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.
Convénceme
Ricardo Montaner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contigo tiene dos domingos
Y que la noche es joven
Aunque sea madrugada
Convénceme que no hace falta
Salir corriendo a la oficina
O hoy a las tantas, quiero dormirme
Convénceme que no hay rutina
Que sus mejillas son de queso
Y que venden arcoíris
Importados y eso es cierto
Que el cielo se quedo sin agua
Y que el agua se mudo al desierto
Dime mi vida, que todo esto
Termina en un final de cuento
Convénceme de ser feliz
Convénceme
Convénceme de no morir
Convénceme
Que no es igual
Felicidad y plenitud
Que un rato entre los dos
Que una vida sin tu amor
Meses de cinco semanas
Y años de cuatro febreros
Hacer agostos en tu piel
Un sábado de enero
Que el sueño se quedo despierto
Y que la rosa se vistió de perla
Dime mi vida que todo esto
Termina en un final de cuento
Convénceme de ser feliz
Convénceme
Convénceme de no morir
Convénceme
Que no es igual
Felicidad y plenitud
Que un rato entre los dos
Que una vida sin tu amor
Estar sin ti
Atado con cadenas
Viviría amando
En esclavitud
Convénceme de ser feliz
Convénceme
Convénceme de no morir
Convénceme
Que no es igual
Felicidad y plenitud
Que un rato entre los dos
Que una vida sin tu amor
Convénceme que el cielo existe

Convénceme que la semana
Contigo tiene dos domingos
Y que la noche es joven
Aunque sea madrugada
Persuade me that the week
With you has two Sundays
And that night is young
Even if it's dawn
Convénceme que no hace falta
Salir corriendo a la oficina
O hoy a las tantas, quiero dormirme
Persuade me that it's not necessary
To run to the office
Or tonight until late, I want to sleep
Convénceme que no hay rutina
Dime que la luna es roja
Que sus mejillas son de queso
Y que venden arcoíris
Importados y eso es cierto
Que el cielo se quedo sin agua
Y que el agua se mudo al desierto
Dime mi vida, que todo esto
Termina en un final de cuento
Persuade me that there is no routine
Tell me that the moon is red
That its cheeks are made of cheese
And that imported rainbows are sold
And that's true
That the sky ran out of water
And the water moved to the desert
Tell me my love, that all of this
Ends in a fairytale ending
Convénceme de ser feliz
Convénceme
Persuade me to be happy
Persuade me
Convénceme de no morir
Convénceme
Persuade me not to die
Persuade me
Que no es igual
Felicidad y plenitud
Que un rato entre los dos
Que una vida sin tu amor
That happiness and completeness are not the same
As a while between the two of us
As a life without your love
Meses de cinco semanas
Y años de cuatro febreros
Hacer agostos en tu piel
Un sábado de enero
Months of five weeks
And years of four Februarys
To make Augusts on your skin
A Saturday in January
Que el sueño se quedo despierto
Y que la rosa se vistió de perla
Dime mi vida que todo esto
Termina en un final de cuento
That the dream stayed awake
And that the rose dressed in pearls
Tell me my love that all of this
Ends in a fairytale ending
Estar sin ti
Atado con cadenas
Viviría amando
En esclavitud
To be without you
Tied up with chains
I would live loving
In slavery
Convénceme que el cielo existe
Persuade me that heaven exists

Convénceme que la semana,
contigo tiene dos domingos
y que la noche es joven
aunque sea madrugada.
Convénceme que no hace falta
salir corriendo a la oficina
o hoy a las tantas, quiero dormirme,
convénceme que no hay rutina.
Dime que la luna es roja
que sus mejillas son de queso
y que venden arcoíris
importados y eso es cierto
que el cielo se quedo sin agua
y que el agua se mudo al desierto
Dime mi vida, que todo esto
termina en un final de cuento.
Convénceme de ser feliz
convénceme...
convénceme de no morir
convénceme...
que no es igual
felicidad y plenitud
que un rato entre los dos
que una vida sin tu amor.
Meses de cinco semanas
y años de cuatro febreros
hacer agostos en tu piel
un sábado de enero
que el sueño se quedo despierto
y que la rosa se vistió de perla.
Dime mi vida que todo esto
termina en un final de cuento.
Convénceme de ser feliz
convénceme...
convénceme de no morir
convénceme...
que no es igual
felicidad y plenitud
que un rato entre los dos
que una vida sin tu amor.
Estar sin ti
atado con cadenas
viviría amando
en esclavitud oooo
Convénceme de ser feliz
convénceme,
convénceme de no morir
convénceme
que no es igual
felicidad y plenitud
que un rato entre los dos
que una vida sin tu amor.
Convénceme que el cielo existe.
