His rise to fame was gradual and slow. At first, his debut album (que pides tu) didn't sell much. Alex started to tour national radios with his guitar, the way many American pop stars do, to sing his songs live and be interviewed. Eventually this strategy worked and his album finally hit the charts. His second album, Fantasia o Realidad, which would win Ubago international stardom, continued with the succes of the single 'aunque no te pueda ver'The latter record achieved gold and platinum status, given its strong sales in Spain, Latin America, and the U.S. In 2006 Ubago released Aviones de Cristal, featuring the song "Viajar Contigo," one of Ubago's many Billboard chart successes. He immediately made it to the top of the Latin music charts, and Ubago’s face appeared on almost every cover of Latin and Spanish entertainment magazines, including Rolling Stone. He performed over 100 concerts in his home country after that release, and his album went platinum several times worldwide. He is currently one the most successful and sought-after Spanish pop singers.

Alex Ubago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ni podía imaginarme una noche sin tu risa
Yo no quería sepárame ni un minuto de tus labios
Y podía pasearme por el mundo de tu mano
Yo no quise hacerte daño
Pero el tiempo me ha engañado
Y mi vida va cambiando
Pero a quién le importa si la vida es corta
Y a quién le importa si tú pronto serás otra
Yo no podía imaginarte estando fuera de mi vida
Y ahora tengo que encontrar yo la salida
Hace tiempo que no hablamos de lo que esto significa
Para mí no es algo vano, pienso en ello cada día
Y me dejaba tantas cosas por decirte aquella noche
En que decidí dejarte y perderte para siempre
Yo no quise hacerte daño
Pero el tiempo me ha engañado
Y mi vida va cambiando
Y cambiando, oh
Pero a quién le importa si la vida es corta
Y a quién le importa si tú pronto serás otra
Yo no podía imaginarte estando fuera de mi vida
Y ahora tengo que encontrar yo la salida, ah
Pero a quién le importa si la vida es corta
Y a quién le importa si tú pronto serás otra
Yo no podía imaginarte estando fuera de mi vida
Y ahora tengo que encontrar yo la salida
Me dejaba tantas cosas por decirte aquella noche
En que decidí dejarte y perderte para siempre
Yo no podía imaginarte estando fuera de mi vida
Y ahora tengo que encontrar yo la salida
In Alex Ubago's song "Salida," the singer expresses regret over the ending of a past relationship. Initially, the singer couldn't imagine life without their partner and cherished their moments together, but time has passed and things have changed. Despite having tried to act responsibly and not hurt their partner, the passage of time has deceived them and the singer's life is evolving in a different direction. The chorus reinforces the idea that life is short and ultimately they must find their own exit from the situation.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and missed opportunities, as the singer reflects on the things they would have liked to say to their former partner but never did. The repetition of the line "yo no podía imaginarte estando fuera de mi vida" emphasizes the idea that the singer never thought they would be separated. The sense of inevitability in these lines heightens the song's emotional impact, as the singer grapples with the reality of their situation.
