Otra Vida Lyrics in English by Río Roma
Coincidir means "to coincide" or "to meet again." It's a beautiful word that goes beyond a simple encounter, suggesting a fated or destined meeting.
In "Otra Vida," the singer expresses a deep regret for past mistakes and a longing for a second chance. He sings, "Ojala que haya otra vida y podamos coincidir" (I hope there's another life and we can coincide/meet again). This word perfectly captures the bittersweet hope of reconnecting with a lost love in a different time or place, making it very poignant and memorable.
Río Roma's ballad is a straightforward confession of regret. The singer admits he forgot how to make his partner feel special and let her heart hold on until it couldn't anymore: "Tu corazón aguantó hasta que no pudo más" ("Your heart held on until it couldn't take it anymore"). Rather than pretend the split wasn't necessary, he calls it fair to her: "Es mejor así, esto ya no es justo para ti" ("It's better this way, this isn't fair to you anymore").
The chorus turns the guilt into a wish: not in this life, but maybe in another one, they'd get it right — "Ojalá que haya otra vida y podamos coincidir" ("I hope there's another life and we can cross paths"). It ends on a bare, repeated apology, "Perdóname, no supe hacer las cosas bien" ("Forgive me, I didn't know how to do things right"), leaving the regret unresolved rather than tied up neatly.
