Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career. He recorded his first disc and the positive results came fast when in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the song "Descartada" sold 12 thousand copies. previous. His most recent production up to date is "Secreto de Amor" which was released in 2000 and sold over 1 million copies.
In February 2001 Joan received the prestigious award "Premio Lo Nuestro a la Música Latina" as recognition of his career, during 2003 Sebastian received the Songwriter of the universe Award for the second time at the 11th Annual El Premio ASCAP. He was awarded "The Silver Pen Award" in 2000, and was named el jefe
Donde Estaras
Joan Sebastian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tanto amor que ahora
Te regalo mi resignacion
Se que tu me amaste
Yo pude sentirlo
Quiero descansar en tu perdon
Voy a hacer de cuenta
Que nunca te fuiste
Y con tu recuerdo
Cuando este muy triste
Le hare compañia a mi soledad
Quiero que mi ausencia
Sean las grandes alas
Con las que tu puedas emprender
Ese vuelo largo
De tantas escalas
Y en alguna me puedas perder
Yo aqui entre la nada
Voy a hablar de todo
Buscare a mi modo continuar
Why hasta que los años
Cierren mi memoria
No me dejare de preguntar
Donde estara mi primavera
Donde se me ha escondido el sol
Que mi jardin olvido
Y el alma me marchito
Yo aqui entre la nada
Voy a hablar de todo
Buscare a mi modo continuar
Y hasta que los años
Cierren mi memoria
No me dejare de preguntar
Donde estara mi primavera
Donde se me ha escondido el sol
Que mi jardin olvido
Y el alma me marchito
Y el alma me marchito
The lyrics of Joan Sebastian’s song “Donde Estaras,” describe the pain and longing that the songwriter feels for his lost love. He acknowledges the love that they shared and how much he owes to her for that love. He gifts her his resignation and makes believe that she has only gone on a journey and will return soon. The song talks about the poet’s attempt to move on, to find solace in his solitude, but he can’t forget her. He wants her to have wings, to be free, even if it means he suffers in her absence. His question at the end of the song, “Where will my spring be?” reveals his desperate hope that even though she is gone now, perhaps she will return, and he can feel the warmth and light of life once again.
The lyrics have an intimate tone that speaks directly to the person who has gone away, as if talking to them in private. There is a spiritual and symbolic dimension to the lyrics that are touched upon by the use of the words “wings”, “journey" and “memory." The lyrics are touching and relatable, making us feel the depth of the poet’s heartache and sense of loss.

Donde estarás.!
Mi cielo azul
se me hizo gris,
desde que te fuiste
te confieso no logro ser feliz.
Donde estarás?
Quien se llevo tus tiernas mentiras
que me hicieron vivir?
Quien se llevo...
Miro por la ventana.
lloviendo esta
y me asomo a mi pena
que me matara.
Donde estarás?
Donde estarás?
Donde estarás?
Quien es tu amor?
Quien quiera que sea
mi alma no le desea este dolor.
Miro por la ventana,
lloviendo esta
y me asomo a mi pena
que me matara.
Donde estarás?
Donde estarás?
