Tú y Ella
José María Napoleón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ella tiene una profunda mirada,
Tu eres la cresta de la ola,
Y ella es el mar sereno de la playa
Tú tienes un cuerpo que impresiona,
Ella tiene una figura que me encanta,
Tú eres la boca que se antoja
Ella es la compañera de mi vida,
Mi paz, mi amor, mi fuerza y mi mañana,
Tu pretendes tan solo la aventura
Que empieza y que termina en una cama...
Y no mujer, yo no soy esos
Aunque sea carne y hueso
Mi alma es una nomás
Y mi alma es de ella
Ya ni hablar de mi cuerpo.
Son de ella todo entero para siempre jamás.
Tú quieres, de mí solo momento,
Ella espera por mi de madrugada
Tu eres tan solo una hoja al viento
Ella es, el tronco de mis ramas
Ella es la compañera de mi vida,
Mi paz, mi amor, mi fuerza y mi mañana,
Tu pretendes tan solo la aventura
Que empieza y que termina en una cama...
Y no mujer, yo no soy esos
Aunque sea carne y hueso
Mi alma es una nomás
Y mi alma es de ella
Y ya ni hablar de mi cuerpo.
Son de ella todo entero para siempre jamás...
The song Tú y Ella, sung by José María Napoleón, tells a story of a man who is torn between two women. In the lyrics, he describes the qualities he finds attractive in both women. He tells one woman that she has beautiful eyes and an impressive body while the other has a deep gaze and a figure that he adores. He compares one woman to the crest of a wave and the other to the calm sea of the shore. Although he finds both women attractive, he ultimately chooses the one who is his companion for life, his peace, love, strength, and tomorrow. He admits that his body and soul belong to her forever and that he cannot offer the other woman just momentary pleasure that will begin and end in a bed.
The lyrics reflect the common struggle many people experience when it comes to choosing between the physical attraction and the deeper emotional connection with someone. The man in the song is aware of the difference and chooses to follow his heart and soul instead of just his desires. The lyrics' message is about the importance of finding someone who you can build a deep connection with and how that connection can ground and strengthen you.
