Upon returning to Latin America, she studied at the University of the Andes, graduating with a degree in industrial engineering. While still in college, Lú maintained a television career, beginning in 1994 as a presenter on the popular show Locomotora. Her experience on the show gave her countless opportunities to work around musicians and even make forays into production work, learning what it meant to be on the other side of the camera. As her contact with professional musicians such as Luis Manuel Díaz, Gil Magno, and Cesar Franco continued, so did her desire to pursue her own musical expression. Putting years of networking to good use, Lú struck a deal with Universal Latino, which released her debut album, Lágrimas Cálidas, in 2006. The record's single, "No Te Pido Flores," became the theme song for a popular telenovela, a sure path to record industry success. Lágrimas Cálidas achieved gold status in no time, landing singles on a variety of Billboard's Latin charts. A series of U.S. appearances later and Lú began to catch the eye of North American audiences. Already well known throughout Latin America, Lú joined the rising number of Spanish-speaking pop icons who made big waves in English-language markets (Shakira, Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias).

Es Por Ti
Fanny Lú Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mas fuerte que tu y yo
mas fuerte que el amor
es algo en tu interior
que se interpone entre los dos
no tiene forma de mujer
no se puede tocar ni ver
preguntas sin respuesta
que no logro comprender

y la verdad es que me duele
ay, que te vayas como arena
deslizandote en mis manos
sin poderte contener
y la verdad es que se puede
porque cuando tu me miras
veo brillar azul del
cielo que me ayuda a sostener

coro

y es por ti
tu amor y mi rival
mi luz y oscuridad
como dormir y despertar
mi feliz felicidad
tu amor y mi rival
me quitas y todo me das
vida muerte, dulce amargo
mi principio y mi final

como goma de borrar
es este amor inmenso
un sueño tan profundo
que termina un gran desvelo
una inmensa ola que al pasar
lleva de regreso al mar
tantas huellas tristes
que dejamos tu y yo

y la verdad es que no muere
porque yo al tocar tu mano
siento que es como si fuera esta la primera vez
y la verdad es que se puede
porque cuando tu me miras
siento que es que yo contigo
vuelvo a ser quien quiero ser

rep coro.

y es que con tu amor se puede
llegar al otro lao del rio
y navegar por las corrientes
que a tu lado se vencen
y es que contigo se puede
subir hasta lo mas alto
y agarrarme de las nubes y no volver a caer

rep coro

y es por ti
