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.

Ruega Por Nosotros
Antonio Aguilar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eterno Dios, ante tu altar yo vengo
Suplicante a rogar por el alma de mi amada Dios que la muerte tan cruel tan cruel me arrebataba yo se señor que tu poder es infinito, que eres igual con podres y con ricos y es por eso ohh! Dios que en ti busco el consuelo para este corazón que esta marchito Si estoy dormido la sueño si estoy despierto la miro y por donde quiera que ando su recuerdo va conmigo
Llorando paso las noches, oh Dios, paso las noches llorando
Para mi el sol ya no brilla, entre sobras voy vagando
Señor Dios Eterno Dios ante tu altar estoy aquí de hinojos ella se fue y yo quiero morirme señor perdonanos, perdonanos y
RUEGA POR NOSOTROS!
In the song "Ruega Por Nosotros", Antonio Aguilar is kneeling before the altar of God and pleading for help and comfort over the loss of his beloved who was taken away by the cruel hand of death. He acknowledges that God's power is infinite and that He is impartial to both the powerful and the poor. He seeks solace and comfort in God for his withered heart. The memory of his beloved is with him at all times, whether he is awake or asleep, and he spends his nights crying, wandering in the shadows while the sun no longer shines for him. He prays for forgiveness and asks God to intercede for him and for those who are suffering.
The song is a prayer-turned-lament that speaks of the pain of losing a loved one. It is a plea for divine intervention and comfort in the midst of grief. It depicts the agony one feels when someone they hold dear passes on and how that loss can change their life completely, leaving them with nothing but memories. The lyrics are a moving expression of the anguish and sorrow felt by many people who have lost someone they love.
