Mi Alma
Story Behind the Song
"Mi Alma" (My Soul) is the most personal song on my Christmas album, Navidad En Vallarta, and the place where the record lets its guard down. It is dedicated to Alma, and her name carries the whole meaning of the song. "Mi alma, qué nombre más perfecto para ti": my soul, what a perfect name for you.
She is one of the strongest people I know. She has faced hard trials and carried them with dignity, with a brave heart, never afraid of the work that others refused to do. And yet all that strength comes wrapped in a deep tenderness. Her hugs teach you how to breathe again, and she brings a kind of peace I have not found anywhere else.
This song is my gratitude. Through pain, through my own stubbornness and the times I was absent, she stayed, a steady source of joy and love, holding the best of me when I could not hold it myself. She is, quite simply, the essence of my soul.
So it ends as a plea: stay. You are the most beautiful part of my life, and there was no truer name for everything you are to me than the one you already carry. Mi alma.
