El Mañana

David Bisbal's song 'El Mañana' delves into the profound journey of self-discovery and the resilience required to navigate life's challenges. The lyrics reflect a deep introspection, where the artist acknowledges the time lost in understanding his true self. The metaphor of fighting 'molinos y gigantes' (windmills and giants) alludes to the classic tale of Don Quixote, symbolizing the often futile battles we face in our quest for identity and purpose. Despite these struggles, the artist admits to feeling unseen and misunderstood, highlighting a sense of isolation even amidst a crowd.

The chorus of the song brings a sense of hope and continuity. Bisbal suggests that even if nothing significant happens and the 'curtain closes,' his voice will continue to resonate. This metaphor of the curtain closing can be interpreted as the end of a chapter or even life itself, but the enduring voice symbolizes the lasting impact one can have. The uncertainty of 'what will happen tomorrow' reflects the universal anxiety about the future, yet there is a sense of acceptance and readiness to face whatever comes.

In the latter part of the song, Bisbal reflects on the lessons learned through his journey. He speaks of playing without a ball, a metaphor for making the best out of difficult situations. The realization that 'the price has nothing to do with value' underscores a deeper understanding of life's true worth beyond materialistic measures. The acknowledgment of past mistakes and the wisdom gained from them is a testament to personal growth. The recurring question of 'what will happen tomorrow' ties back to the theme of uncertainty, but with a newfound strength and resilience to face it.
