Their most known song is "Eres Tu", which became second at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1973 (Luxembourg). Final Position: 2 - Total Points: 125. Eres Tu was accused of plagiarism. It was suggested by critics that the song was merely a copy of the Yugoslav entry of 1966, Brez Besed performed by Berta Ambroz. The Spanish entry was not sanctioned though and became a huge hit internationally - it even outsold the winner Tu Te Reconnaitras by Anne-Marie David.
Colores
Mocedades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cada día, cada sol
cada día, cada sol
mi color, tu color
nuestro color.
Yellow is the color of my true love's hair
in the morning when we rise
that's the time
that's the time I love the best.
Verde es el trigo del amanecer
en el valle de tu piel
en el hueco de mi voz
mi color, tu color
nuestro color.
Mellow is the feeling that I get
when I see her, mmm, hmmm
when I see her, mmm, hmmm
that's the time
that's the time I love the best.
Libre es el color de la verdad
cuando pienso que no tengo que pensar
cuando sé que vivo por casualidad
mi color, tu color
color verdad.
Triste es el color del huracán
cuando suena si te vas
cuando suena si me voy
mi color, tu color
nuestro color.
Blanco es el aire entre tú y yo
cada día, cada sol.
The lyrics to Mocedades's song Colores describe different colors and connect them to various emotions and experiences. In the first stanza, the color white represents the space between two people in a relationship. Each day and every sun brings a new opportunity to connect and blend their colors together. The second stanza introduces the color yellow, which signifies the love between two people as they wake up in the morning. The lyrics evoke a feeling of warmth and tenderness, as if the singer is experiencing a pure and innocent love.
The third stanza shifts to the color green, which represents the beauty of nature and the connection between two lovers. The wheat in the fields represents the growth of their love and the valley of skin signifies the intimacy between them. In the fourth stanza, the color blue is used to convey a sense of freedom and truth. The singer feels liberated from the burden of having to constantly think and knows that they live by chance.
The fifth stanza is the only one that uses a negative connotation for a color. The color grey represents the sadness and despair of a hurricane. This symbolizes the pain and heartbreak caused when one of the lovers leaves. The ending of the song brings us back to the color white, representing the space between the two lovers. The color white also represents new beginnings and endless opportunities to mix their colors together.
