De Oro is Juanes’s sparkling love declaration that compares his beloved to treasures of the sun. Over a playful olo-le-lo-lai chant, the Colombian singer paints vivid images: skin the color of wheat, eyes that hold sunlight, hair that shimmers like gold. Every line shows how deeply he is infatuated. He spends his days thinking and his nights dreaming, weaving fantasies in her hair and planting flowers in her breath. The chorus repeats one simple message—te quiero de oro—I love you like gold.
At its heart, the song celebrates a love so bright that it turns ordinary moments into priceless memories. The rhythmic refrain invites listeners to dance while the lyrics reveal tenderness and devotion. Juanes blends folk‐style vocal riffs with Caribbean percussion, creating a warm, upbeat atmosphere that mirrors the glow of the “golden” woman he adores. Listen closely and you will feel the sunshine of Medellín pouring straight into your ears.
