Y Entonces
Tito Rodriguez & La rondalla venezolana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No sé por qué me preguntó
Si puedo cansarme de ti

Ni el fin de las cosas pudiera callar
El canto del eco de mi corazón

Espera que se canse la brisa
Que las nubes tengan que parar

Cuando ya no sople el viento
Entonces yo me cansaré de ti

Espera que se canse la lluvia
Que del cielo ya no caiga más

Cuando ya no corra un río entonces
Yo me cansaré de ti

Cuando la hierba del monte
Se canse ya de crecer, y que los claveles rojos
Se cansen de perfumar

Cuando se canse la vida
Entonces yo me cansaré de ti
Entonces yo me cansaré de ti

Cuando la hierba del monte
Se canse ya de crecer y que los claveles rojos
Se cansen de perfumar

Cuando se canse la vida

Entonces yo me cansaré de ti
Entonces yo me cansaré de ti

Overall Meaning

In "Y Entonces," Tito Rodriguez & La rondalla venezolana sings about the impossibility of their love ever fading away. The song is essentially saying that there is nothing in the world that could make the love between two people fade away. The lyrics start off with the singer asking why someone would ask if they could ever get tired of each other. The answer is that even the end of things would not be enough to stop the echo of their love in their hearts. They ask for impossible things to happen like waiting for the breeze to tire or for the clouds to stop moving, but even then they will never tire of each other. The song continues to make more impossible requests like waiting for the rain to stop falling or for the grass to stop growing, but they still will never tire of each other. The lyrics suggest that their love is so deep and encompassing that it will last forever.

The song's romantic essence was further accentuated by the background vocals of "ooohs" and "aaaahs," performed by La Rondalla Venezolana. It added an ethereal and dreamy quality to the song. The song's instrumentation is soft and soothing with a mix of guitars, light percussion, and strings. There is an almost melancholic feel to the melody, perhaps signifying the bittersweet nature of love.
