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.)

Tu Carcel
Yuri Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te vas amor, si así lo quieres que le voy a hacer
Tu vanidad no te deja entender que en la pobreza se sabe querer

Quiero llorar y me destroza que pienses así y más que ahora me quede sin tí, me duele lo que tu vas a sufrir

(Coro:)
Pero recuerda nadie es perfecto y tu lo verás, Talvez mil cosas mejores tendrás, pero un cariño sincero jamás, Vete olvidando de esto que hoy dejas y que cambiarás por la aventura qu tu ya verás, será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás

Quiero llorar y me destroza... (se repite)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yuri's song "Tu Cárcel" describe a heartbroken lover who is devastated by the fact that their partner is leaving them. The lyrics talk about the fact that sometimes people are blinded by their own vanity and can't see the genuine love they receive from someone who may not have wealth or material possessions. The singer expresses her sadness about her partner's decision to leave her and how it will hurt her deeply. In the chorus, the singer reminds her partner that nobody is perfect, and while they may have other, possibly better things, they can never replace the sincere love they had together. She warns that the decision to leave her for a new adventure may seem exciting at first, but it will ultimately become a prison from which they will never escape.

In the rap section, the singer confronts her partner about their infidelity and attempts to break the relationship for their own gain. She asserts that she will not tolerate such behavior and that staying in the relationship will ultimately be better than the empty promises of a new adventure with someone else. The repetitiveness of the phrase "quiero llorar y me destroza" (I want to cry and it destroys me) emphasizes the depth of the singer's pain and serves to convey the emotional turmoil felt by someone who has been left behind.

Line by Line Meaning

Te vas amor, si así lo quieres que le voy a hacer
You're leaving, my love, and if that's what you want, what else can I do?

Tu vanidad no te deja entender que en la pobreza se sabe querer
Your vanity blinds you to the fact that true love can be found in simplicity and hardship.

Quiero llorar y me destroza que pienses así y más que ahora me quede sin tí, me duele lo que tu vas a sufrir
I want to cry because your thoughts hurt me deeply and now I'm left without you. It hurts me to think about how much you will suffer.

(Coro:) Pero recuerda nadie es perfecto y tu lo verás, Talvez mil cosas mejores tendrás, pero un cariño sincero jamás, Vete olvidando de esto que hoy dejas y que cambiarás por la aventura qu tu ya verás, será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
But remember, nobody is perfect and you'll see that. Maybe you'll have a thousand better things, but you'll never find a sincere love like the one you're leaving behind. Forget about this and the adventure you think you'll have, because it will become your prison that you'll never escape from.

(RAP:) Tu sabes que fallaste, y yo no acepto errores, tus amenazas no me dan miedo, a parte te he cachado de mandarle flores, como me sirve un cariño sincero si tu sabes que yo no fui el primero, quieres sacar provecho de esta relación, en mi cárcel voy a estar mejor
You know you messed up, and I don't accept mistakes. Your threats don't scare me. I even caught you sending flowers to someone else. What good is a sincere love if you know I wasn't the first? You want to benefit from this relationship, but I'll be better off in my own prison.

Quiero llorar y me destroza... (se repite)
I want to cry and it's tearing me apart... (repeated)
