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.

Luis Fonsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me tortura en la soledad
Esto siempre me pasa
Cuando no te puedo amar
Cada día que llega
No se como lo pasaré
Todavía tus besos queman
Tu amor es mi mal
Es mi mayor ansiedad
Y cada vez que te marchas
Me pregunto una vez más
Y ahora como te olvido
No sé vivir conmigo
No amarte es un castigo que me mata
Me haces tanta falta
Y ahora como te olvido
Me siento tan perdido
Es que te necesito como el agua
Y aunque debo no te puedo ya dejar
Empezó como un juego
Escondidos de los demás
En tu mundo sigue el secreto
Que tienes que ocultar
Lo que hacemos por vernos
Nadie lo puede imaginar
Yo quisiera cuando te tengo
Podernos escapar
Tu amor es mi mal
Es mi mayor ansiedad
Y cada vez que te marchas
Me pregunto una vez más
Y ahora como te olvido
No sé vivir conmigo
No amarte es un castigo que me mata
Me haces tanta falta
Y ahora como te olvido
Me siento tan perdido
Es que te necesito como el agua
Y aunque debo no te puedo ya dejar
Y ahora como te olvido
The lyrics of Luis Fonsi's Y Ahora Cómo Te Olvido describe the painful experience of being unable to forget someone who was once loved deeply. The beginning of the song sets the mood for the rest of the lyrics, as the singer expresses how nostalgia tortures him in his solitude. This feeling haunts him whenever he is unable to love this person again.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the extent of the pain the singer is experiencing because he cannot forget this person. He speaks of how he cannot live with himself because not loving this person is a punishment he cannot bear. The situation is so bad that it feels like he cannot breathe without the other person. The singer admits that he is lost without this person, that he needs them like water.
The second verse of the song highlights the secrecy of the relationship. It began as a game, something hidden from the rest of the world. They have something to hide, and no one else knows what it is. The singer wishes that every time they are together, they can escape reality. Every time the other person leaves, the singer asks himself the same question: "Now, how can I forget you?"

Te he bajado la luna
Para que no vivas a oscuras
He vaciado de espuma el mar
Pero no lo ves
He cambiado de corazón
Para acompañar tus latidos
He traído el río hasta tu puerta
Mi mundo se dio vuelta y no lo ves
Tanto he dado que lastima
Mi vida he dejado en manos de tu vida
¿Qué quieres de mí?, ¿qué esperas de mí?
Si todo te di
¿Cuánto cuesta tu alegría?
Si al pie de la letra cumplo lo que pidas
Yo vivo a tus pies, y tú no lo ves
Y sigues vacía
¿Qué quieres de mí?
¿Qué quieres de mí?
He perdido la dignidad
Callando cada ruido para darte paz
Me han herido cuando quise defenderte
Por ti peleo a muerte y no lo ves
Tanto he dado que lastima
Mi vida he dejado en manos de tu vida
¿Qué quieres de mí?, ¿qué esperas de mí?
Si todo te di
¿Cuánto cuesta tu alegría?
Si al pie de la letra cumplo lo que pidas
Yo vivo a tus pies y tú no lo ves
Y sigues vacía
¿Qué quieres de mí?
Este es mi modo de amar
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
No tengo más para dar
Tanto he dado que lastima
Mi vida he dejado en manos de tu vida
¿Qué quieres de mí?, ¿qué esperas de mí?
Si todo te di
¿Cuánto cuesta tu alegría?
Si al pie de la letra cumplo lo que pidas
Yo vivo a tus pies y tú no lo ves
Y sigues vacía
¿Qué quieres de mí?
¿Qué quieres de mí?
Uh-oh-oh

De adolescente escuche esta canción, ahora puedo entenderla perfectamente, si alguien la esta pasando mal, recuerden que nada es para siempre, y aprendamos a dar nuestro amor, pero no todo, siempre guardemos amor para nosotros mismos.

Cuando me separé definitivamente de mi ex sentí cada palabra de este tema. Idas y vueltas hasta q sin más q hacer abandoné el barco, lloraba cada noche escuchando esta canción pero un día m levanté y me jure amor propio, hoy después de 9 años formé una hermosa familia y tengo un hombre q me ama y m cuida, un amor sano. Deseo q la persona q haya pasado algo igual no baje los brazos nunca, nadie merece perder el tiempo con alguien q no te respeta.

Pues no sé si mil veces pero es genial como todo lo que hace Fonsi❤🎉

Esta letra me llena tanto de nostalgia, como hacerle entender a alguien que sus actitudes lastiman y causan infelicidad, como decirle que solo esta alejándote cada día un poco mas...Creo que siempre que la escuche llorare🕳
