    Una de las piezas más conocidas internacionalmente del repertorio del género bolero es «Total», un tema inspirado por una mujer que su autor vio una sola vez y de manera fugaz, la que nunca supo que había sido la inspiradora de una de las canciones más versionadas en el continente americano, que comienza así: » Pretendiendo humillarme pregonaste / el haber desdeñado mi pasión / y fingiendo una honda pena imaginaste / que moriria de desesperación».

    Ricardo García Perdomo, su autor, era cubano y había nacido en Santa Clara hace cien años -bueno, en realidad el centenario se cumplió exactamente el 20 de abril pasado, pues había nacido en 1917-, desde pequeño residió con sus padres en la Perla del Sur, Cienfuegos y en 1942 se trasladó a residir en La Habana, donde estudió y residió hasta 1991, en que se marcha a estados Unidos en busca de poder conseguir el pago de sus derechos de autor, lo cual nunca logró, hasta que la muerte lo sorprendió, en un pequeño cuarto de Miami Beach, rodeado de recortes de periódicos y de recuerdos de sus éxitos, el 13 de septiembre de 1996.

    One of the most internationally known pieces of the bolero genre repertoire is "Total", a song inspired by a woman that its author saw only once and in a fleeting way, the one who never knew that it had been the inspiration for one of the most popular songs. versions in the American continent, which begins like this: »Pretending to humiliate me, you proclaimed / that you had scorned my passion / and feigning a deep sorrow you imagined / that I would die of despair».

    Ricardo García Perdomo, its author, was Cuban and had been born in Santa Clara one hundred years ago - well, in reality the centenary was exactly last April 20, since he was born in 1917 -, since he was a child he lived with his parents in La Perla del Sur, Cienfuegos and in 1942 he moved to reside in Havana, where he studied and lived until 1991, when he left for the United States in search of being able to obtain payment of his copyright, which he never succeeded, until the Death surprised him, in a small room in Miami Beach, surrounded by newspaper clippings and memories of his successes, on September 13, 1996

    «Total»

    Ricardo Garcia Perdomo

    Pretendiendo humillarme pregonaste
    el haber desdeñado mi pasion
    y fingiendo una honda pena imaginaste
    que moriria de desesperacion

    Total, si me hubieras querido
    ya me hubiera olvidado de tu querer
    ya ves que fue tiempo perdido
    el que tu meditaste
    para ahora decirme que no puedes ser

    Pensar que llegar a quererte
    es creer que la muerte
    se pudiera evitar

    Total, si no tengo tus besos
    no me muero por eso
    ya yo estoy cansado de tanto besar
    vivi sin conocerte, puedo vivir sin ti

    "Total"

    Ricardo Garcia Perdomo

    Pretending to humiliate me you proclaimed
    having scorned my passion
    and feigning a deep sorrow you imagined
    who would die of despair

    Total, if you had loved me
    I would have already forgotten your love
    you see it was wasted time
    the one that you meditated
    for now to tell me that you can't be

    Thinking that getting to love you
    is to believe that death
    it could be avoided

    Total, if I don't have your kisses
    I'm not dying for that
    I'm already tired of kissing so much
    I lived without knowing you, I can live without you
