Manny Manuel was born on the mountain town of Orocovis, Puerto Rico. He studied elementary and high school in the José Rojas Cortés School at his hometown. Since a young age, he started presenting himself in talent shows and other musical activities. He later joined the group Tempo Merenguero, and subsequently became a vocalist and choreographer for the merengue duo of Mayra y Celinés.
After recording these two albums with Los Sabrosos del Merengue, Manuel decided to pursue a solo career. In June 1994, Manuel left the group and in October 1 of the same year debuted as a solo artist. Several months later, he released his first solo album titled Rey de Corazones. The album was certified platinum after a few weeks. With the success of the album, on November, 1995, Manuel presented himself at the Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center selling out six shows.
In 1996, he released his second album titled Auténtico followed by concerts at the Guaynabo Performing Arts Center and at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum. Manuel released his next album titled Es Mi Tiempo in 1998 which included the hits Como Duele, Margarita, and a cover of Alejandro Sanz' song Corazón Partío. The album took him on a tour through Spain where the album was certified gold. His next album, Lleno de Vida, preceded a second presentation at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum. This concert was recorded and later released on CD.
After a change of labels and a move to the United States, Manuel released the album Serenata in 2003, which included covers of traditional romantic songs. The album sold over 100,000 and Manuel followed it with yet another presentation at the Coliseum in 2004. For this album, he was also nominated for a Latin Grammy.
In 2007, he released another album, Tengo Tanto, which included fusions of merengue with other Caribbean rhythms like vallenato. Manuel was one of several artists selected to perform in "KQ Live Concert" on September 27, 2008, organized by KQ 105 FM, the event included several renowned artists from Puerto Rico and other Latin American locations
Cuando Ya No Me Quieras
Manny Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No me finjas cariño
No me tengas piedad, compasión, ni temor
Si me diste tu olvido
No te culpo ni riño, ni te doy el disgusto de mirar a mi dolor
Partiré canturreando
Mis poemas más tristes
Lo que tú me quisiste
Y cuando nadie ya escuche
Mis canciones ya viejas
Ay, detendré mi camino
En un pueblo lejano y allí moriré
Sé que ya no me quieres
Me lo han dicho tus ojos
Partiré por la ruta
Que no tiene final
Vagaré siempre, siempre
Partiré sin enojos, y mis labios sin besos
Cantarán un madrigal
Partiré canturreando
Mi poema más triste
The lyrics to Manny Manuel's song Cuando Ya No Me Quieras tell the story of a man who knows that his lover no longer loves him and is preparing to leave her. The opening lines convey a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the man tells his lover not to pretend to love him any longer or to feel pity or fear for him. He knows that she has already forgotten him, but he does not blame or scold her for this.
The song then goes on to describe the man's plans for when he leaves his lover. He will depart singing his saddest poems and telling everyone how much she once loved him. Although he knows that no one will listen to his old songs anymore, he will continue to wander without anger or bitterness, his lips singing a love song that he knows will remain unrequited.
The final verse of the song repeats the idea that the man knows his lover no longer loves him, and that he is prepared to wander alone without her. However, he will continue to sing his sad songs as they always have given him some solace. As the song ends, it is clear that the man has accepted his fate and is resigned to a life without love.

Según este informe aparece como autor de la canción el señor Omar Alfanno quien es panameño. No obstante vi una entrevista en el show de Silvio donde le hace una entrevista a José Peguero, dominicano y a su esposa y dice el que es el autor. Aquí les dejo el enlace https://youtu.be/vsRlWKUhdyI
