Verse 1
Every time that I ask you
When, how, and where
You always answer me
Maybe, maybe, maybe
And so the days pass
And I'm growing desperate
And you just keep answering
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Chorus 1
You're wasting time
Thinking, thinking
By all that you hold dear
How much longer, how much longer?
Verse 2
And so the days pass
And I'm growing desperate
And you just keep answering
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Every time that I ask you
When, how, and where
You always answer me
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Chorus 2
You're wasting time
Thinking, thinking
By all that you hold dear
How much longer, how much longer?
You're wasting time
Thinking, thinking
By all that you hold dear
How much longer, how much longer?
And so the days pass
And I'm growing desperate
And you just keep answering
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe

Quizás — Perhaps / Maybe

Quizás is a beautiful Spanish word for "perhaps" or "maybe," and it forms the very heart of this classic song. It represents the uncertain and frustratingly vague answer the singer always receives when asking for commitment from his lover.

This single word captures the entire emotional theme of the song: a mix of hope, doubt, and the quiet desperation of waiting. The triple repetition in the chorus, "Quizás, quizás, quizás," turns it into a haunting and unforgettable musical hook that perfectly expresses a lover's limbo.

Have you ever tried to get a straight answer out of someone who just loves keeping you on the hook? That is the exact frustration behind "Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps). In this classical-pop duet, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli teams up with Jennifer Lopez to sing about one of the most annoying games in romance: indecision. The narrator wants specifics, asking cuándo, cómo y dónde ("when, how, and where"), but gets hit with the same non-committal answer every single time: quizás ("maybe"). It is smooth, playful, and deeply exasperating all at once.

The lyrics do not waste time on subtle hints. The speaker bluntly calls out the other person with Estás perdiendo el tiempo / Pensando, pensando ("You are wasting time / Thinking, thinking") and begs Hasta cuándo, hasta cuándo ("Until when, until when"). While days slip away (Y así pasan los días), one person grows desperate (yo desesperando) while the other just floats along on maybes. If you are learning Spanish, notice how por lo que más tú quieras literally means "for what you love most," which works like the English plea "for heaven's sake." It perfectly channels that feeling of wanting to shake someone until they finally make up their mind.
