Tu, Tan Solo Tu

Cacho Castaña's song 'Tu, Tan Solo Tu' is a romantic ode that emphasizes the power of love and imagination. The lyrics revolve around the idea that the presence of a loved one is all that is needed to create a perfect world. The repeated phrase 'y lo demas lo invento yo' (and the rest I invent) highlights the singer's belief that love can fill in the gaps and create a beautiful reality, even if it is imagined. This sentiment is reinforced by the imagery of a 'cielo de cristal' (crystal sky) and a 'velero azul' (blue sailboat), which evoke a sense of idyllic and dreamlike scenarios crafted by the mind's eye.

The song also delves into the intimate connection between the lovers. The lines 'Yo, te besare, bebere un poco de tu paz' (I will kiss you, drink a bit of your peace) and 'Tu, me miraras' (You, will look at me) suggest a deep emotional and physical bond. The act of kissing and the exchange of peaceful energy symbolize the comfort and tranquility found in each other's presence. The lyrics 'mis manos ceda son, que te abrigaran' (my hands are silk, that will cover you) further emphasize the tenderness and care within the relationship.
