At a very young age, Yuri showed artistic interest and she was accepted to a famous Russian ballet. However, she wasn't allowed to join because her parents were afraid of the prospect of little Yuri living in a foreign country.

When Yuri was 12, she participated in two famous Mexican television children's shows for Televisa, including the Cepillin show.

In the late 1970s, she released her first album and represented Mexico in the Festival Oti, reaching second place and winning an award as the best newcomer to the contest. In 1980, she was signed to a contract by Gamma Records, and her career took off, becoming widely known in Spain, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Argentina, and many other hispanic countries. But before she gained international superstar status, in 1982, she participated again in the Festival OTI, earning a fourth place.

During the rest of the 1980s, Yuri's albums often reached the top, earning her over 100 gold albums in Mexico. One of Yuri's most memorable hits of the late 1980s is the disco-styled "Que Te Pasa."

In 1994, Yuri and Chayanne were the stars of the Volver a Empezar telenovela, and in 1995, she married a Chilean musician. Later, she became a born-again Christian and has made Christian albums. Although there was some controversy as she decided to sing non Christian music again.

In 2005, she was chosen to host the new TV season of a talent contest for newcoming singers, Objetivo Fama that began in 2004.

Yuri was a judge on the second season of Cantando Por un Sueño. She also was a judge during its first season and performed several times on the show.

In 2006, Yuri released an album with a Mexican singer, Mijares, called Acompañame. Its title track, Acompañame, is a sentimental romantic ballad.

Many call Yuri "La Madonna Mexicana," i.e. "The Mexican Madonna" (although this characterization has also been applied to Gloria Trevi.)

Cuando Baja La Marea
Yuri Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aire, en esta lenta tarde de verano
Tu recuerdo es una foto gris
Que las horas van difuminando
Que difícil dibujar tus rasgos
Medio día después de partir (vámonos)

Aire, si tus ojos eran higos negros
Si los dientes gajos de limón

No recuerdo el arco de tus cejas
Ni siquiera puedo hablar a penas
De otra cosa que no sea tu olor (vámonos)

La mente cuando baja la marea
Por puro instinto de conservación
Intenta cauterizar cada huella
Que deja atrás el paso del amor
La mente cuando baja la marea
Mostrando la estructura del dolor
Activa un mecanismo de defensa
Para que no se ahogue el corazón

Ellos, con tu perfecto perfil tan hebreo
Desaliñado, lleno de proyectos
Hombros cargados y zapatos viejos (vámonos)

La mente cuando baja la marea
Por puro instinto de conservación
Intenta cauterizar cada huella
Que deja atrás el paso del amor
(La mente cuando baja la marea)
(Mostrando la estructura del dolor)
(Activa un mecanismo de defensa)
Para que no se ahogue el corazón

La mente cuando baja la marea
Por puro instinto de conservación
Intenta cauterizar cada huella
Que deja atrás el paso del amor
La mente cuando baja la marea
Mostrando la estructura del dolor

Activa un mecanismo de defensa
Para que no se ahogue el corazón

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yuri's song "Cuando Baja La Marea" describe the experience of trying to remember the details of a past lover as time passes. The opening lines set a melancholic tone, comparing the memory of the lover to a "gray photo" that slowly fades with time. The difficulties of trying to remember specific details of the lover are highlighted in the second verse, with the singer struggling to recall even the shape of their eyebrows or their voice. The song then takes a turn towards the psychological, exploring how the mind tries to "cauterize" or erase painful memories in order to protect itself. This is achieved through a "mechanism of defense" that prevents the heart from drowning in the pain left behind by the lover.

The lyrics reveal a sense of nostalgia and longing, as the singer attempts to hold on to the memory of the past relationship even as time and distance make it harder to do so. The final lines suggest a sense of acceptance, as the singer acknowledges the necessity of the mind's defenses but also the pain that comes with their activation.
