Sigo Vivo Lyrics in English by Los Dos Carnales
Persigno comes from the verb persignarse, which means to make the sign of the cross, often as a prayer or a gesture of seeking divine protection.
In the song, the line "Me persigno y con un rezo abro camino" (I cross myself and with a prayer I open my path) highlights a moment of spiritual reflection and hope. It's a culturally significant word in many Spanish-speaking regions, representing faith and tradition, and it's less common than everyday verbs, making it an interesting and unique choice for learners.
Have you ever just felt grateful to be alive and wanted to celebrate it? That's exactly what Los Dos Carnales are doing in "Sigo Vivo" [I'm Still Alive]! It's a song about appreciating life and all the people who have helped you along the way. The singer reflects on his life, thinking about his dad's lessons and asking his mom for forgiveness if he wasn't the best son, but knowing she always loved him anyway.
He's ready to "festejar porque estamos vivos" [celebrate because we are alive]! He wants to have a drink with his loved ones and keep moving forward, no matter what. It's a really positive message about living life to the fullest, being thankful for what you have, and trusting that God is always with you. "Vida solo hay una y mira, sigo vivo" [There's only one life and look, I'm still alive] – it's a great reminder to make the most of every day!
