After that, he sang in a live concert with Héctor and Tito in 2003, which was released later as a CD and DVD, which included the songs that became instant hits, Baila Morena and Amor de Colegio.
In 2005, Don Omar released the reggaeton album "Da Hitman Presents Reggaeton Latino", which broke the record for "Highest First Week Sales for a Reggaeton Album" by selling over 31,000 units in its first week, resulting a debut of #61 in The Billboard 200. Wisin y Yandel held that record until "Reggaeton Latino" was released.
The first single released from Reggaeton Latino, "Dale Don Dale [Remix]" , which features rapper Fabolous, debuted at #1 on the crossover chart.
He is currently signed to VI Music through Universal Music Latino.
In early 2006, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá publicly mentioned interest in having Don Omar participate in a program against School Desertion. However, the Secretary of Education has rejected Don Omar sponsoring it due to his lyrics. The local press has also mentioned that Omar himself did not finish High School.
Currently has his own record label "El Orfanato" (The Orphanage) and had a magnificent performance in the 2011 Latin Music Billboard Awards where he received the Award for Latin Rythm Airplay.

Don Omar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aquellos brazos de hombre que la aprietan fuerte (fuerte)
Todavía le late el alma, el corazón no lo siente (no lo siente)
Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte
Y vuela, vuela, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que ya no me quedan
Angelito, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que tampoco te quedan
Muchas horas de vida
Marqué tu partida, angelito
Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte (de la muerte)
Aquellos brazos de hombre que la aprietan fuerte (fuerte)
Todavía le late el alma, el corazón no lo siente (no lo siente)
Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte
Y vuela, vuela, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que ya no me quedan
Muchas horas de vida desde tu partida
Angelito, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que tampoco te quedan
Muchas horas de vida
Marqué tu partida, angelito
Sorprendio en la cama de un extraño
Jugando a quererse
Nunca pensó que la venganza a un desengaño
La hicieran perderse
Tal vez fueron las copas, el ambiente o tanta gente
O aquella excusa frecuente
O aquel refran de que la vida es sola una
Y hay que vivir el presente
Qué engaño, dos extraños jugando a quererse
En lo oscuro el amor no puede verse
Es que tengas la vida de frente
Es morir o détente, detente
Qué engaño, dos extraños jugando a quererse
En lo oscuro el amor no puede verse
Es que tengas la vida de frente
Es morir o détente, detente
De nada vale llorar
Tan solo queda volar
Solo expande tus alas
Coje vuelo y no vuelvas más
De nada vale llorar
Tan solo queda volar
Solo expande tus alas
Coge vuelo y no vuelvas más
Y vuela, vuela
Y vuela, vuela
Vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que ya no me quedan
Muchas horas de vida desde tu partida
Angelito, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que tampoco te quedan
Muchas horas de vida
Marqué tu partida, angelito
Vuela
Estos es una experencia de dos enamorados
De dos soñadores
De dos amantes
Que permitieron que tan solo en un minuto de su vida
Decidieron dentro de la misma
Irónico el momento
En que el amor, se convierte en muerte
Que descansen en paz
Vive la vida minuto a minuto
Y encontrarás en cada uno de ellos
Un motivo por el cual conducirte
En la forma correcta
Te lo aseguro
The lyrics of Don Omar's song "Angelito" depict the tragic story of two lovers who allowed their love to lead them astray. The woman wakes up one morning under the wings of death, having been caught in bed with another man. She feels her soul beating, but her heart does not feel anything. Her partner is also under the wings of death, with strong arms embracing him. As they both face the reality of death, they urge their beloved "angelito" to fly away and embrace life while they still can.
The song seems to be a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the present. The lovers' decision to follow their desires and indulge in their affair ultimately leads to their demise. The last lines of the song encourage listeners to live life "minuto a minuto" (minute by minute) and find reasons to lead a good life in every moment.
