Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi negra sabrosa, mi chica preciosa
Nublas mis ojos con tu caminar...
Tú eres.la de la pollera corta la de lo' ojo pintados, la de la boquita roja...
Tú eres mi mami chula, la mujer de mis sueños
Con tu baile sabroso que me tiene atrapado.
Con tu baile sabroso que me tiene enamorado.
(Sabor, sabor, saborr!!)
Mi mami mueve su boom bomm muy despacito pa abajo. muy suaveciiiito.
Y se menea pa arriba. y se menea pa arriiba! mi mami es la sabrosura pero que rico!!
(Cumbia, cumbia, cumbia. con el sabor de cali para bailar hasta el lunes)
Tú eres...
Mi negra sabrosa, mi chica preciosa
Nublas mis ojos con tu caminar...
Tú eres.la de la pollera corta la de lo' ojo pintados, la de la boquita roja...
Tú eres mi mami chula, la mujer de mis sueños
Con tu baile sabroso que me tiene atrapado.
Tu eres mi mami chula, la mujer de mis sueños
Con tu baile sabroso que me tiene enamorado.
Esto es cali...
Esto es cali cali calidad x2.
The lyrics of Grupo Cali's song Tu Eres express the singer's admiration and love for a woman who he describes in different ways throughout the song. The repeated phrase "Tú eres" means "you are", and it is followed by a series of complimentary descriptions that highlight the physical and sensual qualities of this woman. She is described as "mi negra sabrosa" ("my tasty black girl"), "la de la pollera corta la de lo' ojo pintados, la de la boquita roja" ("the one in the short skirt with painted eyes and red lips"), and "mi mami chula" ("my pretty mommy"), among other things.
The singer is clearly enchanted by the woman's dance moves, which he describes as "baile sabroso" ("tasty dance"), and her ability to captivate him completely. He repeats the line "me tiene atrapado" ("has me trapped") to express how much he is under her spell. The song is full of playful and flirtatious language, expressing the singer's desire to dance and be close to this woman.
Overall, "Tu Eres" is a celebratory ode to the beauty of women and the joy of dancing, infused with the lively rhythms and energy of Cali, Colombia, the city where Grupo Cali originated.
