Lyrics
Verse 1
Hay quien sueña, María, con que al cruzar el último puente,
lo reciba un padre, una madre, una hija, o un hijo.
Hay quien anhela ver primero a un amigo del alma,
o a esos abuelos que le enseñaron a creer.
Yo, María, no pido eso. Yo no busco caras conocidas,
ni voces familiares, ni los nombres de los míos.
Yo te pido, María, esta única cosa, esta única gracia:
cuando muera… que seas Tú… la que esté allí esperando.
Pre-chorus
Porque he gastado mi vida llamándote «Madre»,
he rezado Tu Ave María mil veces sin saber si me oías.
Pero cuando llegue mi hora, María, déjame ver Tu rostro,
déjame entrar al cielo… abrazado a Ti…
Chorus
Que seas Tú, María, la que me reciba,
cuando termine mi camino, cuando se apague mi vida.
Que sea Tu mirada el primer alba en la otra orilla,
y Tu manto azul… el primer hogar del alma mía.
Verse 2
Te he buscado en cada lágrima, en cada amanecer cansado,
te he llamado en silencio cuando nadie me escuchaba.
He rezado el rosario por mis hijos mientras dormían,
y a Ti, María, te he pedido fuerzas para no caer.
Sé que no soy digno, sé que mil veces he fallado,
pero también sé que Tú no abandonas a quien Te llama.
Por eso, María, en mi hora última, en la hora final,
no quiero más nadie en la orilla… que Tú.
Chorus
Que seas Tú, María, la que me reciba,
cuando termine mi camino, cuando se apague mi vida.
Que sea Tu mirada el primer alba en la otra orilla,
y Tu mano en mi mano… al final de mi vida.
Bridge
Y cuando cierre los ojos por última vez en este mundo,
y los oídos dejen de oír las voces que conocí…
quiero abrir los ojos y verTe a Ti, María,
con esa mirada Tuya, llena de la ternura del cielo.
Que sea Tu mano la que tome mi mano temblorosa,
que sea Tu voz la que diga: «Ven, hijo… te llevo a casa».
Final chorus
Que seas Tú, María, la que me reciba,
cuando termine mi camino, cuando se apague mi vida.
Que sea Tu mirada el primer alba en la otra orilla,
y Tu rostro será… mi primer cielo en aquel día.
Tag
¡Que seas Tú…! (que seas Tú…)
¡Mi María…! (mi María…)
¡La que me reciba…! (la que me reciba…)
…en aquella orilla… abrazado a Ti.
Closing reflection
Y sé, María, que estarás allí, porque toda mi vida
he rezado por esa hora, he pedido por ese momento.
Y Tú nunca abandonas a quien Te llama, mi Madre,
Tú estarás allí… esperándome… como esperaste a Tu Hijo.
Outro
…hasta que llegue mi última noche, María,
seguiré pidiéndotelo igual…
que seas Tú… quien me reciba.

The last song is a simple request. Some people dream that when they die they will be met by a father, a mother, a child or a soulmate. The one singing asks for none of that: he asks that it be She who is waiting. The chorus draws closer in three steps — first Her blue mantle, then Her hand in his hand, and at the end Her face, which he calls his first heaven. And so the image that opened the album returns: in the first song She came down to this house; in the last, he is the one asking to go to Hers.
- What it's about
- The final plea: that it be She who receives him.
- Its sound signature
- Bare acoustic. A solo violin closes the album on the longest note of the record.
- The trick in the chorus
- «Your blue mantle» → «Your hand in mine» → «Your face… my first heaven»: mantle, hand and face, closer each time.
- Worth knowing
- This is the devotion to Our Lady of a Happy Death. The line «I'll take you home» is written carefully: Mary is the one who guides, never the destination. And here the blue mantle of the first track returns — the album closes its circle.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most about this page. If something is missing, write to the address in the footer.
What is «Que seas Tú» about?
It is the album's final request. Some dream that at death they will be received by a father, a mother, a child or a dear friend. The one singing asks for none of that: he asks that She be the one waiting.
Why does this song close the album?
Because it closes the circle. The blue mantle of the first song returns: there She came down to your house in the middle of the night; here you are the one asking to go to Hers and be received in that same mantle. The album ends where it began, with the roles reversed.
How long is it and where does it sit on the album?
It runs 5:45 and is track 10, the last on «La Virgen de Nazaret». Its ISRC is QT6FP2692528. A solo violin holds the longest note on the whole album to see it out.
What is this song's sonic signature?
Bare acoustic, with no band. A solo violin closes the record with the longest note on the album: it is the same violin that signs off every farewell across the ten tracks, here left alone at the end.
How does the chorus change through the song?
It draws closer in three steps: «Tu manto azul» (Your blue mantle) → «Tu mano en mi mano» (Your hand in my hand) → «Tu rostro… mi primer cielo» (Your face… my first heaven). Mantle, hand and face: each repetition a little nearer, until it reaches her face.
What is the devotion to Our Lady of a Happy Death?
It is asking that Mary accompany the final hour, and it is what this song is about. The lyric is carefully written on one point: «te llevo a casa» places Mary as the one who guides, never as the destination. She accompanies; she does not replace God.
Is it a sad song?
Not exactly. It speaks of death, but as a serene request rather than a lament. It is dedicated to those who no longer fear dying and also to those who do, and all it asks for is one specific companion for that moment.
Who is this song dedicated to?
To those who no longer fear dying, and also to those who do. In the author's words: I am not asking for familiar faces or familiar voices, I am asking that She be the one waiting; if you ask for the same, this song is yours too.
Does this song work for a funeral?
It is the album's song meant to accompany the end of a life, alongside «El día que Te dije adiós» for the grief of those left behind. To play it during a ceremony, it is best to ask first at soy@larryhans.com.
