Hoy
Manguala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy pude entender por qué me siento así
Con la lluvia de testigo pienso en cómo me perdí
Me desorienté cambié de Norte sin querer
Y no encontraba el mapa nunca supe bien si esperar o correr

Ahora puedo ver de lejos entro al bosque a caminar
Y me encuentro con mi viejo que me habla de la amistad
Que la veo desde acá
Si estamos alejados o si estamos cerca para mí es igual

Y hoy soy lo que me pasó
Siento algo en el aire que me hace pensar en vos

Fui juntando fichas hasta que me cayó
La que decía "Danielito, no te pierdas en el montón"
Como la corriente del arroyo aquel
Que le daba pa' adelante que fluía porque siempre es hoy

Soy lo que me pasó
Siento algo en el aire que me hace pensar en vos
Y en cada rincón de mi mente y corazón
Puedo buscar y encontrarte hoy

Ya sé que sí
Sé que la Luna va a salir
Y voy a estar
Porque el momento va a llegar
La voy a ver
Porque me hace bien

Y hoy soy lo que me pasó
Siento algo en el aire que me hace pensar en vos




Y en cada rincón de mi mente y corazón
Puedo buscar y encontrarte hoy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Manguala's song "Hoy" talk about the singer's journey of self-reflection and understanding. They begin by saying that they now understand why they feel the way they do, and how they became lost along the way. They acknowledge that they got disoriented and changed direction without intending to, and that they didn't know whether to wait or run. However, now they can see from afar and are walking through the forest where they meet their old man who talks about friendship. The singer feels like closeness and distance are the same for them.


The chorus repeats twice in the song, where the singer says that they are what happened to them, and that they can feel something in the air that reminds them of someone. They continue to say that they collected chips until one day they lost one with a message, and it said not to get lost in the crowd. The flow of life is like the current of a stream that continues to flow because today is always today. The singer can search and find this person in every corner of their mind and heart.


The song seems to be a reminder to the singer that the past shouldn't hold them back, and they should keep on following their path of life. This song can be interpreted as a song about self-discovery, self-redemption, and self-acceptance. The singer acknowledges the hardships they have gone through and how it has shaped them into who they are today. They are grateful for their journey and understand that "hoy," or today, is what matters the most.
