Before seeing you on the sand I was so sad
That I painted gray storm clouds with the sunscreen
I didn't believe in mermaids, but I was stunned
The beach is packed and you come closer
If you aren't in a hurry
I, for you, lift the Tower of Pisa
I, for you, even cancel my trip to Ibiza
I, for you, go back into quarantine
If you wait for me under the full moon
Looking at the sea
Since I met you I'm never sad anymore
And now I paint those gray clouds with colors
If someone steals from me I don't get mad anymore
Because my heart has already been stolen
If someone kisses me I turn to the side
If it's not you who has kissed me
If you aren't in a hurry
I, for you, lift the Tower of Pisa
I, for you, even cancel my trip to Ibiza
I, for you, go back into quarantine
If you wait for me under the full moon
Looking at the sea
Fortune isn't having money
It's seeing you by my side and telling you I love you
Fortune isn't having money
It's seeing you by my side and telling you I love you
If you aren't in a hurry
I, for you, lift the Tower of Pisa
I, for you, even cancel my trip to Ibiza
I, for you, go back into quarantine
If you wait for me under the full moon
Looking at the sea

SONG MEANING

Imagine strolling along a bustling beach, gloomy clouds in your head, when suddenly you spot someone who flips your whole world into vibrant color. That is the heart of “La Fortuna.” Cepeda begins the song painting a picture of loneliness so strong he is literally drawing grey clouds in the sand with sunscreen. The moment he meets this captivating stranger, though, every shade of sadness disappears. He is ready to raise the Leaning Tower of Pisa, skip a dream trip to Ibiza, even lock himself back into quarantine, just for a chance to stay by her side under the full moon, eyes on the sea.

The chorus reveals the real treasure: fortune is not stacks of cash but the simple joy of having the one you love close enough to whisper “te quiero.” Money, schedules, and petty annoyances stop mattering; he has already surrendered his heart. With playful exaggeration and beach-side romance, Cepeda reminds us that true wealth is measured in shared moments and stolen kisses, not in our wallets. Close your eyes, picture the waves, and let this song turn your grey clouds into bright splashes of color.
