En Vida Lyrics in English by Banda Los Sebastianes
Desperdiciar means "to waste" or "to squander". It's a strong verb that emphasizes the act of losing something valuable due to misuse or neglect.
In "En Vida", the song implores listeners not to wait until it's too late to show love and appreciation. The lyrics state, "Ni un segundo se vale desperdiciar" (Not a second is worth wasting), highlighting the urgency of living life to the fullest and cherishing relationships while one is still alive.
Have you ever thought about how people sometimes wait until it's too late to show their love and appreciation? That's exactly what Banda Los Sebastianes is singing about in "En Vida." This song is a direct message to anyone who might be waiting for a funeral to express their feelings.
The lyrics are pretty blunt, saying, "Si están esperando el día que me muera / Pa' llevarme flores... Ya será muy tarde" [If you are waiting for the day I die / To bring me flowers... It will be too late]. The singer wants to see his friends and family now, not at his burial. He says, "En vida / Es aquí donde quisiera a mis amigos y a todita mi familia" [While alive / This is where I'd want my friends and all my family]. It's all about enjoying life and each other while we can, because as the song reminds us, "Hay que disfrutar a tope que en la tumba ya no se disfruta nada" [We have to enjoy ourselves to the fullest because in the grave nothing is enjoyed anymore]. It's a great reminder to live in the present and cherish the people around you!
