Tú y yo
David Bustamante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque veo que no estas
Tu cariño me hace falta
Odio estar en soledad
Yo te necesito amor
Se me parte el corazón
De pensar que todo ya se terminó.
De tu piel su resplandor
Primavera en el desierto
Un oasis salvador
Un sueño que murió
Es tan frío que ni siento
El latir de este arañado corazón.
Si éramos tu y yo
El reflejo de un eterno amor
Dando muestras en cada rincón
Porqué ahora ya no estás
Como duele verte amar a otro hombre
Ya no quiero sufrir más.
Prisionero de tu dulce miel
Aún sabiendo que no volveré
Hoy anhelo aquel ayer
Me ahogo en lagrimas...mujer.
Cuando intento levantarme
Cuando intento olvidar
Apareces sonriendo
Crees que es fácil perdonar
Pero hay tanto dolor
Me has roto la ilusión
Eres niebla que me tapa todo el sol.
Si éramos tu y yo
El reflejo de un eterno amor
Dando muestras en cada rincón
Porqué ahora ya no estás
Como duele verte amar a otro hombre
Ya no quiero sufrir más.
Prisionero de tu dulce miel
Aún sabiendo que no volveré
Hoy anhelo aquel ayer
Me ahogo en lagrimas...mujer.
David Bustamante's song Tú y yo is a melodious composition that reveals the pain, loneliness, and heartbreak of an individual who misses their loved one and longs to be with them. The lyrics of the song highlight the emotions of missing someone special and the struggle to move on from a past relationship.
The opening lines, "Hoy no despierto igual que siempre, porque veo que no estás" (Today I woke up differently because I see that you're not here), highlight the absence of the loved one, creating a feeling of emptiness and loneliness. The singer expresses their need for love and the pain of being alone, "Tu cariño me hace falta, odio estar en soledad, yo te necesito amor, se me parte el corazón" (I miss your love, I hate being alone, I need you, my heart is broken). The chorus of the song, "Si éramos tú y yo, el reflejo de un eterno amor, dando muestras en cada rincón, porqué ahora ya no estás" (If we were you and I, the reflection of eternal love, showing it in every corner, why aren't you here now), portrays the singer's yearning to be with their loved one again.
The song continues with the recollection of memories shared together, "Aún recuerdo tus caricias, de tu piel su resplandor, primavera en el desierto, un oasis salvador" (I still remember your caresses, the glow of your skin, spring in the desert, a saving oasis), but it ends with the realization that the relationship has ended and their love is with someone else. "Prisionero de tu dulce miel, aún sabiendo que no volveré, hoy anhelo aquel ayer, me ahogo en lágrimas...mujer" (Prisoner of your sweet honey, knowing I won't return, today I long for yesterday, drowning in tears... woman).
The song highlights the pain of heartbreak, loss, and the struggle to move on from past relationships. It reminds listeners of the bittersweet feelings that arise when one is alone and missing someone they love, but that love is no longer there.
