alla tu
Myriam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Allá tú
Si no sabes querer
Como se quiere,
Si no se entrega
Tu alma vacía
A mi pasión.

Allá tú
Si no has sabido aprovechar
Lo que quise darte,
Allá tú
Si por indeciso
Ya se te hizo tarde.

Tanto temor al decir
De las gentes ajenas
A nuestro vivir,
Tanto querer evitar
Los momentos de pena
Para no sufrir.

Por eso...
Allá tú
Si decidiste irte
Para siempre,
Si te negaste
A tan sólo un momento
De reflexión.

Allá tú
Si en tu vida no hay riesgo
Que cambie tu suerte,
Allá tú
Pues por no estar conmigo
Tú te lo pierdes.

Allá tú
Si no has sabido aprovechar
Lo que quise darte,
Allá tú
Si por indeciso
Ya se te hizo tarde.

Tanto temor al decir
De las gentes ajenas
A nuestro vivir,
Tanto querer evitar
Los momentos de pena
Para no sufrir.

Por eso...
Allá tú
Si decidiste irte
Para siempre,
Si te negaste
A tan sólo un momento
De reflexión.

Allá tú
Si en tu vida no hay riesgo
Que cambie tu suerte,
Allá tú
Pues por no estar conmigo
Tú te lo pierdes.





Tú, tú te lo pierdes.

Overall Meaning

The song "Alla Tu" by Myriam is a passionate plea towards a lover who has hesitated and failed to love deeply. The lyrics reflect the singer's frustration at their partner's inability to fully commit to the relationship with a vulnerable and open heart. The phrase "Alla tú" (meaning "It's up to you" in Spanish) is used repeatedly throughout the song and acts as a symbol of ultimate responsibility, as the singer is willing to give everything to the relationship, but the final decision is left to the partner.


The lyrics also touch upon the fear of society's judgment and the desire to avoid pain, as the partner is reluctant to take risks and face the consequences of being in a committed relationship. The singer urges the partner to reconsider their decision to leave, to take a moment to reflect, and to realize the potential that has been lost by not being fully present and invested in the relationship. The song ends on a haunting note, as the singer states, "Tú te lo pierdes" ("You miss out on it"), symbolically closing the door on the possibility of love once and for all.


Overall, "Alla Tu" is a powerful ballad that laments the missed opportunities and potential in a relationship, urging the listener to embrace vulnerability and fully engage with the experience of love.
