Mi Vida Lyrics in English by Abraham Vazquez
Desgaste literally means 'wear and tear' or 'erosion', often referring to physical deterioration. However, it can also mean 'exhaustion' or 'strain' when applied to people or relationships.
In this song, Abraham Vazquez uses it in a more emotional and personal sense, singing "A mis padres desgaste a mis abuelos también." Here, it implies that he caused his parents and grandparents emotional strain or exhaustion due to his past actions, highlighting a sense of regret and the burden he placed on them. It's a poignant word that reveals a deeper emotional context.
Abraham Vazquez's "Mi Vida" is a really personal look into his journey, showing us his struggles and triumphs. He talks about fighting hard to get where he is, saying, "luché para tener en serio que me esforcé en las tierras" [I fought to have, seriously, I strived in these lands]. He admits to past failures, but emphasizes how he always got back up, even when he felt alone. It's clear he's driven to surpass his past records and prove himself.
He also opens up about overcoming his fears and losing his inhibitions, stating, "hay que vencer mis miedos también perder mis tales" [I have to conquer my fears, also lose my inhibitions]. He remembers humble beginnings, like writing songs with his mother in their kitchen or on the sofa. Abraham also touches on past mistakes, like being ungrateful to his parents and grandparents, but he's learned his lesson and is determined to make them proud. He wants his parents to stop working so hard, promising, "yo mandaré para ciento no trabajes tanto" [I will send money so you don't work so much]. It's a powerful message about growth, family, and the relentless pursuit of his dreams.
