The group began performing together in 1958, at which time it was composed of the four Avila Aranda brothers. They debuted at the Fantasio theater in Mérida in 1960, then performed in Belize, where they took the name Los Baby's del Rock. They recorded their first sides for Discos Orfeón in 1959, but the label did not release them until 1962 once rock & roll began to become popular in Mexico. They toured throughout Mexico in the middle of the decade, and around this time they also made numerous appearances in television advertisements. In 1964, they made their first recordings for Discos Peerless, often covering the hits of foreign groups to great success. They became one of the most popular native pop acts in Mexico in the 1960s.
In 1986, the compilation 16 Exitos (16 Hits) charted in the United States, reaching #15 on the Billboard Regional Mexican chart.
Emilio and Armando died in the early 90s, but Carlos and Enrique still tour with Carlos Jr. on drums and guest keyboard and bass players.

Los Babys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me haces tanto sufrir,
Si yo nunca te e negado,
Si yo nunca te e negado,
Mi pobre corazon,
Porque,
Dudas de mi amor,
Si lo unico que quiero,
Es amarte mas y mas,
Con el alma echa pedazos,
Poco a poco voy muriendo,
No te da pena mujer,
Olvidarte yo quisiera,
Pero al verte me arrepiento,
No te puedo ya olvidar.
Porque,
Dudas de mi amor,
Si lo unico que quiero,
Si lo unico que quiero,
Es amarte mas y mas,
Con el alma echa pedazos,
Poco a poco voy muriendo,
No te da pena mujer,
Olvidarte yo quisiera,
Pero al verte me arrepiento,
No te puedo ya olvidar.
No te puedo ya olvidar.
The song "Porque" by Los Babys talks about the pain and suffering that comes with a love that is not reciprocated. The lyrics express confusion and frustration regarding the lover's doubts about the singer's love even though they have never denied their feelings for them. The singer's heart is shattered because they want nothing but to love their partner with all their being, but they continue to doubt the sincerity of the singer's love.
The repetition of the phrase "porque, dudas de mi amor" (why do you doubt my love) emphasises the disconnect between the intensity of the singer's feelings and the lover's inability to fully trust them. The chorus also highlights the agony of the singer's suffering as they slowly die inside, piece by piece, while saying that they wish they could forget their lover but they cannot.
The lyrics of the song are filled with raw emotion and speak to the universal feeling of unrequited love. The melancholic melody and the romantically inclined lyrics have made this song a classic in the world of Mexican music, and it continues to touch the hearts of listeners around the world.

Preciosa melodía, bellísima .
Que hermosos tiempos, caray.
Nada que ver con el hoy.
Puras marranadas, majaderis.
Que juventud de hoy.
Nada que ver con nuestra época.

Yo estaba en quinto de primaria allá por el año 71 - 72 cuando salió está canción ya era la edad que se sentían hormiguitas en el estómago por el amor ... en mi opinión ha sido y será la mejor canción de los babys ... saludos desde Zacatecas
