Fonsi and his family moved to Orlando, Florida, during Fonsi's early childhood. Fonsi's childhood was relatively average for kids his age, beginning to dream about becoming a member of Menudo, arguably Latin America's most famous boy band in history, around the time he was ten years old.
Because of the air distance between his home in Orlando and Menudo's base back in Puerto Rico in particular, Fonsi was not able to achieve that particular childhood dream. He did, however, participate in many local boy bands, including one, Big Guys, where he met, and befriended, future *NSYNC member Joey Fatone. On April of that year, Fonsi had a brief return to the singing stage, when former Menudo Ray Reyes invited him and Lopez to a concert which was held at San Juan's Roberto Clemente coliseum. The press widely covered what El Vocero titled as Fonsi's moment as a Menudo, when he took the stage and joined the members of El Reencuentro to sing some of their old hits.
Fonsi's popularity has transcended ages and genres in Puerto Rico: industrialist Salvador Vassallo, for example, has told El Vocero that Fonsi is among his favorite singers.
Instead of choosing to keep a pattern of trying to find stardom in the United States with a boy band, Fonsi chose to better prepare himself for a future, stable career inside show business. He went to Florida State University to study vocal techniques. Meanwhile, he began to record demo tapes in Miami. While he was at FSU, he was overheard singing by a university music department president, who offered him a contract with a large recording company.
In 1999, Fonsi recorded his first CD, Comenzare (I Will Begin). Comenzare became an instant hit in Puerto Rico and across Latin America, with Fonsi conquering such markets as Colombia, the Dominican Republic,El Salvador, Mexico and Venezuela. His 2000 follow-up, Eterno, was equally successful. By then, Fonsi's fame had reached Europe, as he became a celebrity in Spain as well.
During 2001, a re-mix of Comenzare and Eterno was launched, while Fonsi worked on his next album, 2002's Amor Secreto. At about the same time, some media outlets such as newspapers and magazines began to comment about an allegued, adulterous romance between him and an also very famous married Puerto Rican singer, who had just happened to separate from her husband recently and bought a home near Fonsi's Orlando property. The scandal did not last too long, however, and Fonsi soon released an album in English, Fight the Feeling, also released in 2002.
Fight the Feeling did not sell well among Americans. It is expected, however, that Fonsi will sometime in the future make a second attempt at a crossover: because of the fact he has lived most of his life in Orlando, he is fluent in English as well as in Spanish.
His Fourth CD sold very well which opened new markets in Europe. "Quien te Dijo eso?" reached high positions on music charts. His fifth CD "Paso a Paso" could be said to be his disc that launched him into international markets. "Nada es Para Siempre" reached Number one on the music chart beating famous, Shakira.
By 2003, Fonsi began to fall in love with actress Adamari Lopez, who, as an Univision artist and fellow Puerto Rican, constantly found herself near Fonsi. That same year, Fonsi released the song Abrazar la Vida (Holding on to Life), of the album also named Abrazar la Vida. The song, perhaps ironically and because of a particular circumstance, would later become one of Lopez's favorite songs. While Fight the Feeling was released by the MCA label, Abrazar la Vida was released by Universal's Spanish music label. Fonsi also recorded Amazing in 2003, a duet with Emma Bunton for her 2004 album Free Me.
Fonsi took off 2004, a year when rumors were reported by magazines, television news shows and newspapers that he and Lopez had committed to marry each other. During 2005, Fonsi was in the middle of an international tour that would have had him away from home for many months; the tour was abruptly cancelled when Lopez was diagnosed with cancer. Fonsi promised her to stay by her side, and has travelled with her back and forth between Mexico, Miami and Puerto Rico for various treatment and work related trips.
On June 3, 2006, Fonsi and Adamari Lopez were married in a religious ceremony in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico attended by many celebrities including Joey Fatone, Charytin, Ednita Nazario, and Carlos Ponce and his brother, aspiring Spanish-language singer Jean Rodriguez, who goes simply by Jean as his professional name.
Si Tú Quisieras
Luis Fonsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para que vieras el color de mi ilusión
Si yo pudiera hacerlo amor
Si tú quisieras
No importaría la distancia entre los dos
Regresaría yo en el tiempo por amor
Si supieras lo que quiero
Y perderme en lo profundo de tus sueños
Y si en tus sueños corazón pudiera estar
Inventaría un nuevo mundo para ti
Serías tú aquella princesa
La fantasía de mi cuento
Convertiría cada sueño en realidad
Cual mosquetero yo sería tu guardián
Y defenderte hasta la muerte
Todo por ti eternamente, si quisieras
Si tú quisieras
Mientras tanto yo en silencio te amaré
Venerando tu sonrisa viviré
Si supieras lo que quiero
De tu ojos ser el dueño
Y perderme en lo profundo de tus sueños
Y si en tus sueños corazón pudiera estar
Inventaría un nuevo mundo para ti
Serías tú aquella princesa
La fantasía de mi cuento
Convertiría cada sueño en realidad
Cual mosquetero yo sería tu guardián
Y defenderte hasta la muerte
Todo por ti eternamente, si quisieras
Si tú quisieras
Si tú quisieras
Si tú quisieras
Si tú quisieras
Si tú quisieras
Si tú quisieras
The song Si Tu Quisieras by Luis Fonsi is a romantic ballad in which the singer expresses his longing for the love of his life. He begins by saying that if he could open up his heart, his love and adoration for his partner would be visible to them. He goes on to say that he would travel any distance, even time, for their love. He wants to be the owner of their eyes and lose himself in the depths of their dreams. The singer then imagines a world where he and his partner could be together, where he could be their protector and defend them until death. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Si tú quisieras," which translates to "If you wanted to," meaning that the singer's love and efforts are dependent on his partner's desire to be with him.
The lyrics of the song convey a sense of vulnerability and hopefulness, as the singer puts his heart on the line and expresses his desire for his partner. He recognizes that his feelings may not be reciprocated but holds onto the possibility that they might be. The repetitive chorus shows the singer's willingness to do whatever it takes to be with his partner if only they want to. It is a beautiful and sincere plea for love and affection.

Si yo pudiera abrirte en dos mi corazon
Para que vieras el color de mi ilusion.
Si yo pudiera hacerlo amor,
Si tu quisieras.
No importaria la distancia entre los
Dos regresaria yo en el tiempo por amor.
Si supieras lo que quiero,
De tus ojos ser el dueño
Why perderme en lo profundo de tus sueños.
why si en tus sueños corazon pudiera estar,
Inventaria un nuevo mundo para ti.
Serias tu aquella princesa
La fantasia de mi cuento.
Convertiria cada sueño en realidad,
Cual mosquetero yo seria tu guardian
Why defenderte hasta la muerte,
Todo por ti eternamente....Si quisieras,
Si tu quisieras...
Mientras tanto yo en silencio te amare,
Venerando tu sonrisa vivire.

Es una de mis canciones favoritas de este mi gran artista Luis Fonsi.... Orgullosa de ser su fan y de haberlo conocido antes de su éxito mundial con "Despacito".

Extraño las baladas de Fonsi. Debería volver a cantar música romántica.
