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.
Róbame el Aliento
Ricardo Montaner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Cuando nadie ya te lleve de la mano
Cuando apenas un suspiro es demasiado
Cuando sepas que el olvido es desgraciado
Llévate, llévate, llévate mi almohadita
Por si una noche en tus sueños me necesita'
Y déjame, déjame, déjame tu olorcito
Róbame el aliento
Pa' que te acuerdes de mí
Quítamelo lento
Que me duele adentro
Róbame el aliento
Por si decido morir
Róbame el aliento
Que ya no lo siento
No te gustaban las palabras que decía
Si te hice daño fue mi culpa, vida mía
Esta mañana ya sabía que te ibas
No era la misma tu sonrisa, vida mía
Dime dónde van tus pasos
Corro y no te alcanzo
Busco tu latido
Que se quedó dormido
Dónde van tus pasos
Corro y no te alcanzo
Busco tu latido
Que se quedó dormido
Róbame el aliento
Pa' que te acuerdes de mí
Quítamelo lento
Que me duele adentro
Róbame el aliento
Por si decido morir
Róbame el aliento
Que ya no lo siento
Róbame el aliento
Pa' que te acuerdes de mí
Quítamelo lento
Que me duele adentro
Róbame el aliento
Por si decido morir
Róbame el aliento
Que ya no lo siento
In the song "Róbame el Aliento" by Ricardo Montaner, the lyrics reflect the raw emotions of heartbreak and longing. The opening lines convey the impending pain of being alone, feeling that even a mere sigh is too much to bear, and the realization that forgetting someone can be a miserable experience. The singer portrays a sense of emptiness and loss as they grapple with the absence of a loved one who used to be by their side.
The imagery of taking each other's possessions, such as a pillow and a scent, suggests a desire to hold onto memories and connections even when physically apart. There is a poignant plea for the other person to steal the singer's breath – a symbol of their life force and essence – so that they may be remembered and felt in the other's presence. The poignant plea for their breath to be stolen conveys a sense of deep emotional pain that lingers within the singer's being.
The verse continues to delve into regrets and remorse, as the singer acknowledges causing pain and accepts responsibility for the fractured relationship. The realization that their partner is leaving, marked by a change in their smile, weighs heavily on the singer's heart, reinforcing the sense of loss and longing for what once was. The imagery of chasing footsteps and searching for a dormant heartbeat metaphorically depicts the desperate attempt to hold onto fading connections and lost love.
The chorus is a powerful repetition of the plea to steal the singer's breath, serving as a poignant reminder of the intense emotional impact of separation and heartache. The contrast between wanting to be remembered and feeling numb to the pain reflects the complex emotions of love and loss. The repeated refrain underscores the singer's desperation to hold onto the memory of the relationship, even as they feel the heaviness of heartbreak and the inability to feel the pain anymore. Overall, "Róbame el Aliento" encapsulates the profound emotions of heartbreak, longing, and the struggle to hold onto fading connections in the face of separation.

Róbame el Aliento ❤️
Te va a doler
Cuando nadie ya te llevé de la mano
Cuando apenas un suspiro es demasiado
Cuando sepas que el olvido es desgraciado
Llévate, llévate, llévate mi almohadita
Por si una noche en tus sueños me necesita
Y déjame, déjame, déjame tu olorcito
Por si una noche en mi cama te necesito
Róbame el aliento
Pa que te acuerdes de mi
Quítamelo lento
Que me duele adentro
Róbame el aliento
Por si decido morir
Róbame el aliento
Que ya no lo siento
No te gustaban las palabras que decía
Si te hice daño fue mi culpa, vida mía
Esta mañana ya sabía que te ibas
No era la misma tu sonrisa, vida mía
Dime donde van tus pasos
Corro y no te alcanzo
Busco tu latido
Que se quedó dormido
Donde van tus pasos
Corro y no te alcanzo
Busco tu latido
Que se quedó dormido
Róbame el aliento
Pa que te acuerdes de mi
Quítamelo lento
Que me duele adentro
Róbame el aliento
Por si decido morir
Róbame el aliento
Que ya no lo siento
