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.

NOCHES ETERNAS
Antonio Aguilar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que lenta mi agonia
Que triste vida mia
Vivir pensando en ti
Porque sin la esperanza
Vivir es un tormento
Y tu en mi pensamiento
Que largas son las horas
Que negro mi desvelo
Que grande desconsuelo
Pensar que te perdi
Quisiera yo olvidarte
Borrarte de mis suenos
Pero es un vano empeno
Que yo te olvide a ti
Como esas golondrinas
Buscando primavera
Asi nina hechicera
Un dia dijiste adios
Te fuiste para siempre
Volaste de mi lado
Y solo as dejado
Recuerdos de tu amor
Que eternas son mis noches
Que eternas son mis noches
Que lenta mi agonia
Que triste vida mia
Vivir pensando en ti
Porque sin la esperanza
Vivir es un tormento
Y tu en mi pensamiento
Me agrandas mi sufrir
The lyrics of Antonio Aguilar's Noches Eternas speak of eternal nights, slow agony, and a sad life spent thinking about a lost lover. The singer laments that living without hope is torment, and that the mere thought of the person they lost amplifies their suffering. The lines "Que largas son las horas, que negro mi desvelo" (How long are the hours, how black my insomnia) evoke a sense of hopelessness and despair.
The singer expresses a desire to forget the lost lover and erase them from their dreams, yet this proves to be a futile effort. The final stanza likens the lost lover to a magical enchantress who flew away like a swallow seeking the spring. The singer is left with only memories of their love, while their nights continue to stretch on in endless anguish.
