Sergio Vega "El Shaka" Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque ya no puedo más, retenerte así a mi lado
Si no eres feliz, es mejor dejarte ir
En la busca de un amor que alimente los latidos
De tu corazón
Porque yo, solo te cause dolor
Aunque no fue mi intención
No tengo perdón, mientras yo te hice sufrir
Tú me amabas de verdad
Hoy me he dado cuenta
Y no quiero que llores más
Porque tú
Te mereces algo más que mis ego
Te mereces alzar el vuelo
Con quien tú decidas
Y no recordar que
Sufriste tanto por estar a mi lado
Y solo con traición te he pagado
No hay razón ni lógica
Para dejar que tu vida
Destruyas por mí
Porque tú
Porque yo, no te supe dar amor
No te supe dar calor
Cuando tú tenías frío
Yo andava en el sol
Mientras yo te hice sufrir
Tú me amabas de verdad
Hoy me he dado cuenta
Y no quiero que llores más
Porque tú
Te mereces algo más que mis egos
Te mereces alzar el vuelo
Con quien tú decidas
Y no recordar que
Sufriste tanto por estar a mi lado
Y solo con traición te he pagado
No hay razón ni lógica
Para dejar que tu vida
Destruyas por mí
Porque tú
Te mereces algo más que mis celos
Te mereces alzar el vuelo
Con quien tú decidas
Y no recordar que
Sufriste tanto por estar a mi lado
Y solo con traición te he pagado
No hay razón ni lógica
Para dejar que tu vida
Destruyas por mí
Porque tú
Te mereces lo mejor
In "Tu", Sergio Vega "El Shaka" sings about giving his girlfriend her freedom because he realizes he has caused her pain and suffering. He acknowledges that he cannot keep her by his side if she isn't happy and in search of love that will nourish her heart. Though he didn't mean to hurt her, he is aware that he caused her much pain and that he doesn't deserve forgiveness. The singer admits that his girlfriend loved him truly but that he wasn't able to reciprocate the love and warmth that she needed. He tells her that she deserves to fly and choose someone who will treat her right and that he doesn't want her to cry anymore. The singer concludes that his girlfriend deserves the best.
This song is a tribute to Sergio Vega's late girlfriend who died in a car accident right after they had broken up. It was the last song he wrote for her and was never officially released until after his own death in 2010. The lyrics of the song were found in his personal possessions after his death.
"Tu" was written in the Banda genre of music, which originated in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Banda music is a blend of traditional Mexican music and German/Austrian dance music.
Banda music is typically played by a large brass section, drums, and a vocalist. The genre is famous for its upbeat and energetic nature.
Sergio Vega was one of the most prominent artists in the Banda genre, known for his unique deep voice and raw talent.
"Tu" was included in Vega's album "Vida Mafiosa" which was a huge commercial success, and is considered one of the most influential Banda albums in the modern era.
Sergio Vega's nickname was "El Shaka," which means "The Shakira" due to his similarity in voice and talent to the famous Colombian singer Shakira.
The music video for "Tu" was released posthumously and features scenes of Vega performing alongside footage of his girlfriend.
The lyrics of "Tu" are relatable to anyone who has been in a toxic relationship where they were not appreciated or loved the way they deserved to be.
"Tu" has become an anthem of sorts for those seeking freedom from toxic relationships and finding the strength to move on, taking control of their lives and choosing their own path.

Lamentablemente cuando te sientes perdido y has dedicado esta canción y te das cuenta que todo está perdido y sabes que eres el culpable de todo entiendes letra por letra lo que expresa la melodía y sabes que es tarde te quiebras y mandas todo al infierno y sabes que ni dios te salvará por sentirte culpable de tanto daño🥺
