D… Read Full Bio ↴Laura Fygi (born August 27, 1955, in Amsterdam) is a Dutch singer.
Daughter to a Dutch father, a manager at Philips, and an Egyptian mother, a belly dancer by profession, Fygi lived with her parents in South America for the first eight years of her life.
Between 1987 and 1991, she was a member of popular Dutch girl-band, Centerfold. During performances, the trio dressed themselves in sexy lingerie. They had hits in the Netherlands and all over Europe, and were equally famous in Japan.
In 1991, the ladies of Centerfold stopped performing and Fygi (together with Rowan Moore) started a band called The Backlot. After one performance in Dutch theatre Paradiso, an album was expected, but Mercury Records had already asked Fygi to make a solo album. This first album, Introducing Laura Fygi, comprised mostly jazz numbers, and was produced by Ruud Jacobs. In the album, Fygi was accompanied by celebrated Belgian musician Toots Thielemans.
Como Fué
Laura Fygi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no se decirte como fue
no se explicarme que pasó
pero de ti me enamoré
Fue una luz
que eliminó todo mi ser
tu risa como un manantial
llenó mi vida de inquietud
Fueron tus manos o tu boca
fueron tus ojos o tu voz
o a lo mejor la impaciencia
de tanto esperar tu llegada
Mas no se
no se decirte como fue
no se explicarme que pasó
pero de ti me enamoré
Fue una luz
que iluminó todo mi ser
tu risa como un manantial
regó mi vida de inquietud
Fueron tus manos o tu boca
fueron tus ojos o tu voz
o a lo mejor la impaciencia
de tanto esperar tu llegada
Mas no se
no se decirte como fue
no se explicarme que pasó
pero de ti me enamoré
The lyrics of Laura Fygi's song "Como Fué" speak about falling in love without being able to explain how it happened. The singer is saying that they don't know how to describe what occurred, but they fell deeply in love with this person. The feeling was like a light that filled their entire being and enriched their life with desire.
The song speaks of the person's longing for their lover and their impatience with waiting for them to arrive. The lyrics suggest that it was the lover's hands, mouth, eyes, or voice that captivated them, but they cannot determine which factor it was that made them fall in love. The chorus repeats that the singer does not understand how the love emerged but acknowledges its existence and intensity.
The song's theme is relatable to many people, as falling in love can feel incredibly natural and right, yet it can be challenging to pinpoint precisely what made it happen. The lyrics capture that inexplicable feeling of being swept up in emotion and desire, unable to define precisely how it occurred.
