Uno Entre Mil

Manuel Mijares' song 'Uno Entre Mil' is a powerful anthem of resilience and determination. The lyrics speak to the universal struggle of overcoming obstacles and the belief in oneself against all odds. The phrase 'Uno entre mil yo ganaré' which translates to 'One in a thousand, I will win,' encapsulates the song's message of hope and the relentless pursuit of success despite the challenges that life presents.

The song's narrative encourages listeners to ignore the naysayers and to keep moving forward, emphasizing that the journey of life is fraught with difficulties ('Que cuesta arriba la partida del juego de la vida'). Mijares uses metaphors like 'la vida es como lo marea' (life is like the tide) to illustrate the unpredictable nature of existence, where one must adapt to the constant ebb and flow. The reference to 'musica ligera' (light music) suggests that there is joy to be found even in the darkest times, and that music can be a source of happiness and solace.

Mijares' commitment to authenticity ('Nunca hice trampa ni la voy hacer') and his willingness to start over ('Lo pierdo todo y vuelvo a comenzar') reflect a strong character and an unwavering spirit. The song is a call to action, urging individuals to persevere until they reach their goals ('Hasta que suene la campana ve'). It's a reminder that victory is possible for those who refuse to give up, even when they feel like just 'one in a thousand'.
