“El Sol Que Tú Eres ” is a love song that means, “ You are the sun” that describes a person and resembles him/her to sun in many ways. The lyrics start with describing the sun and how it stays with us through out the day like it’s starring at us from the sunrise till sunset and it goes like this “Sol Redondo y Colorado”, “Como una rueda de cobre”, and “ De diario me miras tanto”. Then, she starts to resembles the sun to him/her in many things such as bright wide light which might refers to the kindness and sweetness that they have, and she is so captivated by that to makes her feel wants to be the same they are:“Para repartir tu luz” and “ hacer lo mismo que tu”. And she continues to talk abut the sun and how it is surrendered us all the day till sunset and that might refers by how she’s keep thinking of that person that she cant get it outta her mind from she wakes up till get to sleep.

The instruments play an important part of the song. The song is a balled and there is no that heavy instruments on it except a guitar that plays slow and soft through out the song. In addition, there is another male vocalist who sings along with the singer, which provides backing vocals to the song, and there is a matching vocals range between them. And, the singer voice is so raspy and soft filled with emotions and feelings the take the lyrics and the instruments to another levels and brings them to life.
