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
Me Molesta
Manny Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me molesta que le hables,
Me molesta que respires
Si él está en el mismo aire.
Y me molesta que suspires
Si él lleva un lindo traje,
Me molesta que camines
No son celos sin motivos infundados,
No soy ciego veo que pasa a mi lado
No lo llames más, no le hables más,
Y así dejaré de dudar.
Mira no me gusta nada su mala intención,
Que lo que busca es robarte el corazón,
Que te provoca para quitarme tu amor,
Es un dos caras y me molesta
Que me da rabia cuando se acerca a ti,
Se hace mi amigo para enamorarte a ti,
El muy canalla quiere quitarme tu amor,
Eso me asusta y con razón.
Es un hipócrita y pervertido,
Que me molesta y que no es mi amigo.
Me molesta que lo mires
Me molesta que le hables,
Me molesta que respires
Si él está en el mismo aire.
No son celos sin motivos infundados,
No soy ciego veo que pasa a mi lado
No lo llames más, no le hables más,
Y así dejaré de dudar.

The lyrics to Manny Manuel's song "Me Molesta" describe a person who is feeling upset and bothered by the presence of another person in their loved one's life. The singer expresses frustration that this other person is being given attention and affection, even when they are in close proximity. They feel that their concerns aren't unfounded, as they can see what is happening and fear that their partner may be taken away from them.
The singer is clearly not comfortable with the other person, describing them as having "mala intención" (bad intentions) and being a "hipócrita y pervertido" (hypocrite and pervert). The other person is described as trying to "enamorarte a ti" (make you fall in love with him/her) and "quitar [su] amor" (take away their love).
Despite the strong negative feelings towards the other person, the singer is aware that their jealousy may be unfounded and is asking their loved one to stop contacting the other person so that they can feel more secure in their relationship.
Overall, the song captures the feelings of jealousy and insecurity that can arise in romantic relationships, particularly when there is a perceived threat.
