Tu Forma de Ser

The song 'Tu Forma de Ser' by Alberto Y Gilberto captures the essence of being captivated by someone's unique and perhaps flawed personality. The lyrics describe a scene where the singer observes someone entering a bar in a less than graceful manner, causing a scene and even some destruction. Despite this seemingly negative introduction, the singer is inexplicably drawn to this person's way of being.

The chorus of the song emphasizes how the singer is driven crazy by the person's selfishness and loneliness, which are described as 'stars in the night of mediocrity' and 'jewels on the ship of mediocrity.' These metaphors suggest that the individual's distinct traits shine brightly against a backdrop of ordinariness, making them stand out and become desirable in the eyes of the singer. The song explores the idea that what might be seen as imperfections or negative qualities by some can be the very things that others find most attractive and intriguing.

The narrative of the song also touches on the complexity of human relationships and attraction. The singer's attempt to kiss the person leads to a slap and tears, adding to the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the interaction. This erratic behavior doesn't deter the singer's fascination; instead, it seems to fuel it. 'Tu Forma de Ser' is a celebration of individuality and the mysterious ways in which we can become enamored with people who are starkly different from the norm.
