Júnior), a member of the Pop group Los Brincos. In 1975, after having two of her three children, she retired from the film industry and in 1977 re-launched her singing career. She recorded the first of several albums of Mexican folk (ranchera) music produced by Juan Gabriel which sold millions of records not only in Mexico, but also Spain and the rest of Latin America. After temporary problems with Juan Gabriel she recorded a Mexican music album with Marco Antonio Solís and had similar success.

Lamentablemente te he olvidado
Yo te dije que no ibas a olvidarme
No soy facil de olvidar
Lo has comprobado
Yo te dije y te jure que eras mi vida
Que eras todo lo mejor que habia tenido
Que para ella y para ti yo habia nacido
Y esa tarde que dijiste que volvias
Muy segura estaba yo que no vendrias
Yo sabia que te esperaba otro cariño
Y lo que ella queria de ti tambien sabia
Pero que fueras capaz yo no creia que me hicieras
Tanto daño. tanto daño
Y hoy me dices que te hago mucha falta
No puedo volver contigo te he olvidado
Te perdono todo el daño que me hiciste
Pero no me pidas que vuelva contigo
Me da pena que me digas que regrese
Cuando yo no puedo ya ni ser tu amiga
Me da pena que me digas que regrese
Cuando yo no puedo ya ni ser tu amiga
Yo te dije y te jure que eras mi vida
Que eras todo lo mejor que habia tenido
Que a mi madre y a ti solo queria
Que para ella y para ti yo habia nacido
Te perdono todo el daño que me has hecho
Pero no me pidas que vuelva contigo
Me da pena que me digas que regrese
Cuando yo no puedo ya ni ser tu amiga
Me da pena que me digas que regrese
Cuando yo no puedo ya ni ser tu amiga
The lyrics of Rocio Durcal's song "Tarde" speak of a woman who has been hurt by a man who she loved deeply, but who ultimately betrayed her. The song's central message is one of regret and a sense of missed opportunity - the man realizes too late that he has lost the woman who he once loved and who once loved him deeply. The woman, meanwhile, has moved on and no longer wants anything to do with him.
In the first verse, the woman makes it clear that the man has left it too late - she has already forgotten him and no longer needs him. She reminds him of the promises he made to her and how he failed to keep them. She then says that he has learned what kind of person she is - strong and uncompromising.
In the second verse, the woman tells the man that she once loved him and saw him as the most important thing in her life - even more so than her own mother. She also talks about how she knew that he was going to return to her, but that he had found another woman and was no longer interested in her.
The chorus of the song is very powerful - the woman tells the man that she forgives him for everything he has done to her but that she cannot return to him. She is deeply hurt by what he has done to her and she is no longer capable of being his friend. The repetition of the line "me da pena que me digas que regrese" (it makes me sad that you tell me to come back) drives home the sense of finality in the relationship.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the pain of lost love and the difficulties of trying to put things right too late in the game. It is a powerful testament to the emotional complexity of human relationships and the damage that can be caused by betrayal.
