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.
Dieron Las Doce
Mocedades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con la alborada yo le dejé
Dieron las doce en su mirada
Con la alborada yo le dejé
El abrazado a su melodía yo a mi silencio pensando en él.
El abrazado a su melodía yo a mi silencio pensando en él.
Era tan grande como su orgullo
Pero pequeño, tierno a la vez.
Yo le temía por su grandeza
Pero adoraba su pequeñez.
Yo le temía por su grandeza
Pero adoraba su pequeñez.
Ese poeta sentado al piano cuerpo encorvado, entré y lo ví
Dice llamarse Ludwing Van Beethoven, dejadlo el solo quiere escribir.
Dice llamarse Ludwing Van Beethoven, dejadlo el solo quiere escribir.
Dieron las doce en su mirada
Dieron las doce en su mirada
Dieron las doce en su mirada
Dieron las doce en su mirada
Dieron las doce en su mirada
Dieron las doce en su mirada
The first verse of Mocedades's song, "Dieron Las Doce," could be translated to "Twelve o'clock came in his gaze, and with the dawn, I left him." These lines describe the moment in which the singer realizes that it is time to end a relationship. The phrase "dieron las doce," or "twelve o'clock came," implies a sense of finality and closure, as if a deadline has been reached. The decision to leave is clear, but there is still attachment to the other person, as evidenced by the phrases "his gaze" and "thinking of him."
The second verse of the song further explores the singer's conflicted emotions. They mention being "embraced by his melody," possibly referring to a sense of comfort and familiarity with the person they are leaving, but at the same time, they are "thinking of him" in their silence. The next few lines describe the person they are leaving as both "great," perhaps in terms of success or confidence, but also "small" and "tender." This suggests that the singer had mixed feelings about their partner, admiring their strengths but also aware of their flaws.
The final verse takes an unexpected turn when the singer introduces the character of Ludwig van Beethoven, a well-known composer and pianist. The lines "He says his name is Ludwig van Beethoven, leave him alone, he just wants to write" suggest that the singer has encountered Beethoven in a moment of solitude and creativity. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's desire to pursue their own individual projects apart from their relationship, or it could simply be a playful reference to the idea of artistic inspiration striking at all hours of the day.

Muchísimas gracias por subir este tema basado en el segundo movimiento de la Séptima Sinfonía de Beethoven. Es necesario aclarar que la adaptación y la letra son obra del extraordinario músico Juan Carlos Calderón.

¡ EL INCIDENTE QUE SE REFIERE DEMUESTRA A LAS CLARAS QUE CADA UNO DE NOSOTROS PUEDE SER UN BEETHOVEN !!
¡ ZITARROSA DICE EN SU ADAGIO: " DICE MI PADRE QUE PUEDE LEER EN SU MANO DE OBRERO EL DESTINO Y QUE NO HAY ADIVINO NI REY, QUE LE PUEDA MARCAR EL CAMINO QUE VA A RECORRER " !!
¡ BEETHOVEN ES MI GRAN ADMIRADO Y LA ÚNICA IMAGEN HUMANA QUE ME ACOMPAÑA EN EL CUARTO !!
¡ EL SEGUNDO MOVIMIENTO ES UNA MARCHA FÚNEBRE !!
