Tu por que
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le ha dado sentido a la vida, no le encuentro contigo
Ninguna respuesta escondida, sin porque
Y fuiste mía
Yo por que, tal vez porque soy lluvia
Que calma tu sed repetida
No es porque cuando mires mis ojos, veas luces divinas
No hubo ilusión, ni fantasía
Y mis ojos descubren , el mismo porque en tu mirada
Y creyéndonos civilizados decimos, nos vemos mañana
Tan seguros que en tanto vació, no cabe otra lagrima
Mil sueños y un porque, porque solo el amor
Da sentido a encontrarnos mañana
Ahora solo nos queda el cansancio, desnudo en la cama
Riéndose de nuestras ganas, y me siento mas solo que ayer
Cuando aun no existías, y en mis ojos descubren tus ojos
Porque esa mentira, pero al credo del civilizado decimos
Tal vez otro día, tan seguros que tanto vació
Acaba la vida
Acaba la vida, y sobre todo acaba mi vida
The lyrics of Francisco Cespedes's song "Tu por que" express a contemplation on love and its purpose. The song is about two people who are trying to understand the reasons why they are together when neither of them has a clear answer. The singer acknowledges that he can't find any reason for his love, yet he still feels drawn to the other person. The first verse contemplates this confusion and the shared history of the two. The second verse focuses more on the singer's personal feelings and his own reasons for loving the other person. The chorus expresses a desire to keep attempting to find meaning in the relationship despite its difficulties, but ultimately the final line of the song suggests that the singer has come to the conclusion that his life will end with the end of the relationship.
The lyricist does a great job of conveying the sense of confusion and uncertainty that can come with love. The singer seems to feel lost and unable to understand why he loves this person, but also unable to let go. The line about feeling more alone than before suggests that the presence of the other person in his life may be causing more emotional turmoil than comfort. The song's use of language is poetic and emotional, and it is clear that the writer put a lot of thought into the lyrics.

Tu por que, la pregunta que siempre
Why you, the question that has always given meaning to life, I find no hidden answers with you, without a reason. And you were mine.
Yo por que, tal vez porque soy lluvia
Why me, perhaps because I'm rain that quenches your repeated thirst. It's not because when you look into my eyes, you see divine lights. There was no illusion or fantasy. And I feel more alone than yesterday when you were nothing, and my eyes discover the same reason in your gaze.
Y creyéndonos civilizados decimos, nos vemos mañana
And believing ourselves civilized, we say 'see you tomorrow.' So confident that in so much emptiness, there's no room for another tear. A thousand dreams and a reason, because only love gives meaning to meeting again tomorrow. Now we're left with exhaustion, naked in bed, laughing at our desires. And I feel more alone than yesterday when you didn't exist yet, and your eyes reveal the same reason in mine. Why this lie? But according to civilized creed, we say maybe another day so confidently that in so much emptiness, life will end. Life will end, and especially my life will end.
