Vives Tú Y Vivo Yo Lyrics in English by Alex Campos
Cautiva means 'captivates' or 'enslaves'. It's a strong verb that goes beyond simply 'liking' something, implying a powerful, almost irresistible pull.
In this song, the lyrics state, "Me cautiva la razón" (Reason captivates me). This suggests that the singer is so deeply moved by a gaze or presence that it completely takes over their rational thought, making it a very evocative and memorable word.
This song, "Vives Tú Y Vivo Yo" by Alex Campos, is a beautiful expression of deep spiritual devotion. It feels like a conversation with a divine presence, where the singer is completely captivated. He talks about how a single glance has stayed in his mind, saying "Que me ha hecho tu mirada, Se ha quedado aquí en mi mente" [What your gaze has done to me, It has stayed here in my mind].
The lyrics describe a journey from feeling lost and confused to finding forgiveness and love. He remembers a voice that penetrates his body and soul, and he finds pardon in it: "Tu voz que penetra, En mi cuerpo, en mi alma, No olvido en ti encuentro perdón" [Your voice that penetrates, In my body, in my soul, I don't forget, in you I find forgiveness]. The song also touches on the idea of resurrection, mentioning that this love "no murió, con poder se levantó" [didn't die, with power it rose up], which points to a Christian theme of Christ's resurrection. Ultimately, it's a heartfelt declaration of love and adoration, repeating "Te amo a ti, te amo a ti, Tan sólo a ti" [I love you, I love you, Only you].
