SONG MEANING

Me Gustas Tú is a breezy reggae-flavored love chant where Manu Chao, the French-Spanish globetrotter, rattles off a joyful inventory of everything that makes him smile: aviones, la mañana, la guitarra, la lluvia… Yet after each item he circles back to the real star of his list: “me gustas tú” – “I like you.” Between playful radio-style time checks from Havana to Managua, the song paints the picture of a wanderer who relishes travel, flavors, sounds and places, but whose heart keeps tuning to one single frequency.

With its looping structure, the lyric feels like a carefree train of thought: the more he names, the more obvious it becomes that every road, spice and rhythm simply reminds him of this special someone. The repeated question “¿Qué voy a hacer?” – “What am I going to do?” hints at a sweet bewilderment; he is happily lost in love and in motion all at once. The reggae groove underscores that sunny, laid-back vibe, making the song both a catchy vocabulary lesson in me gusta and a celebration of love that follows you wherever you roam.
