Tú Me Acostumbraste
Samba Melodiosa Lyrics

The song "Tu Me Acostumbraste" by Samba Melodiosa is a heartwrenching ballad about a love that has been lost, leaving the singer struggling to cope with the emptiness that they feel without their significant other. The lyrics express the singer's confusion and pain as they come to terms with the fact that they have been taught how to love, how to appreciate life's joys, and how to see the beauty in the world, all by the person they have now lost. The verses are filled with a deep sense of longing and regret, as the singer desperately asks why they were not taught how to live without their lover, now that they are gone.

The opening lines, "Tu me acostumbraste a todas esas cosas, Y tu me enseñaste que son maravillosas" ("You got me accustomed to all those things, And you taught me that they are wonderful"), reveal the singer's dependence on their lover for happiness and fulfillment. They go on to describe the seductive nature of their partner, who arrived in their lives like "la tentación" (temptation), filling their heart with restlessness and unease. Before this love, the singer was unable to comprehend how to truly love someone, but through this person's unique world, they learned how to love and appreciate life in a way they never knew was possible.

However, the chorus shows how the singer is now lost without their lover, as they plead, "Por qué no me enseñaste cómo se vive sin ti?" ("Why did you not teach me how to live without you?"). The pain and anguish in the singer's voice is palpable as they lament that they cannot fathom how to survive without the person who has taught them everything about living and loving in this world.

Overall, "Tu Me Acostumbraste" is a poignant and heartrending song that captures the pain of losing a love that has become an integral part of one's life, and the struggle to come to terms with how to go on living after such a loss.
