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.
Señora
Tito Rojas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perdone si la ofendo Señora
Pero debo confesarle lo que siento
La quiero la quiero
Señora
No es su culpa
Me he enamorado como un tonto lo confieso
Es su belleza que me atrae lo comprendo.
Señora
Usted no ha dado ni un minuto de su tiempo.
Me he enamorado como un tonto lo confieso
Es su belleza que me atrae lo comprendo.
Señora...
Señora
Como decirle al corazón,
no debes,
Enamorarte de ella porque
Dueño tiene
si al corazon, no lo manda nadie.
Señora
cerre mi puerta huyendole a mis sentimientos.
Y mis oidos se ensañaron repitiendo
La quiero señora
Siento celos
Cuando el la besa,
siento un nudo en mi garganta.
Un trago amargo que envenena mis entrañas
Si un dia le falla, seré su dueño.
Señora
Yo no le pido que lo deje, si no quiere
Yo no pretendo interponerme, si lo quiere.
Quiero que sepa
que hay un hombre que la quiere
y Por usted daria mi vida
Señora
Perdóneme
Señora
Si yo la ofendo
la quiero
Pero debo confesarle, lo que yo siento
Señora
La quiero
Señora
La quiero
Señora
No es su culpa, es su belleza
Señora
Lo que me atrae
Señora
Yo lo comprendo
la quiero
Me he enamorado de usted, aunque tenga dueño.
Señora
Yo no le pido
Señora
Que usted lo deje
la quiero
Si un dia le falla... aqui me tiene.
Señora
Cerré mi puerta.
Señora
Huyendole al corazón.
la quiero
Si el corazón, no lo manda nadie...
Señora
Y siento celos
Señora
Cuando el la besa
la quiero
Pero que cuanto la quiero
Oiga señora si algun dia el le falla
Aqui estoy yo, El Gallo...
Señora
Yo no pretendo
la quiero
Interponerme
Señora
Si no lo quiere
la quiero
Quiero que sepa.
Señora
Que aqui hay un hombre
la quiero
Que a usted la quiere
Señora
Y por usted
la quiero
Daria la vida
The lyrics to Tito Rojas's song Señora express the singer's feelings towards a woman who he has fallen in love with, despite her being in a relationship with someone else. He asks for forgiveness for confessing his love, but he cannot help how he feels. He admires her beauty, but acknowledges that she has not given him any attention. He confesses that he becomes jealous when seeing her with her partner, but he does not want to come between them. However, he wants to make sure that she knows that there is a man who loves her and would do anything for her, even if he can't be with her.
The song is a classic example of a love ballad, and its lyrics and melody express the passion and emotions of the singer. The repetition of the phrase "la quiero" (I love you) throughout the song emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings towards the woman. It also explores the concept of unrequited love, where the singer loves someone who is unavailable, but he cannot help how he feels.
