Review

Ricardo Arjona Fuiste tú meaning and lyrics explained

Fuiste tú - "It was you" is a song by the Guatemalan singer Ricardo Arjona and the also Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno. The song was released in 2012 yet it is among the most popular songs by Ricardo Arjona.

Fuiste tú is a song about who is to blame when a relationship doesn’t work out and both throw the guilt on each other. Fuiste tú starts with a fast-paced rhythm but just before the lyrics start the song changes drastically to a slow ballad and beautiful singing.

The lyrics are sung in fragments by both singers, who give the impression of being talking, saying beautiful things about their relationship but how the bad things ruined everything. The girl says that being with him was like just seeing a picture of him on her pursuit because he was absent most of the time and he responds by saying that she tried to change him, and he was always struggling with being who he was and who she wanted him to be. In the end, they just split in different paths not angry with one another, but just sad and melancholic.

In terms of learning, Fuiste tú by Ricardo Arjona and Gaby Moreno is an easy song to practice your Spanish, there are just a few complicated words and verbs and although the song looks fast at first in reality it is a slow ballad with clear and loud singing that it isn’t complicated to understand. Fuiste tú is recommended for those with a basic Spanish level who want to practice their pronunciation and some easy verbs.
