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.
No me hace falta
Victor Manuelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como tu sombra se apodera de mi vida
Siento un vacío que me esta matando sin tu amor
Sin consuelo mi alma va llorando ay que dolor
*
Y no tengo vida si no es junto a ti y no tengo vida
Yo no tengo vida si no es junto a ti
Solo tu mirada para siempre amarte
Solo dame una oportunidad
Te amare una eternidad *
Es que el dolor me invade el corazón
Cuando tú no estas aquí amor
Solo tengo que cerrar mis ojos un momento
Como un sueño vas apareciendo en mis recuerdos
Repite *
Es que el dolor me invade el corazón
Porque tú no estas aquí amor
Eee
Coro:
Contigo no hace falta nada
Tan solo con tu mirada
No hace falta nada
No hace falta tu presencia no necesito de nada más
Contigo no hace falta nada
Si conforme entra tu cara
No hace falta nada
Con eso tengo felicidad
Un vacío que me mata cuando tú no estas aquí
Y es que ya no tengo vida si tú no estas junto a mí
No hace falta na y no hace falta na
A pesar de la distancia
Siempre te mantengo viva si recuerdo tu fragancia
Y solo, y solo puedo prometerte
Que te amare y te amare y te amare
Que te amare hasta la eternidad
No hace falta na oye no, no hace falta na
No hace falta na, no hace falta na, eee
The lyrics of "No Me Hace Falta" by Victor Manuelle express the pain and longing of a person who cannot live without their loved one. The distance between them is palpable, and the singer describes feeling like their life is incomplete without the presence of their love. The opening lines, "A pesar de la distancia me mantengo vivo, como tu sombra se apodera de mi vida" (Despite the distance, I remain alive, as your shadow takes over my life) convey the idea that the memory and essence of their loved one is all-consuming. The singer feels an overwhelming emptiness and sorrow that only their love can heal, as he sings "siento un vacío que me está matando sin tu amor. Sin consuelo mi alma va llorando, ay que dolor" (I feel a void that is killing me without your love. My soul is crying inconsolably, oh what pain!)
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the presence of their love is enough to make them happy, as he sings "Contigo no hace falta nada, tan solo con tu mirada. No hace falta nada, no hace falta tu presencia no necesito de nada más" (With you, nothing else is needed, just with your gaze. I don't need anything else, your presence is enough). The singer declares that he will love his partner forever, even if they are separated, demonstrating a deep commitment to their relationship.
Overall, "No Me Hace Falta" explores the theme of separation, longing, and the overpowering nature of love. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a long-distance relationship, expressing the pain and difficulty of maintaining a connection across distance.
