In 1995, his tribute to Mexico's beloved Trio Los Panchos, Recordando A Los Panchos, earned him considerable acclaim and produced two major hits, "Miseria" and "No, No, Y No."
He owns and primarily lives in a huge ranch named 'Los Tres Potrillos" located between the cities of Guadalajara and Chapala Jalisco, Mexico. It was named after his three sons. It is complete with stables, 2 houses, a lake, high bred horses and a church. During Christmas time thousands of children go to this ranch where hundreds of thousands of dollars in Christmas gifts are given out.
He loves miniature horses and has bred them at his ranch, where he even has some as small as 6 inches.
In 2005, Fernández and his sons, Alejandro and Vicente Jr., made history by becoming the first Latin American singers to appear as cartoons in a video, for Vicente Sr.'s song, Al Mayor de los Fernandez (To the Oldest Fernández), dedicated to Vicente Sr.'s father.
Vicente has been married to Maria del Refugio Abarca Villaseñor since December 27, 1963. He has three sons with her: Vicente Jr, Gerardo, and Alejandro. His fans and the media refer to him as "Chente", a diminutive of his name out of affection but in interviews and events he is also addressed as Don Vicente out of respect. In Mexico he is referred to as "El Rey" (the king) and as "El Charro de Huentitán" (the Charro of Huentitan). His wife is affectionately known as Doña Cuca. Vicente, just like his son Alejandro, is notorious for being a ladies man and is often called a Don Juan. [1]
Vicente was involved in a scandal when it was made public that he had maintained a relation for ten years with Patricia Rivera, whom he met in 1977 while filming "El Arracadas". Years later she declared that her son, Pablo Rodrigo, was a product of that relation and Vicente recognized the son as his, giving him the Fernandez name. Afterwards DNA testing proved that Pablo was not his son.[2]
In 2004, while in concert in Miami's American Airlines Arena, Vicente had to pay $30,000 USD for having gone over the original scheduled time for the concert. He sang for three hours some of his all time hits as well as songs from his then new album "Se Me Hizo Tarde la Vida".[3]
Vicente has a star in Hollywood's Walk of Fame and his ceremony there was attended by over 5,000 people, breaking all previous attendance records.[4]
Vicente retired in 2016 in a massive concert in Estadio Azteca, Mexico city.
He fell from a horse in his rancho in august 2021, causing a rapid decline in his health. Vicente Fernandez, one of the greatest mexicans to ever live, passed away on December 12, 2021, from complications related to his fall.

Por Un Amor -
Vicente Fernández Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me desvelo y vivo apasionado
Tengo un amor
Que en mi vida dejó para siempre amargo dolor
Pobre de mí
Esta vida es mejor que se acabe
No es para mí
Cuánto sufre mi pecho que late tan solo por ti
Por un amor
He llorado gotitas de sangre del corazón
Me ha dejado con el alma herida
Sin compasión
Pobre de mí
Esta vida es mejor que se acabe
No es para mí
Pobre de mi (ay corazón)
Pobrecito de mí (no sufras más)
Cuánto sufre mi pecho que late tan solo por ti
Vicente Fernández's song "Por Un Amor" is a poignant love ballad that poetically captures the pain and longing of unrequited love. The singer of the song is deeply in love with someone who does not reciprocate his feelings, and as a result, he finds himself constantly sleepless and passionately devoted to a love that has left him with bitter pain. The lyrics suggest that the singer has suffered greatly for the object of his affection, shedding tears of blood and feeling deeply wounded in his soul.
The chorus of the song, "Pobre de mi," which translates to "Poor me," communicates the deep sense of hopelessness and despair that the singer feels in the face of this unrequited love. He declares that this life is better off ending, as it doesn't hold any meaning for him without the one he loves. The vivid imagery of a heart that beats only for the unattainable beloved creates a sense of intense emotional turmoil and unfulfilled desire.
Overall, "Por Un Amor" is a powerful expression of the pain and longing that can accompany unrequited love, and it highlights the ability of music to capture and communicate deep emotional experiences through its lyricism and melody.
