Tu Lyrics in English Mecano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu by Mecano from Spanish to English.
Tú, sin mas porque
You, just because
Tú, que bésame
You, who kiss me
Tú, me tienes de furriel
You, have me as your quartermaster
De un roto de Tú piel
from a tear in your skin
Tú, como la cal
You, like lime
Que húmeda es mortal
which when wet is deadly
Tú, blanqueas mi razón
You, whiten my reason
Calando hasta el colchón
soaking through to the mattress
Tú
You
Tú, montada en mi
You, mounted on me
Yo, montúra hostil
I, a hostile mount
Tú, me abrazas con los pies
You, embrace me with your feet
Y yo lamo el arnés
and I lick the harness
Tú, y sin ti yo no
You, and without you I don't
Tú, y sin ti ya no
You, and without you not anymore
Tú, me has hecho dimitir
You've made me resign
Y hoy se dice así
and today it's said like this
Tú
You

furriel — quartermaster / orderly
Furriel is a fascinating and somewhat archaic word that literally means 'quartermaster' or 'orderly' in a military context. It refers to someone who manages provisions, lodging, or serves as an assistant.
In this song, the lyric "Tú, me tienes de furriel" (You have me as your orderly) is a poetic and unique way of expressing complete devotion and subservience. The singer is saying that the object of their affection has them completely at their beck and call, managing their every need, much like a military orderly. This unusual usage makes it very memorable and intriguing.
