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.
Se amaban
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con locura y timidez a un tiempo
Se amaban, se adoraban
Se amaban, como niños como dioses nuevos
Como ángeles azules se entregaban
Se amaban, se adoraban
Suavemente como niebla
Como lobo ante su presa
Sutilmente la aceché
Desperté pasiones negras en el corazón de ella
Y sembré la mala hierba en el corazón de él
Llevaste su cuerpo, me bebí su boca
Y ahora que prendí ya el fuego
Me pierdo como las olas
Y se amaban, se amaban
Se adoraban
Se amaban, como niños como dioses nuevos
Como ángeles azules se entregaban
Se amaban, se adoraban
Me interpuse en sus caminos
Suavemente como niebla
Como lobo ante su presa
Sutilmente la aceché
Desperté pasiones negras en el corazón de ella
Y sembré la mala hierba en el corazón de él
Llevaste su cuerpo, me bebí su boca
Y ahora que prendí ya el fuego
Me pierdo como las olas
Y ahora que prendí ya el fuego
Me pierdo como las olas
Y se amaban, se amaban
Se adoraban
The lyrics of Luis Miguel’s song, Se amaban, are about a couple who were deeply in love with each other. They loved each other with the strength of first love, with madness and shyness at the same time, like children and new gods. Their love was pure and devoted, like blue angels who gave themselves completely to each other. However, the singer tells us that he intervened in their path softly and cunningly, like a wolf stalking its prey. He awakened negative passions in the heart of the woman and planted evil weed in the heart of the man. He took advantage of the situation and drank her mouth, but in the end, he lost everything.
The song’s lyrics are filled with metaphors and contrasts. The love between the couple is depicted as innocent and pure, like that of children and new gods, but also passionate and intense, like blue angels.

The woman’s heart is described as having been filled with negative passions, while the man's heart is filled with evil weeds. The lyrics also talk about loss and regret, as the singer admits that he lost everything in the end.
Overall, the song is about the destructive power of jealousy, which can ruin everything in its path.

The song is a cautionary tale about the destructive power of jealousy, and the importance of cultivating love and trust in our relationships.

Una triste historia contada e interpretada de manera perfecta. Y lo mejor de todo es que uno le puede dar su propia interpretación.
La mía, es una con un final triste y devastador.
