Although born in New York, Víctor was raised primarily in Añasco and Isabela, Puerto Rico. Growing up in Puerto Rico had a great impact on his youth as he enjoyed salsa music (which was immensely popular in Puerto Rico at the time). His singing career began by chance, during a concert at his high school's graduation party by salsa superstar Gilberto Santa Rosa. At the instigation of classmates, who were going on about their friend the sonero, Santa Rosa invited Víctor to jump up on stage and sing a song with him. To Santa Rosa's surprise, not only could Victor sing, but he "free-styled" the improvisational soneo lyrics in the song, and traded soneos with Santa Rosa. Shortly thereafter, on Santa Rosa's recommendation, Puerto Rican bandleader Don Periñon hired teenage Victor as a backup singer. During these years of apprenticeship he performed with numerous salsa greats.
Thanks again to Santa Rosa, Manuelle was eventually signed as a solo artist to Sony Tropical. His debut album, Justo A Tiempo ("Just in Time"), which Santa Rosa produced, was released in 1993.
Instinto Y Deseo
Victor Manuelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y dentro de mis pesamientos vuelo,
recuerdo que cuando te beso
un suspiro vuelve a nacer.
Coro x2:
Sabes amor como controlarme
y sin solución me someto al verbo
y sabes que cuando me niego en
Me miras y en tus ojos yo veo deseo.
Y empezamos y nos hacemos
un solo cuerpo y en los dos se manifiesta
el derroche que a amar despoja la piel.
Pides que te haga el amor,
ven hazme el amor.
Me besas con loca pasión,
qué puedo hacer yo.
Me baño en un mar de sudor,
quiero que esto no tenga fin.
Tus manos se aprietan a mi,
ya vas a sentir.
Con tu cuerpo me empiezas a hundir,
que empiezo a vivir.
No me importa si muro mañana
si estás junto a mi.
Es el instinto,
Se apodera de mi cuerpo
y me hace sentir distinto.
Lo que deseo,
Ganas de hacerte el amor
cada vez que yo te veo.
Es el instinto,
Me insitas, me inquietas,
me alocas, me pierdo en tu laberinto.
Lo que deseo,
Pensando y diciendo cosas
que no yo mismo me creo.
Es el instinto,
El instinto me provoca
y el deseo no controlo.
Lo que deseo,
Desde que estás a mi lado
ya yo no quire estar solo.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Me dejo llevar por el instinto,
como te deseo.
Al sentir tu cuerpo
cerca al amor yo no me niego.
Me dejo llevar por el instinto,
como te deseo.
Tu me insitas, me provocas
y al contacto de tu boca
amor es lo que deseo.
Me dejo llevar por el instinto,
como te deseo.
Otra vez.
No controlo el instinto,
me domina el deseo.
De sólo sentir tu cuerpo
siento fuego y yo me quemo.
Me dejo llevar por el instinto,
como te deseo.
Me embriagas con tus caricias
y en tu cuerpo yo me duermo.
Deseo.
The song Instinto Y Deseo by Victor Manuelle is a passionate and sensual ode to the power of instinct and desire in a romantic relationship. The singer dreams of disappearing one day and getting lost in his thoughts and desires. He recalls that when he kisses his lover, a sigh is born within him, and he becomes unable to resist his urges. The chorus repeats the idea that his lover knows how to control him and he gives in willingly. The singer sees desire in his lover's eyes, and as they come together, their bodies become one, and their love manifests itself in all-consuming passion that leaves them stripped of their physical barriers.
The lyrics are full of images of sensuality and lust. The singer is urged to make love by his lover, who kisses him with wild passion. They both sweat are lost in their desire and do not want this feeling to ever end. The singer is overcome by his lover's touch, and nothing else matters except the pleasure they bring each other. He feels he is living for the first time and is willing to die tomorrow as long as she is next to him. The singer is controlled by instinct and desire, and he doesn't even believe the things he is saying and feeling.
Overall, the lyrics of the song Instinto Y Deseo by Victor Manuelle paint a vivid picture of the all-consuming passion of romantic love.
