Montaner was born as Héctor Eduardo Reglero Montaner, in Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, he moved to Venezuela when he was 6 years old. During his youth he performed in the church chorus in the city of Maracaibo. In 1983, he released his first album titled Cada Día. Although the album was not a great success, it was a start for Montaner's career. He describes this album:"as his own version of death metal"
It wasn't until 1987 when Montaner became widely popular in Venezuela with the singles "Yo Que Te Amé" and "Vamos a Dejarlo" belonging to his self-titled album.
The following year he came out with Ricardo Montaner 2 which featured hit songs like "Tan Enamorados" and "A Donde Va El Amor". At the same time, he acted in the popular soap opera Niña Bonita. This also became a tool to make his songs known to the rest of Latin America. He won 4 platinum albums in Argentina alone. His next two albums, Un Toque de Misterio and En el Último Lugar del Mundo, became classics of the popular music in Mexico, Central and South America with hits such as "La Cima del Cielo", "Me Va a Extrañar", "Déjame Llorar" and "Será".
By 1992 Ricardo decided to hit the Spanish Caribbean with Los Hijos del Sol, an album that contained songs like "Castillo Azul", "Honda" and "Piel Adentro". That year, he also recorded a duet with Michelle, which was the Latinamerican version for the Aladdin song "A Whole New World" titled "Un Mundo Ideal".
Although Montaner has written most of his songs he has worked closely with other great song writers in Latin America such as Pablo Manavello, Ilan Chester and Oscar Gómez. But in 1994, Ricardo Montaner wrote and produced all the songs in his album Una Mañana y un Camino, which became popular only years after his release due to the lack of promotion by his new record label EMI Latin, with which Ricardo would also release Viene del Alma in 1995, an Italian pop flavored album. Also in 1995 he teamed up with Yolandita Monge to establish a Guinness World Record for performing 3 concerts in different cities on the same day in Puerto Rico. This was only possible by air transportation via helicopter from stage to stage.
By 1997, Montaner was already a well established artist in the Spanish speaking music world and could give himself the luxury of experimenting with other styles of music, without forgetting the roots that had made him so popular a decade earlier. Working one more time with Pablo Manavello and with a new record company, Warner Music proved to be the promoter Ricardo was expecting for. Es Así brought Ricardo much popularity in the United States Spanish speaking areas and allowed Montaner to tour more than 17 countries in Latin America making him even more popular in Spain. Songs like "La Mujer de Mi Vida", "Para Llorar" and "Es Así" became very popular all around.
In 1999, Montaner recorded his best album ever with his past hits decorated with the strings of the London Metropolitan Orchestra. This proved to be very successful and sold over 1 million copies. Ricardo made another attempt in 2001 with Sueño Repetido that included the bolero style song "Bésame" arranged by Bebu Silvetti which became a hit all over the world. Future works with Juan Carlos Calderón, Kike Santander and Silvetti would be the key for Ricardo to move his songs and popularity to another level in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
2002's Suma (Bolero style songs) and 2003's Prohibido Olvidar (balada pop) had fair results in terms of sales and acceptance. "Si Tuviera Que Elegir" in Suma was written for his daughter. In 2003 he broke the record for the most concerts on a same tour in the theater of Bellas Artes in Puerto Rico. He sold out 18 concerts breaking his past record of 12, which also held it Yolandita Monge and Ricardo Arjona.
In 2004, he made another album with the London Metropolitan Orchestra named Con La London Metropolitan Orchestra Vol. 2 featuring his latest hits songs and two exclusive songs such as "Desesperado" and "Esta Escrito". In 2005, Montaner launched Todo y Nada which featured the songs "Cuando a mi Lado Estas" and "Nada". For this album he's already nominated in the Latin Grammys with album and song of the year for "Cuando a mi Lado Estas". "Amarte es mi Pecado" and "Heridas de Amor" are non-album songs that have been chosen to be the theme songs on two very popular Mexican soap operas and that much popular have become these songs.
In 2007, Ricardo released Las Mejores Canciones Del Mundo produced by Adrian Posse with the songs "Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti", "Nostalgias (Argen Version)", "Échame A Mí La Culpa (Artista Invitado: Juanes)".
In 2008, he released Las Mejores Canciones Del Mundo II - Y Algunas Mías...! with the songs "Cuando Un Amigo Se Va", "Ansiedad", "Bésame (Featuring Pasión Vega)".
Ricardo Montaner has sold over 22 million albums, and keeps breaking records in arenas and theaters all over the world.
Al Final del Arcoiris
Ricardo Montaner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jamas se ven pasar las mismas golondrinas
Aqui no sale el sol
Pues no se oculta
Quisiera estar contigo hoya why neblina
No tengo que gritar para que escuches
Ni tocarte la cara para que me sientas
Si me notas perdida la mirada
Te espare en la ultima pagina del libro
A media tarde urgente de cariño
Te espare en la altura sublime del silencio
Para hacerte el amor en una nube
En una nube al final del arco iris
No tienes que seguir estando triste
Solo me puse alas why me fui volando a las estrellas
why si me notas perdida la Mirada
Es que ahora te miro con el alma
Te espare en la ultima pagina del libro
A media tarde urgente de cariño
Te espare en la altura sublime del silencio
Para hacerte el amor en una nube
En una nube al final..
en una nube
En una nube al final... del arco iris
These lyrics are from the song "Al Final del Arcoiris" by Ricardo Montaner, which translates to "At the End of the Rainbow" in English. The lyrics express a dreamlike world where time doesn't rush and the same birds don't fly by twice. In this world, the sun never sets, and the singer wishes to be with their loved one, surrounded by mist. The intimacy between the two is so strong that there is no need for the singer to shout or touch the one they love. Just by looking into each other's eyes, they know what the other feels.
The lyrics continue to express how the singer waits for their love on the last page of a book, yearning for affection. Once they meet, it will be like making love on a cloud at the end of a rainbow. In the second verse, the singer assures their love that their sadness is over, as they have grown wings and flown to the stars. The sentiment of the song remains the same — the singer wants to be with their loved one and expresses the depth of their love.

Aqui no corre el tiempo tras la prisa
Time doesn't rush here
Jamas se ven pasar las mismas golondrinas
The same swallow never passes through here
Aqui no sale el sol Pues no se oculta
The sun doesn't set here, rather it never appears
Quisiera estar contigo hoya why neblina
I want to be with you in the foggy present
No tengo que gritar para que escuches
I don't have to shout for you to listen
Ni tocarte la cara para que me sientas
Nor touch your face for you to feel me
Si me notas perdida la mirada
If my gaze seems lost
Es que ahora te miro con el alma
It's because I'm looking at you with my soul
Te espare en la ultima pagina del libro
I waited for you on the last page of the book
A media tarde urgente de cariño
Urgently in need of love in the afternoon
Te espare en la altura sublime del silencio

Para hacerte el amor en una nube

En una nube al final del arco iris
In a cloud at the end of the rainbow
No tienes que seguir estando triste
You don't have to be sad anymore
Solo me puse alas why me fui volando a las estrellas
I simply grew wings and flew away to the stars
En una nube al final... del arco iris
In a cloud at the end of the rainbow
