Review

The lyrics weave a stream-of-consciousness celebration of life's simple pleasures—traveling, mornings, cities like Managua—with romantic affection ("me gustas tú"). Manu Chao juxtaposes global vignettes with personal longing, framing desire as one joyful thread in a tapestry of everyday wonders.

The track radiates carefree euphoria through lo-fi acoustics and hypnotic repetition, evoking sun-drenched train journeys where cities blur together. Chao's laid-back delivery makes the world feel intimately small, transforming scattered observations ("Me gustan los aviones") into a universal love letter to curiosity and human connection.

No explicit themes—just pure, infectious optimism. The tone is playfully romantic yet wholly inclusive, blending wanderlust with tenderness in a way that feels both personal and communal.

The video kicks off with a vibrant street kiosk stealing the show—its giant "I ♥ YOU" sign (complete with a hand-drawn red heart) setting the tone for this visual love letter to carefree joy. As Manu Chao’s guitar riff kicks in, the screen erupts into a kaleidoscope of playful chaos: teen models of all backgrounds dance wildly through the streets, their moves as unfiltered as the lyrics’ simple pleasures ("Me gustan los aviones, me gustas tú"). Glitchy, sun-drenched collages flash like psychedelic postcards—an Inca-style yellow sun winks in and out, a matching sun graphic bobs on a red balloon, and a girl splashes in a bathtub, all cut together with DIY charm. Manu himself pops up in goofy outfits (think: a striped pajama top or oversized sunglasses), singing straight to the camera while animated subtitles of the lyrics bounce around him like confetti. The whole thing feels like a punk-rock scrapbook come to life—no filters, no pretenses, just pure, giddy affection for life’s little thrills ("Me gusta la mañana, me gustas tú"). By the end, you’re left grinning, convinced that happiness might just be this simple: a heart on a sign, a sunny day, and someone to share it with.
