I've lived for so many people that sometimes I don't

I can't even find myself in the mirror, I don't know who I am

I've been through highs and lows

Though it hasn't been easy, here I am

To leave my footprint in the sand

I lived life your way

Time flies and won't wait for you

I feel the roof goes kapun, kapun, freaking out

And my heart goes kapun, kapun, so you'll love me

I live my own way

You

You've lived and cried your eyes out over ingratitude

Now we're good friends, you don't even know

I've been through highs and lows

And though it hasn't been easy, here I am

To leave my footprint in the sand

I lived life your way

Time flies and won't wait for you

I feel the roof goes kapun, kapun, freaking out

And my heart goes kapun, kapun, so you'll love me

I live my own way

Yeh-oh

I live my own way

Let me love you the Colombian way

There's a new world under my ruana

Aguardiente at night and coffee in the mornings

Roasted arepas drift through the afternoon

Let's head to Colombia, life's short

Whatever they say, who cares?

To break free from routine

Let me love you my Argentine way

I lived life your way

Cause the train goes by and won't wait for you

I feel the roof goes kapun, kapun, freaking out

And my heart goes kapun, kapun, so you'll love me

I live my own way

I go wherever I want

I live my own way

Following the stars

Singing on the sidewalk

Traveling to your hips

With Messi on my shirt

I want a plum flan

I live my own way

SONG MEANING

Kapun is a vibrant, feel-good anthem where Diego Torres teams up with Carlos Vives to shout one clear message: live life your way before time speeds past. From the very first line, Torres admits he has spent too long pleasing everyone else, losing sight of his own reflection. The pounding on-porch rhythm of “kapun, kapun” mirrors both a noisy roof and a racing heartbeat, reminding us that the clock is always ticking.

The chorus flips that pressure into freedom. The singers invite you to stamp your personal footprint in the sand, grab a ticket to Colombia or Argentina, sip aguardiente at night, cheer for Messi in the afternoon, and forget what the gossipers say. Life’s train does not wait, so dance, travel, fall in love, and eat those arepas while the music is loud. In short, “Kapun” is a postcard from two Latin icons urging you to chase joy, authenticity, and adventure—a todo pulmón—before the roof caves in.
