Vargas began his career as a merengue singer in 1980 when he participated in the Festival de la Voz, a Dominican Republic contest that was sponsored by Santo Domingo television's channel 9. He came in second place at that festival.
Two years later, Vargas joined Los Hijos del Rey. An orchestra whose frontmen were Fernando Villalona and Raulin Rosendo. He remained there until 1984 when he joined Dionis Fernandez y El Equipo lasting another 2 years. With Dionis, Vargas began becoming famous, as that orchestra had fan bases in Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Panama and the Eastern coast of the United States, among other places.
Vargas left Dionis in 1986 and became the main lead vocalist for Los Hijos del Rey and released his first full length LP with Karen Records including the hit "La Quiero A Morir", which is indeed a reprise of "Je l'aime à mourir" by french singer Francis Cabrel. He also released another album backed again by LHdR in 1987 scoring another international seccess.
Vargas was also awarded in 1988; the Art Critics Association of the Dominican Republic honored him with their Casandra award for his self-titled concert, "Sergio", giving him the Spectacle of the Year award. He also obtained the Casandra award for best video-clip, for a song named "Vampiras".
In 1989 he was offered a contract to sign the then CBS International. After much contemplation, he left Karen Records and signed with CBS.
1991 was a particularly productive year in Vargas' career; he earned another Casandra award after participating in a television special named "Este es mi Pais" ("This is my Country"). He also received a Casandra to acknowledge his popularity outside the Dominican Republic and he sang in front of 20,000 spectators at New York's Madison Square Garden as part of that city's Carnival of Merengue. He filmed a television special that was directed by Jean Luis Jorge for Sony Music International.
In 1993, Vargas received a golden album, and he was one of the singers that participated in Miami's famous Calle Ocho Festival.

Sergio Vargas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esta diciendo que este amor
Esta marcado
Que al final las cuentas pagaremos
O vivimos en pecado
Que vamos a hacer si al conocernos
Nos sentimos embrujados
Y supimos que no habia remedio
Nos gustamos demasiado
Ni tú ni yo
Les dejaremos ofendernos
Ni tú ni yo
Somos culpables de querernos
Ni tú ni yo
Podemos ya vivir sin vernos
Aunque este amor
Pueda llevarnos al infierno
Se que mucha gente
Esta diciendo que este amor
Huele a pecado
Que a ninguna parte llegaremos
Que yo estoy obsesionado
Pero se que tu tambien me quieres
Porque ya lo has demostrado
Y que nuestro amor es para siempre
Nos gustamos demasiado
Ni tú ni yo
Les dejaremos ofendernos
Ni tú ni yo
Somos culpables de querernos
Ni tú ni yo
Podemos ya vivir sin vernos
Aunque este amor
Pueda llevarnos al infierno
Ni tú ni yo
Ni tú ni yo
Ni tú ni yo
Ni tú ni yo
Ni tú ni yo
Les dejaremos ofendernos
Ni tú ni yo
Somos culpables de querernos
Ni tú ni yo
Podemos ya vivir sin vernos
Aunque este amor
Pueda llevarnos al infierno
