The talented artist decided to stay in Mexico while visiting the country along with the Cuban Modern Music Orquestra. In 1992, Luis Miguel recorded his songs "Pensar En Ti," featured on his album Aries, and "Que Tu Te Vas," on Nada Es Igual, which were good enough to captivate the attention of Warner Music. In 1997, Francisco Céspedes participated in Viña del Mar Festival, representing Mexico with "Hablo de Ti" and issuing his debut album, Vida Loca, that same year. In 1998, the singer and composer joined Presuntos Implicados, recording "Nadie Como Tú." Later, Céspedes made Donde Esta La Vida, recorded in Mexico and the U.S., produced by Juan Carlos Paz y Puente. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Francisco Céspedes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dicen que bailas en las noches
Dicen que tienes los colores del amor
Dicen eres la fantasia
Dicen que yo busco tu boca cuando ries
Y no nos separemos cuando miren
Tanto amor

Dicen que miras primaveras

Dicen que acaba mi nostalgia con tu voz
Dicen que te envidian las flores como al sol
Dicen que puedes darme todo lo que existe
O por lo menos todo lo que dices
Que es casi, casi lo que sueño yo
Y dicen que eres tu

Mi gran amor
Dicen

Overall Meaning

that you dance in the nights
They say that you have the colors of love
They say you are the fantasy
They say that I look for your mouth when you laugh
And let's not be separated when they watch
So much love

They say that you see springs
They say that my nostalgia ends with your voice
They say that the flowers envy you like the sun
They say that you can give me everything that exists
Or at least everything you say
That is almost, almost what I dream of
And they say that it's you
My great love
