Verse 1

Wandering I spend my life

Just traveling the world

Verse 1

If you want that I tell you

I am a soul without an owner

Verse 1

Nothing matters to me

For me, life is a dream

Verse 1

I drink when I want

I don't lie, I am very sincere

Verse 1

And I am like the seagulls

That fly from port to port

Verse 1

I know that life is short

After all, I owe it too

Chorus 1

The day that I die

I am not going to take anything with me

Chorus 1

You gotta please pleasure

Life soon ends

Chorus 1

What happened in this world

Only the memory remains

Chorus 1

Once dead, I am going to take

Only a handful of earth

Chorus 2

The day that I die

I am not going to take anything with me

Chorus 2

You gotta please pleasure

Life soon ends

Chorus 2

What happened in this world

Only the memory remains

Chorus 2

Once dead, I am going to take

Only a handful of earth

SONG MEANING

Un Puño de Tierra is Becky G’s spirited salute to living with no chains and no regrets. In this fresh take on a beloved regional Mexican classic, the bicultural star places herself in the shoes of a carefree wanderer who drifts from port to port, drinks when she feels like it, and refuses to let anyone claim her heart. The lyrics paint her as a seagull in constant flight, savoring every sunset because, to her, life is nothing but a dream.

Yet beneath the party-ready attitude lies a deeper message: everything we chase is temporary. When death comes, we leave with nothing but “un puño de tierra” – a small fistful of soil. That blunt reminder turns the song into a rallying cry to indulge responsibly, speak honestly, and collect memories instead of possessions. Becky G’s version invites listeners to dance, sing, and, most of all, embrace the fleeting beauty of the present moment.
