Me Gustas Tú Lyrics
Me gustan los aviones, me gustas tu.
Me gusta viajar, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la mañana, me gustas tu.
Me gusta el viento, me gustas tu.
Me gusta soñar, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la mar, me gustas tu.
Chorus:<B>
Qué voy a hacer
je ne sais pas
Qué voy a hacer
Je ne sais plus
Qué voy a hacer
Je suis perdu
Que horas son, mi corazón</B>
Me gusta la moto, me gustas tu.
Me gusta correr, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la lluvia, me gustas tu.
Me gusta volver, me gustas tu.
Me gusta marihuana, me gustas tu.
Me gusta colombiana, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la montaña, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la noche, me gustas tu.
Chorus
Me gusta la cena, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la vecina, me gustas tu.
Me gusta su cocina, me gustas tu.
Me gusta camelar, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la guitarra, me gustas tu.
Me gusta el regaee, me gustas tu.
Chorus
Me gusta la canela, me gustas tu.
Me gusta el fuego, me gustas tu.
Me gusta menear, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la Coruña, me gustas tu.
Me gusta Malasaña, me gustas tu.
Me gusta la castaña, me gustas tu.
Me gusta Guatemala, me gustas tu.
Chorus
Ok, here's what the song is about people. I worked this out on a very hazy night. It's about Manu Chao being lost in the world and not knowing where he fits in, yaknow, due to his multicultural nature and being kinda French kinda Spanish, you know.
Here's the evidence, bitches.
"Doce de la noche en La Habana, Cuba Once de la noche en San Salvador, El Salvador Once de la noche en Managua, Nicaragua" followed by "Que hora son mi corazon?" (what time is my heart).
The man clearly does not know what 'time' his heart his, i.e. where in the world does he truly belong? To what time zone does his heart beat to?
2) This is further hinted at in the chorus. "Que voy a hacer, je suis perdu". Which means what am I going to do, I am lost. It's split between two different languages - this shows that he can't choose one COS HE FEELS LOST.
3) Listing the things he likes. He's trying to think about all the things he likes to see if they can help him find out where he belongs. Me gusta la Coruña, me gustas tu Me gusta Malasaña, me gustas tu Me gusta la Castaña, me gustas tu Me gusta Guatemala, me gustas tu. He likes ALL of those places and more. But which is truly for him? That's why he doesn't know what to do and is lost.
There you go, may as well close this comment section now.
@nickt33 : This is brilliant! It answers some questions I had been entertaining about the meaning of this song, but hadn\'t quite resolved (though I had been well aware of this everywhere-and-yet-nowhere aspect of Manu Chao\'s personal and cultural identity). \r\nStill (if you\'re still there and still interested), don\'t close down the comment section before checking out my comment (just posted, as I write this)….

Para mi esta Cancio se trata de que uno no debe estar atado a solo un grupo de cosas. Es algo normal que a uno le gusten muchas cosas al mismo tiempo. Y le dice a la que le gusta ahora como es él. Le gusta la chica y al mismo tiempo muchas cosas. Y no va a dejar de hacer las cosas que le gustan solo porque va a estar con ella.
It is definitely about what he likes / enjoys. I definitely agree with him on every instance!!! :)
this song is very funny, it`s a list about what he likes but i think everything remember him of the girl that he likes , Me gusta marihuana, me gustas tu. Me gusta colombiana, me gustas tu.
it's a great summer song, beach relaxing song...
¡me gusta esta canción! ~_^ I agree with little girl, it is funny. i love it. i think my favourite part is "me gusta la vecina, me gustas tú, me gusta su cocina, me gustas tú" -- i like my neighbor, i like her kitchen. lol. and the hint of sadness displayed by the chorus is contrasting and interesting.
well, this song is about sharing everything with the person you like, life is beautiful and so is the person you're sharing it with. and as for the chorus with the french part: What am I gonna do- I dont know What am I gonna do- I dont know anymore What am I gonna do- I'm lost What time is it, my heart? (or my dear ) - in spanish "mi corazon" is like saying "my dear"
this part just resembles manu chao's character, he travels all over the world to break life's everyday routine.
For what it's worth, here are my two cents: This song brings to mind two people, in love, making love all night long. In between every phrase is "me gustas tú" (i like you, or literally, you please me). Also, in the chorus, we constantly have "que horas son mi corazon" (what time is it, my heart/dear). In the background you can hear a radio clock counting out the hours, going from eleven at night to 5 in the morning. As for the list of things he likes, I don't think I could find too many things I dislike while making love. Let me know what you think of this idea.
oh my god it's way too more then that. it's about living for the moment, about finding the good point of view, it's about love (between every human being), about happyness, it's about the feeling that Manu shares. This song is showing what it's like to feel like that. It's to inspire you to want to feel this way, to let his culture's wisdom enter yours. youtube.com/watch Try to feel this and the world is in your hands. He asks his heart about the time. Not the system, not the echonomy. Que horas son mi corazon.. That's why he's travelling...

this song is just so cute! I like Spencer's idea of making all night long but I'd have to disagree. In context, this song is from the album "Proxima Estacion" which means "Next Station" I believe. I keep imagining him on a train station platform performing and a PA system 'counting' the hours. Manu Chao is multilingual and is a recognized artist in European and Latin countries. So he travels a lot.
yes this song ftw. me gusta marihuana :) - our spanish teacher brought this song into class and me and my mate laughed upon hearing that line
