The singer repeatedly calls out to Marilu, expressing a longing for her presence and reminiscing about the moment they met and fell in love. This song captures the essence of young love and the intense emotions that come with it.
The repetition of Marilu's name throughout the song emphasizes the singer's obsession and constant thoughts about her. The lyrics 'Todo el día Marilú, pienso en ti' (All day, Marilu, I think of you) highlight the all-consuming nature of his feelings. The singer's life seems to have been transformed by Marilu's love, as he mentions that he didn't know where to go before meeting her, but now he is willing to go anywhere with her.
