En Tu Cumpleaños

Fernando Delgadillo's song 'En Tu Cumpleaños' is a tender and imaginative ode to a loved one on their birthday. The lyrics are a poetic enumeration of gifts that the singer might offer, ranging from the tangible and whimsical to the deeply personal and symbolic. Delgadillo, known for his folk and trova music style, often weaves intricate stories and emotions into his songs, and this one is no exception. The gifts mentioned are not just material but also represent the singer's feelings and the depth of his affection.

The song's lyrics suggest a celebration of the person's life and the joy they bring to the world. The mention of 'media tonelada de flores' (half a ton of flowers) and 'veinte poemas de amor' (twenty love poems) indicates a grand gesture of love, while 'un trozo de carbón' (a piece of coal) that will become a diamond and 'un diente de tiburón' (a shark's tooth) add a touch of humor and uniqueness to the list of potential gifts. The inclusion of personal items like 'mi bolsa de canicas, mi infancia' (my bag of marbles, my childhood) and 'mis manos llenas de caricia' (my hands full of caress) wrapped as a present, shows a willingness to share his very essence and past with the birthday person.

The song concludes with a heartfelt admission that the singer is ready to give everything he has and is to the person he loves, with the promise of figuring out together what comes next. This sentiment reflects a deep commitment and a shared future. The repeated line 'algo se nos ocurrirá' (something will occur to us) reinforces the idea of partnership and the belief that together, they can come up with new dreams and adventures. 'En Tu Cumpleaños' is not just a birthday song; it's a celebration of love, life, and the hope that comes with sharing both with someone special.
