Los Panchos reached fame internationally with their romantic songs, especially in Latin America, where they are still regarded as one of the top trios of all time. They sold millions of album copies within a few years of being founded.
Julito Rodriguez joined the group in 1952; he was replaced by Johnny Albino in 1958.
The Albino era was one of the most prosperous ones for Los Panchos, as Albino proved to be a very popular singer among Los Panchos fans for ten years. His departure in 1968 was a tumultuous one, as he did not leave on good terms with the group's management.
Los Panchos still continue to perform concerts across Puerto Rico, the United States and Latin America, with a newer cast of singers.
Un Siglo de Ausencia
Trio Los Panchos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voy sufriendo por ti
Y una amarga impaciencia
Me ocaciona vivir
Tan separado de ti
Pensar
Qu no he de verte otra vez
Que soy feliz sin tu amor
Llorar con mi dolor
La vida inclemente
Te seprara de mi
Y un siglo de auscencia
Estoy sufriendo por ti
En la multitud
Busco los ojos que me hicieron tan feliz
Y no logro hayar
En otros labios la ilusion que ya perdi
La vida inclemente
Te seprara de mi
Y un siglo de auscencia
Estoy sufriendo por ti
Y un siglo de ausencia
Voy sufriendo por it (R)
The Trio Los Panchos's song Un Siglo de Ausencia is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks about the pain and longing one feels after being separated from a loved one for a century. The lyrics express the despair and impatience that the singer goes through, as he is separated from the one he loves. The singer goes through the motions of pretending to be happy without his love, and then breaking down in tears as he thinks of the time they spent apart. He searches for his love's eyes in the crowd, hoping to relive their happiness, but to no avail. The song conveys a deep sense of loss, regret, and sorrow, and the pain of not being able to see the person they love.
The use of metaphors is evident throughout the song. The life -inclemente- harsh, unrelenting and the way that it takes away the one you love is likened to a force beyond anyone's control. A separation of a century is a metaphorical way of expressing that loss. The singer's struggle of pretending to be happy without his love, even shedding tears in his own solitude showcases the reality of emotions many people go through. The search for his love's eyes in the crowd only to be left with a sense of hopelessness and regret as he has no one to share his love with is yet another example of the lyrics reiterating the depth and complexity of human emotions.
