Cielo de un solo color

"Cielo de un solo color" (English: "Single-color sky") is a song by the Uruguayan rock band No Te Va Gustar, released as the sixth single from their third studio album, Aunque cueste ver el sol (2004).

[1] The song was written by Emiliano Brancciari, Pablo Abdala and Mateo Moreno—the three founding members of the band—and is about the difficult situation of the country in the context of the 2002 banking crisis, which caused the emigration of many Uruguayans.

[2] In an interview with the El País newspaper, Brancciari said that it was a "love song for the country in a difficult time".

The chorus lines "Hay algo que sigue vivo / Nos renueva la emoción / Y en el último suspiro" (English: "There is something that is still alive / renews our hope / and in the last breath") was associated with the intensity of football matches and last-minute goals.

[6][7] Likewise, the line "Ay Celeste, regale un sol" (English: "Oh Sky-Blue, give me a sun"), was written in honor of the Sun of May of the national flag and associated with the Uruguay national football team since it is commonly referred to as La Celeste (The Sky Blue).
