Verse 1
Look how I'm doing my love for your loving
Drunk and passionate
Only for your love
Look how I'm doing my good
Very given to drunkenness and ruin
Or: Very used to drinking and downfall
Chorus 1
You only you
You've filled with mourning my life
Opening a wound in my heart
You, you, only you
You're the cause of all my crying
Of my disenchantment and desperation
Or: Of my disappointment and despair
Verse 2
Look how I'm doing woman for your love
Only your fatal shadow
Shadow of evil
It follows me everywhere stubbornly
And for wanting to forget you
Or: And because of wanting to forget you
I throw myself into drunkenness and ruin
Or: I throw myself into drinking and downfall
Chorus 2
You only you
You've filled with mourning my life
Opening a wound in my heart
You, you, only you
You're the cause of all my crying
Of my disenchantment and desperation

SONG MEANING

Selena turns the dance floor into a confessional with “Tú, Solo Tú.” Behind the lively cumbia beat, she paints the picture of a lover who has lost all control because of one person. The singer staggers through the song, describing herself as “borracha y apasionada” (drunk and passionate) and “muy dada a la perdición” (given to ruin). Every step she takes is haunted by the memory of this love, and she blames only that person — tú, solo tú — for her grief. The contrast between the upbeat rhythm and the sorrow-soaked lyrics makes the heartbreak feel even sharper, like smiling through tears on a crowded dance floor.

Throughout the lyrics, the repeated refrain “Tú, sólo tú” becomes a relentless accusation. This shadowy figure, a “sombra fatal,” follows her everywhere, refusing to let her heal. By admitting she drinks to forget, Selena shows how love can turn into an all-consuming obsession that pushes someone to the edge of despair. The song’s bittersweet energy invites listeners to sway, sing, and feel the intensity of a passion that is as intoxicating as it is destructive.
