Verse 1
I give you my waist
And my lips for when you want to kiss
I give you my madness
And the few neurons that remain now
My faded shoes
The diary in which I write
I give you even my sighs
But don't go anymore
Chorus 1
Because you are my sun
The faith with which I live
The power of my voice
The feet with which I walk
It's you love
My desire to laugh
The goodbye that I won't know how to say
Because I'll never be able to live without you
Verse 2
If one day you decided
To distance yourself from here again
I would close every door
So that you could never leave
I give you my silences
I give you my nose
I give you even my bones
But stay here
Chorus 2
Because you are my sun
The faith with which I live
The power of my voice
The feet with which I walk
It's you love
My desire to laugh
The goodbye that I won't know how to say
Because I'll never be able to live
Without you

SONG MEANING

Imagine being so deeply in love that you would hand over every quirky, beautiful piece of yourself—from your worn-out shoes to the very air in your lungs. In “Tú,” Colombian pop star Shakira turns that feeling into a heartfelt confession, offering her cintura, her laughter, and even her “pocas neuronas” to the one who lights up her world. Over gentle guitar-driven pop, she paints love as the force that powers her faith, her voice, and her steps; without it, she simply can’t exist.

The song is a joyful surrender rather than a sad sacrifice. Shakira stacks playful yet powerful images—diaries, silences, and even her nose—into a poetic promise: stay, because you are my sun. Each line celebrates the idea that true love isn’t about grand gestures, but about giving the everyday treasures that make you uniquely you. “Tú” is both a sweet serenade and a reminder that real devotion is fearless, generous, and full of life.
