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
Ya te olvid
Manny Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vuelvo a vagar hacia mi vida que esta lejos y prohibida para ti!
Ya te olvide ya estas muy lejos de mi!
Tu lo lograste por herirme, lastimarme y convertirme en no se que!
Me atrapaste, me tuviste entre tus manos
Me enseñaste lo inhumano y lo infeliz que puede ser
Te fingiste exactamente enamorada
Me dijiste que jamás podría olvidarte
Que después iría a rogarte
Y a decirte: bésame!
Yo luche contra el amor que te tenia y se fue
Y ahora ya te olvide!
Ya te olvide vuelvo a ser libre otra vez!
Vuelvo a vagar hacia mi vida que esta lejos y prohibida para ti!
Me atrapaste, me tuviste entre tus manos
Me enseñaste lo inhumano y lo infeliz que puede ser
Te fingiste exactamente enamorada
Aunque nunca me has amado ya lo se!
Me dijiste que jamás podría olvidarte
Que después iría a rogarte
Y a decirte: bésame!
Yo luche contra el amor que te tenia y se fue
Ahora ya te olvide!
The lyrics to Manny Manuel's song "Ya Te Olvide" depict the end of a toxic relationship and the singer's journey towards freedom and healing. The opening line, "Ya te olvide vuelvo a ser libre otra vez" ("I forgot you, I'm free again"), sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer declares that he has finally let go of his ex-lover and is moving on.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the pain and heartache he experienced while in the relationship. He describes how his ex-lover "me atrapaste, me tuviste entre tus manos" ("caught me, held me in your hands"), and taught him "lo inhumano y lo infeliz que puede ser" ("how inhumane and unhappy life can be"). He also accuses his ex-lover of pretending to be in love with him, even though "nunca me has amado ya lo se" ("you never loved me, I know that now").
The chorus, "Ya te olvide ya estas muy lejos de mi" ("I forgot you, you're very far from me"), repeats the song's central message: the singer has moved on and is no longer tied to his ex-lover. The line "vuelvo a vagar hacia mi vida que esta lejos y prohibida para ti" ("I'm wandering back to a life that's far away and forbidden to you") suggests that the singer is starting a new chapter in his life, one that doesn't include his ex-lover.
Overall, "Ya Te Olvide" is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the healing power of letting go. Through his lyrics, Manny Manuel encourages listeners to release toxic relationships and embrace the freedom that comes with moving on.
