Beginnings
In 2006, when he was seven, he sang for the first time in public at the regional music competition for children "Veo Veo" organized by the Teresa Rabal Foundation in Andalucia, being awarded with a special mention of the jury. Two years later, he won the revelation award at the national music contest held in Murcia being selected to represent Spain at the "Veo veo" international competition.
In 2005, Abraham auditioned for the television show "Menuda Noche" on the Canal Sur TV of Andalucia but was not cast for the show. Two years later he attended "Menuda Noche" to support his older brother Tony Mateo, who has been chosen to sing in the show, but Abraham was surprised by the show's presenter Juan y Medio and sang in place of his brother. Since then, Abraham has been a frequent guest of "Menuda Noche" singing in front of internationally recognized latin singers such as Raphael, David Bisbal, David Bustamante, and Juan Luis Guerra, who have praised Abraham for his strong vocal abilities and stage presence. Raphael said about him: "That's singing without imitating anyone! You are a great singer!", David Bustamante: "You sing like the angels! Impressive! I think he is unique!", and David Bisbal: "I have no words! He has a wonderful technique, a very nice voice and a nice tessitura! I predict a huge success!".
First album
Since his first appearances in "Menuda Noche", a friend of Abraham's family posted in Youtube videos of his performances, which soon enjoyed great popularity and caught the attention of producers of EMI Music Spain. Early 2009, when he was ten, he signed a contract with EMI Music Spain and released in December of the same year his debut album, recorded in Madrid, under the title Abraham Mateo.
The album produced by Jacobo Calderon and Jose Luis de la Peña contains twelve songs, seven of them were composed by Calderon himself and four tracks are covers of popular latin songs such as Raphael's "Cuando tu no estas" ("When you are not here"), Alejandro Sanz's "Los dos cogidos de la mano" ("The two holding hands"), Laura Pausini's "La soledad" ("La solitudine/The loneliness") and Luis Fonsi's "Imaginame sin ti" ("Imagine me without you"). The album includes a duet with the french teen singer Caroline Costa, the runner-up in the 2008 edition of the television contest Incroyable Talent, the french version of America's Got Talent. Abraham and Caroline recorded for the album a spanish version of Badfinger's "Without you", the song has also been covered with great success by Mariah Carey. To promote the album, Abraham has toured through several cities in Spain and performed in many spanish radio and television shows, including the popular television programs Mas que baile, Tu si que vales, the show of Maria Teresa Campos, and the Christmas Eve Special of the Telecinco channel. He was also invited to perform at the International Carnival Maspalomas in Gran Canaria.
In summer 2010, he recorded his first song in english, a cover version of the Celine Dion hit I surrender.
Acting
Abraham acted in the TV movies "Días sin Luz" (2009) and "Raphael: una historia de superacion personal" (2010) both produced by Antena 3 Films and broadcasted by the spanish television channel Antena 3. In the biopic "Raphael: una historia de superacion personal", he portrayed the worldwide acclamed spanish singer Raphael in the early years of his career and sang some of the vocal tracks.

Lágrimas De Amor
Abraham Mateo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y te imagines, todo mi llanto.
Para que un día tú también veas en tus carnes padecer
Toda esta angustia que me has causado.
Para que sepas que llevo a fuego
Marcado una y otra vez este tormento,
Pues ya deshecho ya mi fe
Yo ya no estoy para entender,
Y ya sabes
Que en esta vida todo se acaba pagando
Y aunque te ocultes el destino habrá encontrado
Tus lágrimas de amor.
Y ya sabes
Que yo no estoy para servirte aquí a tu antojo.
Y te aseguro que derramarán tus ojos,
Más lágrimas de amor.
Para que sepas mi sufrimiento
Voy a decirte así de claro
Que no es tan fácil perdonar
A quien te tanto te hizo llorar
De eso recojas lo que has sembrado.
Para que entiendas lo que he pasado
Ahora soy yo quien te está despreciando
Ya no hay cabida para ti,
Cerré la puerta ya por fin,
Tú muerde el polvo y yo me aparto.
Y ya sabes
Que en esta vida todo se acaba pagando
Y aunque te ocultes el destino habrá encontrado
Tus lágrimas de amor.
Y ya sabes
Que yo no estoy para servirte aquí a tu antojo.
Y te aseguro que derramarán tus ojos,
Más lágrimas de amor.
Y ya sabes
Que yo no estoy para servirte aquí a tu antojo.
Y te aseguro que derramarán tus ojos,
Más lágrimas de amor.
The lyrics of Abraham Mateo's song Lágrimas De Amor could be interpreted as a message to an ex-partner who has caused the singer much pain and suffering. The lyrics suggest that the singer is no longer willing to continue suffering in silence and is expressing their emotions through tears. They want their ex-partner to understand the depth of their pain and perhaps feel the same way in the future. The singer also mentions that they have lost faith in their ex-partner and cannot forgive them easily for causing so much pain. The lyrics suggest a sense of closure, as the singer appears to have finally moved on from the painful experience and has closed the door on the relationship.
The overall message of the song seems to be that everyone will have to face the consequences of their actions, and those who cause pain to others will eventually experience it themselves. The lyrics also touch on themes of forgiveness and closure, suggesting that it may take time for someone to be able to forgive and move on from a traumatic experience. The use of the imagery of tears and pain in the lyrics adds an emotional depth to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and betrayal.
