Mil Canciones
La Muza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si yo me dejara llevar
Por el amor de otros senderos
Me perderia al caminar
Mi ser ya no tendria reflejo no
Nadie puede parar mi voz
Me niego a ser esclavo de sus cuentos
Mi lucha y mi revolucion
No son solo palabras al viento no

A veces no quiero seguir
Hay veces que quiero llegar
Donde se mezclan las naciones
Siento que nacen mil canciones
A veces quiero sonreir
Hay veces que quiero llorar
Pues mi nostalgia corre en voces
Que se detienen a la merced de mi verdad

Quiero demostrarte bien
Quiero enseñarte mi ser
Quiero cantar y soltar
Esta grande sinceridad
Algo que ya tu conoces




Algo que sorprende voces
Algo que te va llenar de mi verdad

Overall Meaning

In La Muza's song "Mil Canciones," the lyrics describe the struggle of staying true to oneself while navigating the pressure to conform to society's expectations. The first verse speaks about the temptation to follow other paths of love, but ultimately choosing to stay grounded in one's own identity. The line "Mi ser ya no tendria reflejo" indicates that deviating from one's true self would result in a loss of identity. The singer then declares that no one can stop their voice and that they refuse to be a slave to other people's stories, emphasizing the importance of individuality and independence. The final line of the verse "Mi lucha y mi revolucion / No son solo palabras al viento" means that their struggle and revolution are not just empty words, but are backed by action, further highlighting the importance of staying true to oneself.


The second verse speaks of the ups and downs of life; there are moments when one wants to keep pushing forward (querer seguir) and times when one wants to just reach a destination (querer llegar). When the singer is surrounded by different cultures, they feel inspired and creative, which is shown through the lyric "Siento que nacen mil canciones" (I feel like a thousand songs are born). At times, the singer wants to smile, and other times they want to cry, showing the emotional complexity of life. The nostalgia they feel is expressed through their singing and the voices that stop to listen, emphasizing self-expression as a way of coping and connecting with others.


The final verse expresses the singer's desire to show their true self and to teach someone about their authenticity. They want to sing with sincerity and honesty, and this is something that the listener already knows and that can surprise others. The phrase "te va llenar de mi verdad" means "it will fill you with my truth," emphasizing how the singer's self-expression is a way of asserting themselves and connecting with others.
