Eres tú was the Spanish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 in Luxembourg performed by the band Mocedades.
It was performed 7th on the night following Monaco and preceding Switzerland. At the close of voting, it finished in 2nd place with 125 points and remains a Eurovision classic to this very day. It was also Spain's highest scoring entry at the time, a record that stood nearly 50 years until Chanel beat it in 2022 with her song SloMo.
Lyrics[]
Como una promesa, eres tú, eres tú
Como una mañana de verano
Como una sonrisa, eres tú, eres tú
Así, así, eres tú
Toda mi esperanza, eres tú, eres tú
Como lluvia fresca en mis manos
Como fuerte brisa, eres tú, eres tú
Así, así, eres tú
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
(Eres tú…) Algo así eres tú
(Como el fuego de mi hoguera)
Algo así como el fuego de mi hoguera
(Eres tú…) Algo así eres tú
(El trigo de mi pan)
Mi vida, algo así eres tú
Como mi poema, eres tú, eres tú
Como una guitarra en la noche
Todo mi horizonte, eres tú, eres tú
Así, así, eres tú
(Nananana… nananana na…)
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
(Eres tú…) Algo así eres tú
(Como el fuego de mi hoguera)
Algo así como el fuego de mi hoguera
(Eres tú…) Algo así eres tú
(El trigo de mi pan)
Mi vida, algo así eres tú
(Eres tú…) Algo así eres tú
(Como el agua de mi fuente)
Algo así como el agua de mi fuente
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Like a promise, you are, you are
Like a summer morning
Like a smile, you are, you are
Like that, like that, you are
All my hope, you are, you are
Like fresh rain in my hands
Like a strong breeze, you are, you are
Like that, like that, you are
You are like the water of my fountain
You are the fire of my hearth
(You are…) Something like that you are
(Like the fire of my bonfire)
Something like the fire of my bonfire
(You are…) Something like that you are
(The wheat of my bread)
My life, something like that, you are
Like my poem, you are, you are
Like a guitar in the night
My whole horizon, you are, you are
Like that, like that, you are
(Nananana… nananana na…)
You are like the water of my fountain
You are the fire of my hearth
(You are…) Something like that you are
(Like the fire of my bonfire)
Something like the fire of my bonfire
(You are…) Something like that you are
(The wheat of my bread)
My life, something like that, you are
(You are…) Something like that you are
(Like the water of my fountain)
Something like the water of my fountain
You are the fire of my hearth
