Vargas began his career as a merengue singer in 1980 when he participated in the Festival de la Voz, a Dominican Republic contest that was sponsored by Santo Domingo television's channel 9. He came in second place at that festival.
Two years later, Vargas joined Los Hijos del Rey. An orchestra whose frontmen were Fernando Villalona and Raulin Rosendo. He remained there until 1984 when he joined Dionis Fernandez y El Equipo lasting another 2 years. With Dionis, Vargas began becoming famous, as that orchestra had fan bases in Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Panama and the Eastern coast of the United States, among other places.
Vargas left Dionis in 1986 and became the main lead vocalist for Los Hijos del Rey and released his first full length LP with Karen Records including the hit "La Quiero A Morir", which is indeed a reprise of "Je l'aime à mourir" by french singer Francis Cabrel. He also released another album backed again by LHdR in 1987 scoring another international seccess.
Vargas was also awarded in 1988; the Art Critics Association of the Dominican Republic honored him with their Casandra award for his self-titled concert, "Sergio", giving him the Spectacle of the Year award. He also obtained the Casandra award for best video-clip, for a song named "Vampiras".
In 1989 he was offered a contract to sign the then CBS International. After much contemplation, he left Karen Records and signed with CBS.
1991 was a particularly productive year in Vargas' career; he earned another Casandra award after participating in a television special named "Este es mi Pais" ("This is my Country"). He also received a Casandra to acknowledge his popularity outside the Dominican Republic and he sang in front of 20,000 spectators at New York's Madison Square Garden as part of that city's Carnival of Merengue. He filmed a television special that was directed by Jean Luis Jorge for Sony Music International.
In 1993, Vargas received a golden album, and he was one of the singers that participated in Miami's famous Calle Ocho Festival.
Entry into Politics

Vargas had years earlier launched a protest against claimed government neglect of Villa Altagracia by refusing to cut his hair. Vargas is a member of the Dominican Liberation Party, or PLD.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hasta Cuando
Ehh....
Hasta Cuando
Ententado dejarte de amar
Pero no lo consigo
Y aunque tu me lo quieras negar
No se puede ocultar la verdad
Ya es muy tarde para echarse atras
Hace tiempo dejamos de ser
Solo buenos amigos
Tu has tratado de disimular
Pero estoy convencido
Que hace mucho dejaste de amar
A quien vive contigo
Hasta cuando lo vas a pensar
Dime cuanto tendre que esperar
Si tu sabes amor que me muero
Por estar contigo
Hasta cuando tendre...que callar la verdad
Y ocultar que me gustas a gaviar
Hasta cuando sere...como un amigo mas
Que tu tratas en vano de ignorar
Hasta cuando podre...resistir y aguantar
Que me niegues los besos que le das
Hasta cuando lo piensas engañar
Enfrenta de una vez la realidad
Tu has tratado de disimular
Pero estoy convencido
Que hace mucho dejaste de amar
A quien vive contigo
Hasta cuando lo vas a pensar
Dime cuanto tendre que esperar
Si tu sabes amor que me muero
Por estar contigo
Hasta cuando tendre...que callar la verdad
Y ocultar que me gustas a gaviar
Hasta cuando sere...como un amigo mas
Que tu tratas en vano de ignorar
Hasta cuando podre...resistir y aguantar
Que me niegues los besos que le das
Hasta cuando lo piensas engañar
Enfrenta de una vez tu realidad
Oye bien.....
Tu realidad
Oye...
Si no....ma' pa' lante vive gente
Y no te digo ma'
Hasta cuando....hasta cuando
Tendre que ocultar mi sentimiento
Hasta cuando...hasta cuando
Tendre que resignarme al olvido
Hasta cuando....hasta cuando
Tendre que denunciar a tus besos
Oye...te veo el la esquina de siempre
Oiste... ayyayai
No me falles
No me vuelva a fallar
The lyrics of Sergio Vargas's song Hasta Cuando deal with unrequited love and the struggle of the singer to move on. The song starts with him stating how he is trying to stop loving the person, but he is unable to. He also believes that the other person still has feelings for him, and they cannot hide the truth. However, it is too late to go back to being just friends, and the singer is trying to figure out if he should wait for the other person to realize their feelings for him or move on.
In the next verse, the singer talks about how the other person has been pretending that they still love the singer, but he knows it is not true. He questions how long he has to wait to be with the person he loves and if he has to pretend to be just friends forever. The singer is struggling to deal with his feelings, but he is still hoping that the other person realizes their love for him before it's too late.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Hasta Cuando" which means "Until When" in English, emphasizing the singer's frustration with the situation. He is tired of waiting and hoping, and he wants the other person to face their reality and accept their love for him.
