While fully supportive of the Cuban Revolution, Milanés was critical of some aspects of the Cuban regime. He took official positions but allegedly avoided participating in pro-government campaigns; on January 25, 2007, he signed a petition supporting Puerto Rico's independence from the United States of America.
A number of artists have performed with him; among them Silvio Rodríguez, Joaquín Sabina, Ana Belén, Lilia Vera, Joan Manuel Serrat, Víctor Manuel, etc. Among his songs, "Yolanda", "Yo me quedo", "Amo a esta isla", "Yo pisaré las calles nuevamente", "Para Vivir", and "El breve espacio en que no estás" are especially well-known.
Since his first recording ("Versos sencillos de José Martí" in 1973), he issued more than 40 solo records, and many more in collaboration with other artists from Cuba, elsewhere in Latin America, and Spain.
The heyday of his creativity occurred probably in the early 1980s, with his records "El guerrero", "Yo me quedo", and "Comienzo y final de una verde mañana".

by Pablo Milanes
Te prometo que al despertar
tu mirada me hara feliz
why agradecere las cosas
que tu inventes opara mi
porque se que te gusto asi
la dulcura que siempre guardo
sera toda para ti
Si se puede con humildad
tu belleza yo cantare
lo que todos los ojos dicen
yo lo girto de una vez
sin recelos yo me adentrare
en lo hermoso de tu pensar
tratare de ver las alturas
donde sueles caminar
Te prometo que al despertar
tu mirada me hara feliz
cuando piense en aquellas cosas
que has dejado tu por mi
Si se puede con humildad
tu belleza yo cantare
lo que todos los ojos dicen
yo lo girto de una vez
sin recelos yo me adentrare
en lo hermoso de tu pensar
tratare de ver las alturas
donde sueles caminar
Te prometo que al despertar
tu mirada me hara feliz
cuando piense en aquellas cosas
que has dejado tu por mi

Rachel
on El Amor De Mi Vida
Te negar tres veces
Antes de que llegue el alba
Me fundiré en la noche
Donde me aguarda la nada.
Me perderé en la angustia
De buscarme y no encontrarme
Te encontrar en la luz
Que se me esconde tras el alma.
Desangrer caminos,
Sin salidas como muros.
Recorreré los cuerpos,
Desolados sin futuro.
Destruiré los mitos,
Que he formado uno a uno,
Y pensaré en tu amor,
Este amor nuestro vivo y puro.
Te veo sonreir,
Sin lamentarte de una herida.
Cuando me vi partir,
Pensé que no tendras vida.
Que gloria te tocó,
Que ángel de amor,
Que has renacido.
Qu milagro se dio,
Cuando el amor volvio a tu nido
Qu puedo hacer?
Quiero saber,
Que me atormenta en mi interior.
Si es el dolor,
Que empieza a ser,
Miedo a perder lo que se amó.
Te veo sonreir,
Sin lamentarte de una herida.
Cuando me vi partir,
Pens que no tendras vida.
Que gloria te tocó,
Que ángel de amor,
Que has renacido.
Que milagro se dio,
Cuando el amor volvio a tu nido
Qu puedo hacer?
Quiero saber,
Que me atormenta en mi interior.
Si es el dolor,
Que empieza a ser,
Miedo a perder lo que se amó.
Ser que eres el amor de mi vida
