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.
Tengo Todo Excepto a T
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se ve que no me vas
Se ve que en realidad solo me quieres
Como a un amigo más
Como algo de siempre
Ya ves me equivoqué
Creí que era feliz
Tantos amigos, caprichos amores locos
Tengo todo excepto a ti
Why el sabor de tu piel
Bella como el sol de abril
Que absurdo el día en que soñé
Que eras para mí
Tengo todo excepto a ti
Why la humedad de tu cuerpo
Tú me has hecho porque sí
Seguir las huellas de tu olor
Loco por tu amor
Se ve que no te voy
Se ve que no me vas
Pues tengo todo excepto tu mirada
Why sin tus ojos
Mis ojos ya no ven nada
Tengo todo excepto a ti
Why el sabor de tu piel
Bella como el sol de abril
Que absurdo el día en que soñé
Que eras para mí
Me sobra juventud
Me muero por vivir
Pero me faltas tú
Tengo todo excepto a ti
Why la humedad de tu cuerpo
Tú me has hecho porque sí
Seguir las huellas de tu olor
Loco por tu amor
The lyrics of Luis Miguel's song Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti are about a person who has everything they could ask for, but they are missing the most important thing in their life, which is their loved one. The first lines of the song show the distance between the two people, as it seems that they do not want each other, but rather they only see each other as friends. The person sings about the moment when they thought they had everything they needed to be happy: friends, material possessions, and crazy love affairs. However, the reality is that they are not truly happy without their loved one.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Tengo todo excepto a ti," which means "I have everything except for you." This phrase emphasizes the person's desire for their loved one, as they mention the taste of their skin, the beauty of their eyes, and the scent of their body. They express their love and longing for their loved one by stating that they have made them follow the traces of their scent, and that they are crazy for their love. Towards the end of the song, the person admits that they have a lot of youth and desires to live life to the fullest, but they can't without their loved one by their side.

TENGO TODO EXCEPTO A TI
Oh oh oh
Se ve que no te voy, se ve que no me vas
Se ve que en realidad solo me quieres como a un amigo más, como algo de siempre
Ya ves me equivoqué, creí que era feliz
Pensaba que yo lo tenía todo
Tantos amigos, caprichos amores locos

Pues tengo todo menos tu mirada
Y sin tus ojos mis ojos ya no ven nada
Tengo todo excepto a ti y el sabor de tu piel
Bella como el sol de abril
Qué absurdo el día en que soñé que eras para mí
Me sobra juventud me muero por vivir pero me faltas tú
Tengo todo excepto a ti y la humedad de tu cuerpo
Tú me has hecho porque sí seguir las huellas de tu olor
Loco por tu amor
Por tu amor, sin tu amor
Por tu amor
Oh oh
Oh oh
Por tu amor
Por tu amor
