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.
El Día Que Me Quieras
Pedro Vargas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El suave murmullo de tu suspirar
Como ríe la vida
Si tus ojos negros me quieren mirar
Y si es mío el amparo
De tu risa leve
Que es como un cantar
Ella quieta mi herida
El día que me quieras
La rosa que engalana
Se vestirá de fiesta
Con su mejor color
Y al viento las campanas
Dirán que ya eres mía
Y locas las fontanas
Se contaran su amor
La noche que me quieras
Desde el azul del cielo
Las estrellas celosas
Nos miraran pasar
Y un rayo misterioso
Hará nido en tu pelo
Luciérnaga curiosa
Que vera que eres mi consuelo
El día que me quieras
No habrá mas que armonía
Será clara la aurora
Y alegre el manantial
Traerá quieta la brisa
Rumor de melodías
Y nos darán las fuentes
Su canto de cristal
El día que me quieras
Endulzara sus cuerdas
El pájaro cantor
Florecerá la vida
No existirá el dolor
La noche que me quieras
In the song "El Día Que Me Quieras" by Pedro Vargas, the lyrics paint a picture of a dream-like love that brings joy and harmony to the singer's life. The opening stanzas describe the soothing sound of the lover's sighs and the way their black eyes can light up the singer's day. The singer feels healed by their light laughter, and all pains and worries are forgotten. It is as though the lover's attention and affection are the only things that matter, and they can transform even the most difficult moments into pure bliss.
The rest of the lyrics follow through with this idea, as the singer describes how the day they are loved will be one of great celebration and unity. The rose, a symbol of love and beauty, will be at its most resplendent, and the bells will announce their union to the world. The night will be filled with magic, with jealous stars watching over them, and a mysterious ray of light will take refuge in the lover's hair. Everything will feel as though it is in perfect harmony, with nature itself joining in their joyous celebration of love.
Overall, the song is a beautifully written ode to love, capturing the feeling of being cherished and the transformative power of a deep and meaningful connection with another person.
