I wake up to life
Like the child that walks
I go making the heart strong in each attempt
The flags rise
Something new awaits us
There are so many beautiful things left to reach
Don't fall on me today
Hold me tight and I will continue with you
I am of the sea
I am of the sun
I am of the land that is born from the soul and wraps your voice
I am of you, I am just
That scream that travels in the air and makes you fly
That scream of love
That scream of peace
That song to life
Because the dream is in my hands
If you want, we save it
And that nobody clouds our reason
Today
I surrender to what I am
I am not even a feeling, you are on time, feel it
Don't fall on me, no
Hold me tight and I will continue, with you
I am of the sea
I am of the sun
I am of the land that is born from the soul and wraps your voice
I am of you, I am just
That scream that travels in the air and makes you fly
That scream of love
That scream of a father that understands life
I am of the sun, I am of the sea
I am the breath of the air that comes and goes
I am of the land
I am of you, I am just
That scream that travels in the air and makes you fly
That scream of love
That scream of peace
That song to life

SONG MEANING

Un Canto A La Vida is Vanesa Martín’s radiant wake-up call. The lyrics open with the image of a child taking its first steps, setting a mood of fresh beginnings and fearless curiosity. As flags rise and something “nuevo” waits on the horizon, the singer’s heart grows stronger with every attempt, reminding us that life is an adventure meant to be embraced, not endured.

The chorus declares, “Yo soy del mar, soy del sol, soy de la tierra,” fusing the elements into one empowering identity. Martín invites us to grab her hand, keep standing, and let a shared “grito de amor y de paz” travel through the air. The song celebrates unity, hope, and the simple power of believing that our dreams are worth saving if we protect them together. It is, quite literally, a song to life—a melodic boost of optimism that encourages listeners to live boldly, love loudly, and stay rooted in what truly matters.
