ás aqui conmigo
Y yo no sé si eres realidad
O un sueño
Te miro y te miro
Y no puedo creer que eres mía
Solo mía

Ketama's song "Tu Pelo Negro" is a love song that expresses a feeling of wonder and disbelief at the sight of the loved one. The singer admits to being unsure whether the person they are with is real or a dream, and expresses the overwhelming joy and possessiveness they feel at the thought of having this person all to themselves.

The lyrics paint a picture of someone completely enamored with their lover's physical appearance, specifically their black hair. The singer can't stop staring at them, and feels lucky to have them in their life. There is a sense of intense happiness and gratitude in these lyrics, as if the singer has found something they never thought was possible.

Overall, "Tu Pelo Negro" is a testament to the power of love to make everything else in the world fade away, leaving only the beauty of the loved one to focus on.
