Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career.

Joan Sebastian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuimos chupa-rosas de flor en flor
Ahora nos cobija el mismo nidal
Porque yo soy sed y tú manantial.
Cómo no bendeciré ese día que te encontré
Mi guitarra que cantó de soledad hoy canta de felicidad
Cómo no te voy a amar si trajiste a mi lugar
Tú, yo, tú y yo dos locos que en el amor
Fuimos mal-gastando nuestro calor
Ahora nos consume el mismo fogón
Porque tú eres fuego y yo soy carbón.
Cómo no bendeciré ese día que te encontré
Mi guitarra que cantó de soledad hoy canta de felicidad
Cómo no te voy a amar si trajiste a mi lugar
Horizontes de ilusión y además tiernos motivos de llorar.
The lyrics to Joan Sebastian's song "Tu Y Yo" are a celebration of love and a reflection on how the two lovers came to be together. The first verse describes the lovers as "dos locos," two crazy people who were once like "chupa-rosas de flor en flor," sucking the nectar from one flower to the next in their search for love. But now they have found each other and are "cobija[do]" in the same nest, with the singer as the "sed" (thirst) and the lover as the "manantial" (spring).
The second verse reflects on the joys that the lover has brought to the singer's life since they met. The singer sings "Cómo no bendeciré ese día que te encontré" -- how could I not bless the day I met you? The singer compares the sadness that once consumed them to the happiness they now feel, with their guitar that once sang of solitude now singing of joy. The lover has brought the singer "horizontes de ilusión" -- horizons of hope -- and "tiernos motivos de llorar" -- tender reasons to cry.
The chorus repeats the refrain that the lovers are "two crazy people" who once wasted their passions but now share the same fire. The final verse repeats the joy that the lover has brought to the singer's life, and the song ends with a final plea of love towards the lover.
Overall, "Tu Y Yo" is a triumphant celebration of love, reflecting on the joy and hope that love can bring even amidst past pain and passion.
