A native of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Vargas was a classically-trained tenor who originally sang opera but gained fame with his renditions of popular songs. He made many musical guest appearances in films from 1936 onward, but also had more substantial acting roles in a few pictures, achieving over 70 screen credits in total.
In 1942, Vargas performed at the White House for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, one of many honors he received during his long career. He also performed in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Vargas died in Mexico City, Mexico at age 83.

Pedro Vargas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me voy linda morena lejos de ti,
El alma echa una pena porque al partir
Temo que tu olvides nuestro amor
Hermosa flor
Mi alma cautivaste
Con la fragancia de tu candor
Tú eres toda mi ilusión
Tú eres mi dulce canción
Adiós,
Me voy linda morena, me voy de aquí,
A llorar mi tristeza lejos de ti
Hermosa flor
Mi alma cautivaste
Con la fragancia de tu candor
Tú eres toda mi ilusión
Tú eres mi dulce canción
Adiós,
Me voy linda morena, me voy de aquí,
A llorar mi tristeza lejos de ti
Adiós
The song "Adios" by Pedro Vargas is a melancholy and bittersweet ode to leaving behind a lover. The singer is a person who is leaving a beautiful dark-skinned woman behind, feeling sad because they fear that their love will be forgotten. The song expresses a sense of longing and regret, as the singer knows that they will carry the pain of leaving their love behind with them wherever they go.
The lyrics express a deep emotional connection to the person they are leaving behind. They describe her in terms of her beauty and allure, with her fragrance and candor capturing the singer's heart. The chorus is particularly poignant, as the repetition of "tú eres toda mi ilusión" ("you are all my dreams") and "tú eres mi dulce canción" ("you are my sweet song") underline the depth of feeling involved.
The song is both sad and beautiful, expressing a deep sense of loss and sadness that will be familiar to anyone who has ever had to say goodbye to someone they love. It is a heartfelt tribute to that person and to the power of love to move and inspire us, even in the face of great tragedy.

El Samurai de la canción en toda su plenitud. Esas sí eran canciones, no la basura que se escucha en la radio comercial de la actualidad.

Es una hermosa cancion cantada come se es y una voz muy hermosa, ojala clasificvaran a los cantantes de nuestra epoca con la misma medida,pues a un feo no creo que le dieran muchas oprtunidades
