Rojas's music career began in 1975 when he auditioned with Pedro Conga and his International Orchestra and was hired as a singer. After a short period of time, he left the band and joined the "Conjunto Borincuba", conducted by Justo Betancourt, as lead singer. With this band, he participated in the recording of "Con Amor" (With Love) which became a hit in 1978.

That same year Rojas joined the Fania All-Stars and had a hit song with "El Campesino" (The Farmer). After spending some time with the Fania All-Stars, Rojas decided to form his own band the "Conjunto Borincano", but the venture was short lived. In 1987 and 1989, he had hits with the salsa versions of the ballads "Noche de Bodas" (Wedding Night), and "Quiereme Como Soy" (Love me the way I am). These were accomplished after he joined the "Puerto Rican Power" band.

In 1990, Rojas went "solo" and recorded the albums "Condename" (1990) "Sensual" (1991) and "A Mi Estilo" (My Style) (1994), however it was his 1995 recording "Por Propio Derecho" (On my own right), that placed Rojas on the Latin Billboards hit list. He gained the recognition he always wanted when he won a double Platinum Record Award, the Paoli Prize for "Best Salsa Artist of the Year" and an "ACE" Award.

In 1996, Rojas had hits with Humildemente (Humbly) and Pal' Pueblo (For my town), he also released 20th Aniversario, Alegrias y Penas and Navidad con Tito in 1999. Rojas continued to record music steadily into the new millenium. His most recent album album "Sin Comentarios" (Without Comments) was released in 2007.

Ayer me dijeron
Que de vez en cuando
Preguntas por mí

Ayer me dijeron
Que de vez en cuando
Preguntas por mí
También me dijeron

Yo la vi llorando
Cuando hablan de ti

Si lo hubieras hecho antes de partir
Si lo hubieras hecho antes de sufrir
Hoy tendrías tanto, tanto, tanto amor
Y solo te queda el hablar de mí

En mi ya no hay nada
Solo apenas cosas
Que me hablan de ti
Y yo me pregunto
Cuando alguien me dice
Que lloras por mi

Si lo hubieras hecho antes de partir
Si lo hubieras hecho antes de sufrir
Hoy tendrías tanto, tanto, tanto amor
Y solo te queda
El hablar de mí

Solo te queda el hablar de mí
Y ahora preguntas por mí, woh oh

The song "Lo Que Te Queda" by Tito Rojas talks about a woman who left a man and now regrets her decision as she asks about him. He hears that she sometimes asks about him and even cries when people mention him. The lyrics suggest that if she had shown her love before leaving or before experiencing the heartbreak of separation, she would still have his love now.

The lyrics convey a message of regret and missed opportunities in love. The man feels that the woman did not express her feelings enough while she had the chance, and now it is too late. However, he still thinks of her and wonders if she truly misses him or is merely curious about his well-being. The repetition of the line "solo te queda hablar de mí" (you can only talk about me) emphasizes the idea that the woman's regret and thoughts are all she has left.

Overall, Tito Rojas's "Lo Que Te Queda" is a beautiful and emotional song that highlights the importance of expressing one's love before it is too late.
