Many of his songs were covers of English-language rock and pop songs, with arrangements provided by music teachers and producers Enrique Okamura and Eduardo Magallanes. Jordán popularized several Bubblegum rock songs among youth in the Spanish-speaking world, singing songs by the 1910 Fruitgum Company, the Ohio Express and The Turtles as well as introducing the repertoire of singer-songwriters like Neil Diamond and Joe South.

Jordán left the stage for a number of years to pursue business and sports. In the mid-1980s, he returned to performing and even recorded a new version of his onetime hit Hazme una señal (a cover version of Brenton Wood's Gimme Little Sign). He also performed at a reunion concert with original Mexican rock acts such as Los Rockin' Devils, Los Teen Tops and Los Hermanos Carrión in 2006.

Roberto Jordan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ríe que viéndote reír
Me sentiré cercano a ti
No dejes que pueda olvidar
Porque solo voy a sufrir

Vivir no tiene historia
Si no tengo la gloria de tu amor
Sin ti el sol se detendrá

Y ya no brillara mi amor

Di tan solo una vez más
Que tengo un lugar en ti
Y yo mi vida te daré
Por ser lo que eres para mi

Tú crees que digo sin sentir
Lo que diciendo estoy
Que solo son palabras
Que al azar no siente el corazón

Lalala lalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lala lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
La lala

Tú crees que digo sin sentir
Lo que diciendo estoy
Que solo son palabras
Que al azar no siente el corazón

Que solo son palabras
Que al azar no siente el corazón

Que solo son palabras
Que al azar no siente el corazón
