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.

Manny Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ayer me enteré en el pueblo, dices que quieres volver,
pero tanto me engañaste y tanto me maltratabas,
pero tanto me engañaste y tanto me maltrabas,
y quiero que quede claro, contigo no quiero nada,
y quiero que quede claro, contigo no quiero nada.
Yo a ti te trataba bien, contigo nunca fui malo,
pero tú querías matarme a cuchillito de palo,
pero tú querías matarme a cuchillito de palo,
por eso hoy ni mañana, contigo no quiero nada,
por eso hoy ni mañana, contigo no quiero nada.
No quiero tener problemas, no quiero calamidad,
no quiero tener problemas, no quiero calamidad,
si viene a lorar te digo a llorar pa mi eternidad,
si viene a llorar te digo a llorar pa mi eternidad,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba.
Actuaste a mala fe y no puedes comprender.
actuaste a mala fe y no puedes comprender,
agua que no has de beber mejor déjala correr,
agua que no has de beber mejor déjala correr,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba.
Me querías tener pillado por toda una eternidad,
tú me querías tener pillado por toda una eternidad,
no hay mal que dure 100 años y tú sabes lo demás,
no hay mal que dure 100 años y tú sabes lo demás,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba.
Ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba.
De ti, de ti, de ti, de ti, no quiero ada
se acabó lo que se daba.
Ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba,
ya de tí no quiero nada, se acabó lo que se daba.
Se acabó tu juego corazón...
The lyrics of Manny Manuel's song, "Se Acabo Lo Que Se Daba," speak of the end of a tumultuous relationship. The singer has heard that their partner wants to come back, but he refuses to continue with the relationship after being deceived and mistreated so much. He makes it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with this person anymore, and that they can cry all they want, but he won't take them back.
The song has a defiant tone, with the singer standing up for himself and refusing to be mistreated any further. The line "agua que no has de beber mejor déjala correr" means "if it's water you're not meant to drink, it's better to let it flow," implying that he doesn't want to have anything to do with his former partner anymore.
Overall, the song is about taking control of one's life and ending a toxic relationship. It's a powerful message about self-respect and moving on from toxicity.

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
