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.

nos miramos con sentimientos, y le dije que me marchaba...
Es la primera vez que te vas de mi, decia mi madre al verme partir...
Es la primera vez que te vas de mi, sus ojos brillaban de tanto sufrir...
Es la primera vez que te vas de mi, que pena tengo...
Es la primera vez que te vas de mi, que pena y que dolor que manera de sufrir...
Es la primera vez que te vas de miiiiiiii.
Madre mia deja de llorar, que muy pronto quiero regresar...
Voy en busca de mi porvenir, y una vida digna; digna para ti...
Yo se que la distancia no te alejara de mi, decia mi madre al verme partir...
Y que tus 20 anos yo los volvere a vivir, sus labios temblaban, no se que sentir....
Es la primera vez que te vas de mi, que pena tengo...
Es la primera vez que te vas de mi, que pena y que dolor que manera de sufrir...
Es la primera vez que te vas de miiiiiiii.
Madre mia deja de llorar, que muy pronto quiero regresar...
Voy en busca de mi porvenir, y una vida digna; digna para ti...
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
ay ay ay ay
Voy en busca de mi porvenir, y una vida digna, digna para tiiiii...
No me llore mi viejita, confie en mi, usted sabe que yo no le fallo...
The song "Madre Mia" by Sergio Vargas is a heart-wrenching ballad about a son leaving his mother for the first time to pursue a better life. The lyrics are a conversation between the son and his mother, with him reassuring her that he will return soon and that the distance won't separate them.
The first verse sets the tone of the song with the son telling his mother not to worry as he's leaving. They share a heavy moment of silence filled with emotions, and he tells her that he's leaving. The mother expresses how hard it is for her to see him go, and that she's never had to experience this before. As the son leaves, he can see the pain in his mother's eyes, and he laments about how he feels terrible leaving her behind.
In the chorus, he tells his mother to stop crying as he'll return soon with a better life. He's going to pursue his future, and he will make it dignified for his mother. The mother assures him that the distance won't affect their bond, and she hopes that she'll relive her twenties through her son.
The song is a poignant tale of a son's love for his mother and the sacrifices he's willing to make to create a better life for her. The powerful lyrics coupled with Vargas's soulful voice make this song an emotional masterpiece.
