Composer’s Notes

I always say I am a singer first and then a composer. My voice is that one constant that I keep trying to understand (and trust!). I wrote “Mi Voz” after a successful season of trusting the presence of my voice (both sung, spoken, and even as a composer).

I never want to brag or be seen as arrogant. At the same time, I want to be able to hold space to recognize that what we do can have such a positive impact and that my voice and yours together has tremendous power.

How has your voice guide you and what surprises has it shown you? If you have any stories to share with me, or any questions, please reach me at composer.cordero@gmail.com
Hugs!

Text

Hoy siento tanta libertad.
Hoy siento que mi voz persiste
La puedo escuchar cantar
Me puedo ver sonreír.
Hoy siento tanta libertad.
Hoy siento que mi voz es fuerte
La puedo ver volar,
Me puedo ver soñar.

Mi voz, mi voz,
Escucho mi voz
La escucho tan fuerte
Me trae amor.

Mi voz dice la verdad.
Mi voz abraza mi corazón.

Mi voz me recuerda
Que puedo confiar en mi poder de escribir.
Poder amarme de verdad.
Mi voz.

-Carlos Cordero

TRANSLATION:

I feel so much freedom today.
I feel that my voice persists.
I can hear it sing
I can see myself smiling.

I feel so much freedom today.
I feel that my voice is strong.
I can see it fly,
I can see myself dreaming.

My voice, my voice,
I hear my voice
I hear it so loud
It brings me love.

My voice speaks the truth.
My voice embraces my heart.

My voice reminds me
That I can trust my power to write.
Being able to truly love myself.
My voice.
