Throughout the mid '80s to mid '90s, the band had a number of Billboard chart hit albums such as 1986's De Guanajuato...Para America! with hit song, "Amor Sin Palabras" ("Love Without Words"). Then tragedy occurred when younger brother Martín was killed in a bus accident and in the same year a tribute album, 1987's Gracias Martin, was dedicated to him. They earned a movie, 1989's Caminantes...Si Hay Caminos.
Caminantes are also known for their playing of variety Regional Mexican styles, e.g., Ranchera, Corrido, Balada, Cumbia, Banda and Mariachi. They have recorded over 30 albums throughout their career span and had numerous song collaborations with high profile Regional Mexican acts (Diana Reyes, Patrulla 81, Polo Urías y su Maquina Norteña, Banda Pachuco, etc.).
To this day, Agustín is the remaining original member of Los Caminantes after the departure of Horacio and the passings of Martín, Brígido and Humberto. The band continues to record and tour throughout the United States, Mexico, and Central America.

Deberas no es dejarte asi
Ya me voy....... Con tu vestido
Negro te veras muy bien
Ya me voy y con tus ojos
Tristes tu me dijiste
Esperame.........
Ya me voy y mi intencion deberas
Ya me voy deseo con toda
El alma que encuentres
La calma en un nuevo amor
Y que te haga feliz
Y que te haga olvidarte de mi
Pero que no te reproche aquellas
Noches que me diste a mi
Dale todo de ti solo hay algo
Que quiero pedir
Aquellas cosas que fueron tan mias
Quiero que las guardes
Muy dentro de ti mis tonterias
Mis alegrias mis bromas absurdas
Que te hacian reir
Y mi guitarra cuando te cantaba
Cuando estes muy triste te habla de mi
Ya me voy
Y mi intencion deberas
No es dejarte asi
Ya me voy deseo con toda el alma
Que encuentres la calma
En un nuevo amor
Y que te haga feliz
Y que te haga olvidarte de mi
Pero que no te reproche
Aquellas noches que me diste a mi
Dale todo de ti
Solo hay algo que quiero pedir
Aquellas cosas que fueron
Tan mias quiero que las guardes
Muy dentro de ti
Mis tonterias mis alegrias
Mis bormas absurdas que te hacian reir
Y mi guitarra cuando te cantaba
Cuando estes muy triste
Te habla de mi.........
The lyrics of Los Caminantes's song "Sin Un Adios" tell the story of a man who is leaving his lover but wants to make sure she knows that his intention is not to leave her hurt or alone. He tells her that she will look beautiful in her black dress when he's gone, and that he hopes she finds happiness and calm in a new love. He asks her to keep the memories of their time together close to her heart, including his silly jokes, his guitar playing, and the way he used to make her laugh.
The lyrics are heartbreaking in their simplicity and sincerity. They show the man's genuine concern for his lover's well-being, and his hope that she will be able to move on from their relationship and find happiness again. The use of repetition in the lyrics ("Ya me voy" and "Aquellas cosas que fueron tan mias quiero que las guardes muy dentro de ti") reinforces the man's feelings of sadness and regret, and his desire to leave a positive legacy behind.
