About Tu

"Fuiste Tú" is a latin pop song by Guatemalan recording artist Ricardo Arjona, released on 7 February 2012 as the second single from his thirteenth studio album, Independiente (2011). Featuring additional lead vocals by Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno, the song was written by Arjona, who produced it with longtime collaborators Dan Warner and Lee Levin under their stage name Los Gringos. Additional work on the recording was done by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Tommy Torres. Lyrically, "Fuiste Tú" rounds the concept of recreating "the battle on a couple when someone starts to say 'is the beginning of the end'". The song became the second consecutive single from Independiente to reach the top ten in the US Billboard Top Latin Songs, and the second single from the album to top both the Latin Pop Songs and Tropical Songs charts. "Fuiste Tú" performed well on several national charts from Latin America, including reaching #1 on Venezuela, and #6 on Mexico. The single was nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 13th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.

Tu 
Mi proa, mi timón, mi timonel, mi barco y todo 
Mi mar, mi ancla, mi arena y mi caña de pescar 
Mi brújula y mi norte, mi puerto y mi soporte 
Mis velas y mis redes, mi pesca y mi muelle 
Mi dramamina pa'l mareo 
Mi capitán y mi tripulación 
Que más puede pedir el corazón
Tu 
Mi piano, mi papel, mi tinta china, verso y todo 
Mi mejor musa, mi guitarra y mis intentos de canción 
Mi alfabeto en español, mi mejor inspiración 
Mis cuartetos, mis clavijas 
Mis ideas sin valijas, mis cartas sin correo 
Y esta historia merodeando la razón 
Que más puede pedir el corazón

Tu 
El teflón donde resbalan mis problemas 
Tu, mi paz y mi batalla, mi verdad y mi novela 
Tu 
Mi vicio, mi adicción, mi filosofía 
Mi coherencia y mi locura 
Mi desorden , mi armonía 
Tu 
Mi remedio y mi mal 
La criptonita de este superman
Tu 
Mi semilla, mi jardín, mi jardinero, flor y todo 
Mi mejor abono, mi hoja y tallo 
Mi rama y mi raíz, mi sol mi regadera 
Mi agua y coladera, mi fertilización 
Mi estambre tornasol, mi pólen, mi pistilo en celo 
Mi lluvia, mi pétalo y botón 
Qué más puede pedir el corazón

Tu 
El teflón donde resbalan mis problemas 
Tu, mi paz y mi batalla, mi verdad y mi novela 
Tu 
Mi vicio, mi adicción, mi filosofía 
Mi coherencia y mi locura 
Mi desorden, mi armonía 
Tu 
Mi remedio y mi mal 
La criptonita de este superman
