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».

«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
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
