He was from a small town in Zacatecas called Tayahua and was born on May 17, 1919, Died 19 June 2007. This town is close to Villanueva, Zacatecas, Mexico. The story goes that he came to California undocumented and that he slept for three days in the Plazita Olvera or Olvera Street in Los Angeles. He began his acting career during the Golden Era of Mexican Cinematography. He is credited with exposing the sport of la charrería, considered to have originated in Mexico to international audiences.

Antonio Aguilar began his recording career in 1950, eventually making over 150 albums and selling more than 25 million records. He was known for his corridos with some of his best known songs, including "Gabino Barrera", "Caballo Prieto Azabache", "Albur de Amor", and "Un Puño De Tierra".[2] Antonio was also largely responsible for the renewed popularity of the tambora music in the mid 1980s, when he single-handedly resuscitated the genre with the hit "Triste Recuerdo". To this day he has been the only Hispanic artist to sell out the Madison Square Garden of New York City for six consecutive nights on 1997.[

Antonio Aguilar lived many years in Puerto Rico where he performed in rodeos and concerts. He made many movies and has been compared to American Western actors like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. This is because Aguilar's charro or cowboy movies entail romantic ballads with him getting the gal. Amongst his best movies are Caballo Prieto Azabache and Bala Perdida. Antonio has appeared in American Western films like 1969's The Undefeated starring John Wayne.

Antonio Aguilar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sabes vida mía porque lloro
Porque te quieeeeero, porque te adoro
Sabes que nunca te he olvidado
Porque tu fuiste mi primer amor
Paso las horas
Paso los dias
Paso los años
Sufriendo a solas chatita mía los desengaños

Sabes que nunca te he olvidado
Porque tu guste mi primer amor
Amo el aroma de las flores
Recuerdo siempre de tus amores
Pide encantadora y fresca brisa
Con tu sonrisa me haces soñar
Paso las horas
Paso los dias
Paso los años

Sabes que nunca te olvidado
Porque tu fuiste mi primer amoooooor
