Song Meaning of “Mi Voluntad” by Irving Manuel
Irving Manuel’s “Mi Voluntad” is a reflective track that encourages listeners to reflect on their lives and make decisions for themselves. It’s a call to be independent and make decisions that you know will be right for your life. The chorus of the song states “Mi Voluntad – obedeceré / Esta será mi decisión / Una vida libre / Es el destino que me decidí”. This translates to “My Will – I will obey / This will be my decision / A free life / Is the destiny I decided”.
The chorus reinforces the message of the song: that by standing up to opposition and making decisions you can create a life for yourself that you want. The song speaks to the strength of the individual and the importance of finding one’s sense of purpose in life in order to live a life of freedom.
The lyrics also note the importance of being true to oneself and the importance of trusting your own judgement. “Cada vez que me hablan / No me detengo si lo pienso bien / Pienso en lo que quiero / Yo no podré irme sin mi voluntad”. This translates to “Whenever they talk to me / I don’t stop if I think about it / I think about what I want / I won’t be able to go without my will”.
