Verse 1
I know that sometimes I'm hard to understand
That I can hurt you without meaning to
You know well, without meaning to
I, who have tried so hard to protect you
I want to be the hero of your dreams
And I don't know if I'm alright
Chorus 1
But I know that I love you
I only want to give back a little
Of what you have given me
Chorus 1
You, with your tenderness and your light
You illuminated my heart
The one who gives me life is you
There's nobody else, only you
That can give me inspiration
Just by listening to your voice
Verse 2
Yes, it's with you that I can walk
Also with whom I like to wake up
Stay one more time
Chorus 2
Because I know that I love you
I only want to give back a little
Of what you have given me
Chorus 2
You, with your tenderness and your light
You illuminated my heart
The one who gives me life is you
There's nobody else, only you
That can give me inspiration
Just by listening to your voice
Bridge
That the strength returns to my body
To love the way you have taught me
Chorus 3
Only you
With your tenderness and your light
Chorus 3
You illuminated my heart
The one who gives me life is you
There's nobody else, only you
That can give me inspiration
Just by listening to your voice

SONG MEANING

“Solo Tú” is Carlos Rivera’s tender love letter to the person who brightens his world. Over a warm, romantic melody, the Mexican singer admits he can be “difícil de entender” and might hurt his partner without meaning to. Still, every line pulses with his determination to protect, cherish, and repay the boundless affection he has received. Rivera paints himself as both flawed and devoted, a would-be hero who finds real strength only when guided by his lover’s light.

The chorus glows with gratitude: tú—and only you—illuminate his heart, inspire his dreams, and return the very “fuerza” that lets him love so deeply. By the end of the song, we feel the simple yet powerful truth Rivera celebrates: genuine love is not about perfection, it is about two people uplifting each other through tenderness, patience, and the everyday magic of waking up side by side.
