AsĂ es la vida is Enrique Iglesias and MarĂa Becerra’s playful reminder that love, like life, is a high-stakes poker game. The lyrics flip between sweet surrender and sharp heartbreak: one moment the couple is “betting it all,” the next they are licking wounds with “sal y limĂłn en la herida.” Even when they drift onto different paths (“tĂş el camino, yo la vereda”), their bond keeps pulling them back, stronger than gossip, pride, or the double-edged sword of passion.
Running through the song is an unapologetic dare—let them laugh, call us crazy! The singers celebrate every up and down as proof that the relationship is real, alive, and worth the risk. Life will test you, hurt you, and tease you with “la fruta prohibida,” but the chorus shouts that nothing is more powerful than two hearts that choose each other again and again.
