He refined the sound of his guitar and modified the language to a more romantic tone to conquer a different audience, then all his previous friends. Doing so he took Bachata to a different level, than it was. Taking it from just playing in cabarets and the North West part of the Island to the rest of the country and then internationally.

aqui en mi soledad
pensando en tu cumpleaños
sin acordarme mas
que el fuego del dolor
me hiciera tanto daño.
Voy a brindar por ti
lo mucho que he sufrido
no puedo reprochar
que culpa tienes tu?
si te invadio el olvido.
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
amada mia
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
mi eterno amor
que jamas el dolor (que jamas el dolor)
te cubra el alma
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
y te acompane Dios.
Voy a brindar por ti
por tu felicidad
por todos tus deseos
no quiero que el dolor
me empuje a blasfemar
ni a maldecir tus besos.
Como quisiera hoy
aprisionar el sol adentro de esta copa
despues volver a ti
y en un beso de amor
dejartelo en la boca.
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
amada mia
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
mi eterno amor
que jamas el dolor (que jamas el dolor)
te cubra el alma
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
y te acompane Dios.
Voy a brindar por ti
por todas esas cosas nuestras
por todas esas cosas que estan muertas
voy a levantar mi copa
para gritar, para gritar
para gritar que te quiero
sin importarme nada
sin importarme la vida
esta vida que estoy viviendo
pues por encima de todo
por encima del mismo sufrimiento
te voy a seguir amando
te voy a seguir amando
te voy a seguir queriendo
aunque transcurran mil tiempos.
Voy a brindar por ti
por tu felicidad
por todos tus deseos
no quiero que el dolor
me empuje a blasfemar
ni a maldecir tus besos.
Como quisiera hoy
apresionar el sol adentro de esta copa
despues volver a ti
y en un beso de amor
dejartelo en la boca.
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
amada mia
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
mi eterno amor
que jamas el dolor (que jamas el dolor)
te cubra el alma
Que los cumplas feliz (que los cumplas feliz)
y te acompane Dios.
In "Por Mi Timidez," Anthony Santos sings about toasting to a loved one's happiness despite his own sadness and pain. The lyrics detail how he recognizes the joy that his loved one brings him and the agony he has felt, and how he chooses to focus on the former by celebrating the person's birthday in solitude. He acknowledges the pain that has been inflicted on him by love, but he does not blame the person for it because he knows that the person genuinely forgot about him. In the chorus, he continues his toast and wished his beloved a happy birthday, promising to always love and care for them despite anything and everything that happens in life.
Overall, "Por Mi Timidez" is about putting things into perspective and choosing to focus on the good rather than letting the hurt consume you. It's a beautiful expression of love, loyalty, and selflessness that resonates with anyone who has suffered in the name of love.
