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

Manny Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y con ellos se ha ido la luz
De violeta de viste la tarde
Porque pronto la noche vendrá
Que me importa que venga la noche
Con su negra mantilla luz
Si en el fondo de mi alma tú eres
Que me importa
Que la lluvia caiga despiadadamente
Que me importa
Que el mar en la noche no quiera cantar
Que me importa que el cielo no tenga
Ni estrellas ni luna
Si yo tengo en tu ojos el cielo
La luna y el mar
Que me importa
Que ne la vida todo tenga su comienzo
Que me importa
Que todo comienzo tenga final
Si mi alma será toda tuya
Por toda la vida
Que me importa que todo se acabe
Si me quedas tú
The opening lines, "Los ojos del sol se han cerrado / Y con ellos se ha ido la luz," mean that the sun has set and darkness has fallen. The next line, "De violeta de viste la tarde / Porque pronto la noche vendrá," describes the color of the sky during sunset, which has a violet hue. The singer then asks, "Que me importa que venga la noche / Con su negra mantilla luz," questioning the importance of the night and its darkness. However, he answers his own question by saying, "Si en el fondo de mi alma tú eres / Una aurora radiante de amor," explaining that the person he loves brings light and a radiant aura to his soul, even during the darkest hours.
The chorus, "Que me importa," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's disregard for external factors such as rain, the sea not singing, or the sky without stars or moon. He explains that none of this matters to him because he has the person he loves, who brings him the sky, the moon, and the sea. The final lines, "Si mi alma será toda tuya / Por toda la vida / Que me importa que todo se acabe / Si me quedas tú," express that even if everything else ends, as long as he has the person he loves, all is perfect in his world.
