Cuando Ya No Me Quieras
Tito Rodriguez & La rondalla venezolana Lyrics

In Tito Rodriguez's song, "Cuando Ya No Me Quieras," the singer acknowledges that his lover no longer loves him, and he does not wish for fake affection or compassion. He accepts and takes responsibility for his lover's forgetfulness, indicating that he will not blame or criticize her, nor does he want her to feel obligated to comfort his pain. Instead, he will leave this relationship, singing his most melancholic poem. He vows to tell the world what his lover meant to him and hopes that his love will continue to grow. Even when no one wants to listen to his old songs, Rodriguez concludes that he will find peace in some faraway village.

The lyrics evoke a sense of melancholy, acceptance, and isolation, all the while emphasizing the beauty of poetic expression. In the face of rejection, the singer preserves his dignity, refusing to resent or demand pity from his lover, which is somewhat unusual for love songs. He cherishes the memory of his lover and celebrates it, unburdened by regret or envy. Finally, he accepts his fate and finds redemption in his art.
