Tu Perro

Andrés Lewin's song 'Tu Perro' is a poignant exploration of unconditional love and loyalty, expressed through the metaphor of a dog’s unwavering devotion to its owner. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one person is entirely dedicated to the other, willing to follow them anywhere and be whatever they need. This dynamic is beautifully illustrated in the lines, 'yo que soy lo que tu quieras y a donde me digas voy,' which translates to 'I am what you want me to be, and I go where you tell me to go.'

The song delves into the emotional landscape of this relationship, highlighting the speaker's readiness to be there for the other person at all times. The imagery of the speaker lying on the beach, feeling fortunate to have the other person asleep between their legs, underscores a deep sense of contentment and gratitude. This is further emphasized by the repeated assertion, 'soy tu perro y no me voy,' meaning 'I am your dog and I won't leave.' This line encapsulates the essence of the song: a promise of steadfast companionship and love.

Lewin also touches on the pain that can accompany such devotion. The metaphor of the dog asking the tide if it is also a 'perra,' or female dog, who comes and goes to be loved by the moon, suggests a sense of longing and the transient nature of affection. Despite this, the speaker remains committed, ready to chase away loneliness and be a constant presence in the other person's life. The song's emotional depth is further enriched by its gentle melody and Lewin's heartfelt delivery, making 'Tu Perro' a touching ode to loyalty and love.
