Julieta Venegas invites us on a lively walk of self-discovery in “De Mis Pasos.” Instead of dwelling on the face of “past time,” she lets the wind push her forward, away from a passive partner who simply closes his eyes and waits for fate. The song’s pulsing accordion and rock vibe mirror this motion: every step is a lesson, every gust of air is a nudge to keep going.
At its heart, the chorus “Aprendo de mis pasos, entiendo en mi caminar” (I learn from my steps, I understand while walking) celebrates personal growth. Venegas sweeps away erased words and forgotten nostalgia, choosing to savor each moment as it comes so she can recognize patterns when they return. The result is an empowering anthem about trusting your own journey, embracing change, and finding wisdom in every stride you take.
