Tu Y Las Nubes Lyrics in English by El Fantasma
El Fantasma's "Tu Y Las Nubes" is a fantastic song about a man who is absolutely smitten, but unfortunately, the feeling isn't mutual. He feels like he's "volando bajo" [flying low] and his "amor está por los suelos" [love is on the floor], while the object of his affection is way up high, seemingly oblivious to his suffering. He's completely fixated on her, even admitting, "estoy clavado contigo / Teniendo tantos placeres / Me gusta seguir tus pasos / Habiendo tantas mujeres" [I'm stuck on you / Having so many pleasures / I like to follow your steps / Even though there are so many women]. Talk about dedication!
He's so frustrated that he declares, "Tú y las nubes, me traen muy loco / Tú y las nubes me van a matar" [You and the clouds drive me crazy / You and the clouds are going to kill me]. It's a dramatic, yet relatable, expression of unrequited love. He even makes a bold claim: "Yo no nací pa pobre / Me gusta todo lo bueno / Y tú tendrás que quererme / O en la batalla me muero" [I wasn't born to be poor / I like everything good / And you'll have to love me / Or I'll die in battle]. He's determined to win her over, even if it means fighting for her love until the very end. The song ends with him questioning an "Árbol de la esperanza" [Tree of hope] about whether he should forget her or if he can't endure it anymore, because either way, his "ojos / Se van a llenar de llanto" [eyes / Are going to fill with tears]. It's a powerful and emotional journey through the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back.
