Despite recording only in Spanish, he continued to be the best selling Latin artist in the 1990s, and was credited for popularizing the bolero genre into the mainstream market. He has sold around 60 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists.
Latin pop music, along with his personal life and showmanship on stage, has made Luis Miguel popular for nearly his entire career, which started in Mexico in 1982. Having won his first Grammy Award at the age of fourteen for his duet "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" with Sheena Easton, he is the youngest male artist in music history to have received this accolade. In 1991, the RIAA recognized the high sales for his 1991 album Romance, itself being the third best-selling music album in Mexico, and one of the best-selling Spanish language albums of all time. He was the first Latin artist to have been awarded two Platinum certified Spanish-language albums in the United States with ‘‘Romance’’ and ‘‘Segundo Romance’’ the latter earning him 35 platinum records throughout Central and South America. He is also recognized by Billboard, as the artist with the most top 10 hits on the Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. His album Complices was released in 2008 and peaked at No.10 on the Billboard 200; it is the highest position a fully Spanish composed album has reached. His most recent album ¡México Por Siempre! was released in 2017, and it earned him his second No. 1 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums and achieved double platinum status.
Luis Miguel is also known for his high-grossing live performances. He is the first-highest grossing Latin touring artist since Boxscore began tracking touring data in 1990, with a towering total of $278.5 million. With the Luis Miguel Tour, which took place in 2010, he visited 22 countries in North America, South America and Europe, where he performed in a three-year span with a total of 223 shows all over the world, making it the longest and highest-grossing tour ever made by a Latin artist. He also holds the record for the most consecutive presentations in the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) with a total of 30 consecutive concerts as well as the record for the most presentations in the same venue with a total of 258 concerts.
Ese Momento
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando tus pasos van sonando en la escalera
Me vuelvo loco
Mi sangre hierve y mi pulso se acelera
Y me imagino la humedad de tu esperado respirar
Y me estremezco de saber como te voy a conquistar
Ese momento
Tan egoístamente mío
Ese momento
Donde se acaban expresiones y palabras
Cuando tus manos
Se depositan en la fiebre de mi tiempo
Ese momento yo no creo
Que se pueda describir
Es llanto, risa, vida plena
Una forma de morir
Ese momento
Te considero
Tan egoístamente mía
Ese momento, yo lo espero
Siempre cada atardecer
Miro la puerta, ese espacio
Donde vas a aparecer
Ese momento
Te considero
Tan egoístamente mía
Ese momento, yo lo espero
Siempre cada atardecer
Miro la puerta, ese espacio
Donde vas a aparecer
Ese momento
Te considero
Tan egoístamente mía
Mía
Mía
The lyrics to "Ese Momento" by Luis Miguel are passionate and depict a moment of intense desire and longing for someone else. The singer describes a moment when he hears the footsteps of the person he desires coming up the stairs and he becomes overcome with passion. He imagines the moisture in their breathing and trembles with the thought of how he will conquer them. The moment he is describing is one where words and expressions fail him, and it is purely physical.
He goes on to describe how he cannot adequately describe the feeling, and that it is a mixture of crying, laughing, and feeling alive. This is a powerful moment for him, one that he views as selfishly his own. He waits for this moment every day, watching the door where they will appear.
The song is a beautiful depiction of desire and how it can consume someone. It is full of passion and is a great example of how music can express deep emotions in a way that words alone may not be able to.
