Todo Tiene Su Hora is Juan Luis Guerra’s musical pep talk for anyone whose heart feels worn out. Over bright merengue rhythms, the Dominican legend reassures a heartbroken friend that “lo viejo pasó” – the past is gone – and that new, better love is already on its way. Patience is the secret ingredient: just as the moon waits for the tide, and the güira (metal scraper) eagerly awaits the beat of the tambora drum, true affection arrives at exactly the right moment.
Vivid Caribbean images turn the advice into a colorful postcard. We see a moon laughing over waves, scarlet hibiscus (“cayenas”) glowing against a sunrise, and rain that falls like a blessing. All nature seems to whisper the same message: every gift, especially love, has its perfect hour because it is “un regalo del Señor” – a gift from God. So smile, dress yourself in this song, and let its upbeat groove remind you that good things are already heading your way.
