Empeñan comes from the verb empeñarse, which means to insist, strive, or be determined to do something, often against obstacles. It's a less common verb than 'querer' or 'intentar', making it more interesting.
In the song, Greeicy sings, "Hay quienes se empeñan en destruir la ilusión" (There are those who insist on destroying the illusion). This word perfectly captures the active and persistent effort some people make to bring others down, highlighting the singer's resilience in the face of negativity.
Have you ever felt like you're winning one day and losing the next? That's exactly what Colombian artist Greeicy sings about in "Así Es La Vida," which translates to "That's Life." The song is a powerful anthem about resilience and embracing the rollercoaster of life. Greeicy describes her journey through various roles, from a "poet" and "clown" to finally becoming a "queen," showing that life is full of ups and downs, like "triumphing in March and failing in April."
Despite facing challenges and people who try to bring her down, the singer's message is clear: never give up. She finds strength when things seem to be going "from bad to worse" and chooses to "recover my strength to fight better." It's a celebration of perseverance, of not letting bitterness take over, and of knowing that even after failure, a new triumph could be just around the corner.
