It speaks to the resilience of the people of Bogotá, and how despite all the darkness, there is still hope. The song is a tribute to the struggle of Colombia’s past, and how it is surviving despite its scars. Although the song is melancholic, it still manages to evoke a sense of hope and beauty. It is a sorrowful yet beautiful reminder of Colombia’s past, a reminder that in spite of all the darkness, there is still beauty and hope. It is a powerful representation of the resilience of the people of Bogotá, and of Colombia as a whole. Tuyo is one of the most memorable and beautiful pieces of art featured on the show, and is a great example of the power of music and storytelling. It is a testament to the strength of the people of Colombia, and to the power of music to bring hope in the face of despair.
Tuyo Sound Track / English and Spanish Lyrics:
I am the fire that burns your skin,
Soy el fuego que arde tu piel
I am the water that kills your thirst.
soy el agua que mata tu sed.
Of the castle, I am the tower,
El castillo, la torre yo soy
the sword that guards the treasure.
la espada que guarda el caudal.
You, the air that I breathe,
tu el aire que respiro yo
and the light of the moon on the sea.
y la luz de la luna en el mar.
The throat that longs to be choked
La garganta que ansio mojar
that I’m afraid I’ll drown in love.
que temo ahogar de amor.
And which desires you are going to give me.
y cuales deseos me vas a dar
just to look is treasure enough,
mi tesoro basta con mirarlo,
it will be yours, it will be yours.
tuyo será, y tuyo será.
