envejecer — to grow old

Envejecer means "to grow old" or "to age." It's a beautiful and profound word that speaks to the passage of time and the commitment of a long-term relationship.

In the song, the artist expresses a desire to learn about love and stay in love "hasta envejecer" (until growing old). This phrase conveys a deep longing for a lasting, mature love, contrasting with his past experiences. It's a word that adds a layer of sincerity and depth to the lyrics.

Mau y Ricky's "Canción 2" is a super honest look at how timing is everything in love. Our singer admits he was a bit of a mess a few years back, saying, "No hubiese funcionado si te hubiese conocido un par de años atrás cuando yo estaba perdido" [It wouldn't have worked if I had met you a couple of years ago when I was lost]. He wasn't a bad guy, but he was definitely a player, falling for "una, dos y tres" [one, two, and three] women at a time. He's actually grateful he didn't meet his current love sooner, because he knows he would have messed it up!

It's a really relatable feeling, right? He says, "Sé mucho de culos, sé mucho de alcohol, pero no conozco lo que es el amor" [I know a lot about butts, I know a lot about alcohol, but I don't know what love is]. Now, with this person, he wants to learn to be in love "hasta envejecer" [until he grows old]. He's saying he's finally ready for the real thing, and he's thankful for the journey that brought him to this point. It's a sweet and surprisingly deep song about growing up and finding true love at the right moment.
