Song Meaning of “No Soy de Piedra” by Víctor Manuelle
No Soy de Piedra, a song by Víctor Manuelle, is a heartfelt ballad of a man pining for the love of a woman who has moved on from him. The song is a plea for her to reconsider and to remember the strong connection that they shared. The lyrics make it clear that he is deeply hurt by her moving on, but he still holds onto hope that she will come back to him.
The chorus beautifully expresses his need for her, saying: “No soy de piedra para no ver tu brillo, no/Y no hay distancia aunque tu camino sea largo.” (I am not made of stone so I can’t ignore your light/And there is no distance, even though your path is long). He expresses his confidence that someday she will remember their love and return, despite the distance between them.
In the bridge, he makes a desperate plea to her: “Volvamos a empezar, aunque haya dolor/ Tu amor me hace fuerte, igual que un león.” (Let’s start again, even if it hurts/Your love makes me strong, like a lion). He knows that it might be painful to go back to where they were, but he also finds the strength in her love and the two of them can overcome even the greatest obstacles.
