Verse 1

It was you

Having you was a photo of you placed in my wallet

A kiss and to see you become small on the road

Or: A kiss and watching you grow smaller down the highway

Yours was intermittence and melancholy

Mine was to accept everything because I loved you

Seeing you arrive was light

To see you leave a blues

Or: The sad part was seeing you leave

It was you

Needless to say that there's so many things left to say

Or you learn to love the thorn or you don't accept roses

I never told you a lie or invented a blackmail

The grey clouds also form part of the landscape

And don't look at me like this

If there was a culprit here

It was you

Chorus 1

How easy it was to touch the sky the first time

When the kisses were the starter

That ignited the light that today disappears

Like this love disguises itself for its convenience

Accepting everything without asking questions

And leaving to time the deathblow

Nothing else to say

Only remains to insist, say it

Verse 2

It was you

The neon light of the neighbourhood knows that I'm so tired

It has seen me walk barefoot at dawn

I'm in the middle of what I am and what you wanted

Or: I am in between who I am and who you'd like me to be

Wanting to wake up thinking how I didn't want to

And don't look at me like this

If there was a culprit here

It was you

Chorus 2

How easy it was to touch the sky the first time

When the kisses were the starter

That ignited the light that today disappears

Like this love disguises itself for its convenience

Accepting everything without asking questions

And leaving to time the deathblow

Nothing else to say

Only remains to insist

It was you

Chorus 3

How easy it was to touch the sky the first time

When the kisses were the starter

That ignited the light that today disappears

Like this love disguises itself for its convenience

Accepting everything without asking questions

And leaving to time the deathblow

Nothing else to say

If you want to insist

It was you

SONG MEANING

Ricardo Arjona teams up with fellow Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno to paint a cinematic love story that starts in blazing technicolor and fades into grayscale. Fuiste Tú ("It Was You") is a duet of sweet blame, where two ex–lovers rewind the film of their romance: the wallet-sized photo, the road-trip kisses, the neon lights that once felt like fireworks. Each memory is a postcard from a relationship that burned bright, then dimmed into blue notes.

Arjona’s lyrics juggle light and shadow. He reminds us that roses come with thorns, gray clouds also belong in the landscape, and love often wears convenient disguises. The chorus repeats the pointed verdict—Fuiste tú—like the final stamp on a bittersweet letter, accepting that passion can be effortless at first but heartbreak demands honesty in the end. Listening to this song is like strolling barefoot at dawn after an all-night dance: tender, nostalgic, and beautifully human.
