida que yo hago la mia sin ti...
Parece mentira que lo nuestro halla acabado...
Que por otro tu me has abandonado...
Porque tiene màs dinero que yo...
Oh no! ...
Parece mentira lo que escucho de tus labios...
Que por otro tu me has abandonado...
Porque tiene màs dinero que yo...
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! ...
In Raulín Rodríguez's song Parece Mentira, the singer seems to have come to the realization that the relationship he once shared with his lover is over. He tells her that if she wants to leave, he won't hold her back, and that he has already tried everything to make her stay. He acknowledges that she never truly loved him and tells her to go live her life as he will go on living his own without her. The chorus seems to highlight the disbelief that he feels knowing that their relationship ended over the idea that she left him for someone with more money.
The lyrics speak to the universal experience of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a relationship that has ended. The singer understands that even though he has done everything in his power to save their relationship, it is time to let go and move forward. He acknowledges that he cannot change her mind or make her love him, and so he resigns himself to living his life without her. The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-love and the need to let go of toxic relationships to find happiness.
