He is considered one of the founders of the Cuban nueva trova, along with Silvio Rodríguez and Noel Nicola. A pianist and guitarist whose Brazilian like melodies set him apart from the raw style of Silvio Rodriguez.
A number of artists have performed with him. Among them Silvio Rodríguez, Joaquín Sabina, Ana Belén, Lilia Vera, Joan Manuel Serrat and Víctor Manuel stand out.
Among his songs, "Yolanda", "Yo me quedo", "Amo a esta isla", "Yo pisaré las calles nuevamente", "Para Vivir", and "El breve espacio en que no estás" are especially well-known.
On January 26, 2006, Pablo Milanés joined other internationally renowned figures and Latin American authors such as Nobel-laureate Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Benedetti, Ernesto Sábato, Thiago de Mello, Eduardo Galeano, Pablo Armando Fernández, Carlos Monsiváis, Jorge Enrique Adoum, Luis Rafael Sánchez, Mayra Montero, Frei Betto and Ana Lydia Vega, in demanding sovereignty for Puerto Rico and adding their name and signature to the Latin American and Caribbean Congress's Proclamation for the Independence of Puerto Rico, which approved a resolution favoring the island-nation's right to assert its independence, as ratified unanimously by political parties hailing from twenty two Latin American countries in November of 2006. [1] Pablo Milanés' public demand for the recognition of Puerto Rico's independence — in unison with other Latin American writers and figures in the cultural world— was obtained at the behest of the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP).[2]
Yolanda
Pablo Milanés Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quisiera fuera una declaracion de amor
Romantica sin reparar en formas tales
Que ponga freno a lo que siento ahora a raudales
Te amo
Te amo
Eternamente te amo
Si me faltaras no voy a morirme
Mi soledad se siente acompañada
Por eso a veces se que necesito
Tu mano
Tu mano
Eternamente tu mano
Cuando te vi sabia que era cierto
Este temor de hallarme descubierto
Tu me desnudas con siete razones
Me abres el pecho siempre que me colmas
De amores
De amores
Eternamente de amores
Si alguna vez me siento derrotado
Renuncio a ver el sol cada mañana
Rezando el credo que me has enseñado
Miro tu cara why digo en la ventana
Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
The lyrics of Pablo Milanés's song YOLANDA are a declaration of eternal love to the titular Yolanda. The singer wishes that the song was not just a composition but a true declaration of a romantic love without any inhibitions. He goes on to say that if he were to lose Yolanda, he would not die, but if he had to die, he wants to die with her. He feels less lonely whenever he is with her and knows that he needs her hand to hold on to, eternally. When the singer first saw her, he knew that he was truly in love, but he was afraid of being vulnerable. However, Yolanda managed to break down his defenses, and now he feels completely bare, being showered with her love all the time. Finally, the song ends with the singer saying that if he ever felt defeated, he would look at Yolanda, recite the creed she taught him, call out her name, and feel renewed.
It is a beautiful song about a man's love for a woman and how it has changed him for the better. The singer is not afraid to show his vulnerability and express his love for Yolanda unconditionally. The lyrics show how love can bring two people together and how it can change a person's perspective on life. It is a testament to the power of love and how it can make even the toughest of people feel completely bare.
