Ayer Me Dijeron

Tito Rojas' song 'Ayer Me Dijeron' is a poignant narrative of love lost and the lingering emotions that follow a breakup. The lyrics convey a story of someone who has been informed that their former lover is inquiring about them and is visibly upset over their past relationship. The song's protagonist reflects on the irony of this newfound interest, suggesting that if such care and concern had been shown earlier, they might still be together, basking in abundant love.

The chorus emphasizes the consequence of the lover's inaction with the lines 'Si lo hubieras hecho antes de partir,' which translates to 'If you had done it before leaving.' This sentiment is a common theme in songs about regret, where one party realizes the value of the relationship only after it has ended. The repetition of 'Sólo te queda, el hablar de mi' ('All you have left is to talk about me') underscores the finality of the separation and the emptiness that comes with longing for a love that is no longer attainable.

Tito Rojas, known for his salsa music, often explores themes of love, heartbreak, and passion. 'Ayer Me Dijeron' is a testament to his ability to capture the complex emotions associated with romantic relationships. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of reflecting on what could have been if only things had been different. Rojas' emotive delivery and the vibrant salsa rhythm create a powerful juxtaposition between the upbeat music and the melancholic lyrics.
