En Otra Vida - Versión Cuarteto Lyrics in English by Yami Safdie, Luck Ra, Q´Lokura
Capricho translates to "whim" or "caprice." It's an interesting word because it implies a sudden, often irrational, desire or change of mind, suggesting something beyond one's control.
In the song, the artist wonders if their failed relationship was "un capricho de Dios" (a whim of God). This adds a layer of poetic fatalism, suggesting that their destiny was decided by a higher power's unpredictable desire, making it a memorable and thought-provoking choice.
Have you ever thought about a "what if" scenario with someone you really cared about? Yami Safdie, with Luck Ra and Q'Lokura, explores exactly that in "En Otra Vida - Versión Cuarteto." It's a super catchy song from Argentina that imagines a perfect life with a past love, but in another reality.
The lyrics are so relatable, dreaming of a life where they did get married, traveled the world, and even had parents who were friends! "Nuestros hijos / Heredaron mi paciencia y tu sonrisa" [Our children / Inherited my patience and your smile] is such a sweet image. But then, the song brings you back to the present with a blunt, "En esta, no" [In this one, no]. It's about wondering why things didn't work out – maybe it was "un capricho de Dios / O el coraje que siempre faltó" [a whim of God / Or the courage that was always missing]. Despite everything, there's still a glimmer of hope, with the singer saying, "Aquí te esperaré / Si cambias de opinión" [Here I will wait for you / If you change your mind]. It's a beautiful, bittersweet look at what could have been, and what still might be.
