Cada Quien Lyrics in English by Ulices Chaidez, Jose Manuel
Extremos translates to "extremes." It's an interesting word because it speaks to a common human experience of seeking balance in life.
In the song, the artist sings, "Sin llegar a los extremos, sin perderme en la bebida" (Without reaching extremes, without getting lost in drink). This line highlights a desire to enjoy life responsibly, making it a relatable and thought-provoking word choice for learners.
Ulices Chaidez and Jose Manuel's "Cada Quien" is all about living life on your own terms, but with a good head on your shoulders. The song kicks off with the idea that time is flying by: "Me están corriendo los años / Quiero disfrutar la vida" [The years are running by me / I want to enjoy life]. It's not about going wild, though; they sing about enjoying life "Sin llegar a los extremos / Sin perderme en la bebida" [Without going to extremes / Without getting lost in drink]. It’s a pretty chill philosophy, really – everyone does things their own way, and they choose to laugh and sing to the people, whether it's about sadness or happiness.
There's a real sense of carpe diem here, with lines like "Dicen que la vida es corta / Puede que eso sea verdad" [They say life is short / Maybe that's true]. But it’s not about being perfect; it’s about being good: "Nadie llega a ser un santo / Pero sí dejar el mal" [Nobody becomes a saint / But you can leave evil behind]. The core message, "Cada quién vive como puede / Cada quién busca su verdad" [Everyone lives as they can / Everyone seeks their truth], really hits home. It's a reminder that life is a gift from God, and it's best not to talk too much – just live it. They even give a shout-out to a friend who lived life to the fullest, saying, "Y si alguien disfrutó su vida / Fue mi compa Ariel" [And if anyone enjoyed his life / It was my friend Ariel]. It's a simple, honest take on making the most of your time.
