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.
Por un Amor
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me desvelo y vivo apasionado
tengo un amor
Que en mi vida dejo para siempre
amargo dolor
Pobre de mí
no es para mí
Pobre de mí (ay corazón)
pobre de mí (no sufras más)
cuanto sufra mi pecho
que late tan solo por tí
Por un amor
he llorado gotitas de sangre
del corazón
Me ha dejado
con el alma herida
sin compasión
Pobre de mí
esta vida mejor que se acabe
no es para mí
Pobre de mí (ay corazón)
pobre de mí (no sufras más)
cuanto sufre mi pecho
que late tan solo por tí
The song "Por un Amor" by Luis Miguel is a passionate and emotional ballad about heartbreak and pain caused by a lost love. The lyrics describe the depth of the singer's feelings, how he cannot sleep and is constantly consumed by his love for this person. The love that he once had in his life has left him with a bitter pain and a wounded soul. He expresses his sadness and desperation for the relationship to be rekindled, although he knows in his heart that it's unlikely to happen. The chorus repeats the words "Pobre de mi" (poor me), emphasizing the singer's suffering and his longing for the love he lost.
The song's melancholic tone and the lyrics' poetic nature make it touching and meaningful to those who have experienced the same pain of a broken heart. The use of repetition, with the chorus coming in after every verse, further highlights the singer's fatalistic outlook on love, as if he has accepted that he will always be left to suffer from this lost love. The song's passionate delivery by Luis Miguel, a Mexican singer and songwriter, has helped it gain tremendous popularity in both Latin America and Spain.
