He entered onto the scene in the early 1990s, being the first rural bachatero to reach a mainstream audience with his hit "Voy pa'lla", shortly after Blas Durán had appropriated the electric guitar for the genre. Santos' adoption of soft romantic lyrics was more socially accepted than the bawdy cabaret style common to bachata before him, and he shortly became the genre's leading artist, helping move bachata into the Caribbean Latino mainstream.
Antony Santos is currently the best paid bachatero in the Dominican Republic. He has already signed the contract to offer a concert in Puerto Rico at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum, a venue with a seating capacity of 10,000 people. This concert was on May 12, 2007 and he's said to have been paid an unprecedented US$90,000 for this one presentation alone.
Ay Querida

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que paso porque no viene ya
Mis ojos estan cansados mirando
Y ni siquiera la veo pasar
Si tu no vienes me van a ver llorando
Ay querida, ay querida
Ya no me digas que no me estas amando
Ay querida, ay querida
No lo pienses mas, y regresa ya
Tu eres quien me da, la felicidad
Ay caramba, ay caramba, ay caramba
No te quiero perder
Pase mucho trabajo por ti
Ay no me quieras matar corazón
Es que me siento tan acostumbrado
Que ya no puedo vivir sin tu amor
Ay me da miedo y aqui estoy sufriendo
Ay querida, ay querida
Y mi alma casi se esta muriendo
Ay querida, ay querida
Ya no juegues mas, y ven para aca
En un rinconcito, te voy a esperar
Ay caramba, ay caramba, ay caramba
No te quiero perder
Coro
Como yo te sigo queriendo
Como yo te sigo adorando
Yo siento un dolor en mi pecho
Me mata, me mata, me mata (BIS)
Ya no aguanto mas, esta soledad
En donde estara, cuando llegara
Ay caramba, ay caramba, ay caramba
No te quiero perder
Mambo
Yo me encuentro tan desesperado
Que no encuentro que hacer no, no, no
Me esta doliendo mucho el corazón
Si no apareces pronto muero yo
Me da vergüenza de mi estan hablando
Ay querida, ay querida
Porque hace rato por ti estoy gritando
Ay querida, ay querida
Quisiera saber, en donde tu estas
Me vas a matar, yo voy a llorar
Ay caramba, ay caramba, ay caramba
No te quiero perder
Coro
Como yo te sigo queriendo
Como yo te sigo adorando
Yo siento un dolor en mi pecho
Me mata, me mata, me mata (Bis)
