Sólo Tú señor

The song 'Sólo Tú señor' by Gen Verde is a profound expression of faith and reliance on divine guidance, deeply rooted in Christian beliefs. The lyrics portray the Lord as a shepherd, a metaphor derived from Psalm 23 of the Bible, which is a common image in Christian theology symbolizing care, guidance, and protection. The repeated line, 'Mi pastor Señor eres Tú,' which translates to 'My shepherd, Lord, is You,' emphasizes the singer's total dependence on God for all needs and desires.

The song describes a journey led by this divine shepherd through 'verdes alturas' (green heights) and 'fuentes tranquilas' (tranquil fountains), which symbolize peaceful and nourishing places in life. This journey also includes darker moments, as mentioned in 'Si entre las tinieblas voy' (If I go among the shadows), suggesting life's inevitable challenges and fears. However, the presence of the shepherd ensures that even in the darkest times, there is a 'camino seguro' (safe path) and no need to fear harm.

The latter part of the song shifts to a scene of a banquet, where a table is prepared and a cup overflows, illustrating abundance and blessings received from God. This imagery not only reinforces the theme of divine provision but also the joy and gratitude that accompany the singer's faith. The assurance of eternal residence 'En tu morada yo habitaré' (In your dwelling, I will live) culminates the song with a promise of everlasting peace and happiness, reflecting a deep-seated hope and trust in the divine.
