Es Tu Canción

“Es Tu Canción” by José Antônio Bordell is a heartfelt ode to love and the simple joys it brings. The song's lyrics convey a deep sense of happiness and fulfillment derived from love, despite the absence of material wealth. The artist emphasizes that true joy comes from emotional connections rather than physical possessions. This sentiment is beautifully encapsulated in the lines, “No tengo dinero y aún siendo así / Yo quiero que vivas cerca de mí,” which translate to “I have no money, and even so / I want you to live close to me.”

The song also highlights the power of creativity and personal expression as a means of conveying love. Bordell admits he is not a sculptor or painter, but he has created something special for his beloved—a song. This creation, though simple, is filled with love and serves as a testament to his feelings. The recurring line, “Y puedes decir a todos, que es tu canción,” meaning “And you can tell everyone, that it’s your song,” underscores the personal and intimate nature of this gift.

Moreover, the song touches on themes of memory and longing. The artist acknowledges that parting will bring suffering, but the memories and the song will endure. The repeated reminder, “Y no te olvides lo que voy a decir / Que bello es el mundo, si tú estás aquí,” which means “And don’t forget what I’m going to say / How beautiful the world is, if you are here,” encapsulates the essence of the song. It’s a poignant reminder of the transformative power of love and the beauty it brings to life.

“Es Tu Canción” is a touching tribute to the simplicity and profundity of love, capturing the essence of emotional richness over material wealth, the significance of personal expression, and the enduring power of memories.
