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.
Se Me Rompe El Alma
Victor Manuelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pues tu sabes bien,
que mi vida ya no es la misma,
desde que no tengo su amor.
No me preguntes como me puede sentir
si mi orgullo se fu� al piso,
me reclama el coraz�n
sin creer en nada,solo en el amor,
supo entregarse toda,
mientras yo le jugaba a la desilucisi�n,
por que fu� solo mi culpa,
y su voz escuchar� un adi�s.
Es que se me rompe el alma,
cada vez que pienso en ella,
es que pierdo la calma,
de solo pensar ya no podr� tenerla.
Se me rompe el alma,
cuando pienso en la tristeza,
que me dejo la decepci�n de
no saberla amar como ella me amo.
No me preguntes como me puedo sentir
si mi orgullo se fu� al piso,
y me reclama el coraz�n
Por que ella supo darme todo
sin creer en nada,solo en el amor,
supo entregarse toda,
mientras yo le jugaba a la desilucisi�n,
por que fu� solo mi culpa,
y su voz escuchar� un adi�s.
Es que se me rompe el alma,
cada vez que pienso en ella,
es que pierdo la calma,
de solo pensar ya no podr� tenerla.
Se me rompe el alma,
cuando pienso en la tristeza,
que me dejo la decepci�n de
no saberla amar como ella me amo.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
Se me rompe el alma, y me duele el corazon por tan solo recordarla.
Se me rompe el alma, por eso el favor te pido no vueles a mencionarla.
Se me rompe el alma, si mi orgullo se fu� al piso y me reclama el coraz�n.
Se me rompe el alma, por que no supe quierala, no supe darla mi amor.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
Se me rompe el alma, (se me rompe el alma) se me hace felacito.
No me hables mas de ella y porfavor te lo suplico.
Se me rompe el alma, (se me rompe el alma) se me hace felacito.
Y es que no te has dado cuenta, todavia la necesito.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma, se me rompe el alma.
Se rompe por aqui, mi alma
Se rompe por alla, no lo puedo sentar
Se rompe por aqui, al saber que no la tengo
Se rompe por alla, el dolor me va matar
Se rompe por aqui, y cada vez que pienso en ella
Se rompe por alla, senor espierdo la carma
Se rompe por aqui, y me duele asta adentro
Se rompe por alla, hay que se me rompe el alma
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
Es que se me rompe, se me rompe el alma.
