[edit] Theme song
The theme song to Cristal is "Mi Vida Eres Tu", performed by Rudy La Scala. The lyrics to this song are the following:
Mi Vida Eres Tu / Rudy La Scala
Perdona es que yo caminaba por aquí y en tu alcoba vi la luz
Perdona mi actitud quizá debí llamar y no presentarme así
Perdona la ocasión así lo decidió y de vuelta estoy aquí
Creo que me equivoqué
Que bella que te ves
Ya no puedo seguir
Mi vida eres tú y solamente tú
Tratando de explicar su mano le tomé
Y la intenté besar
Mi vida eres tú y solamente tú
Abrázame y veras que aún en nuestro ser
Hay fuego que apagar
No sabes que tan mal lo puede uno pasar ausentándose de ti
Cada día yo traté amar a alguien mas que fuese igual que tú
Ya vez hoy regresé con mi vergüenza estoy cara a cara frente a ti
Si me quedo dímelo y si tengo que partir perdona es que aún
Mi vida eres tu y solamente tú
Tratando de explicar su mano le tomé
Y la Intenté besar
Mi vida eres tú tan solamente tú
Abrázame y veras que aun en nuestro ser
Hay fuego que apagar
Mi vida eres tú
