Verse 1

I'm the one that gave mom gray hairs

The one that always dreamed of having cash

And from an early age I always had that ambition

I am the headache of mothers-in-law

Of the family I am the black sheep

As a kid I always caused trouble and worry

Prechorus 1

I was rude, but I had schooling

I only went to school for the cute girl in the class

There was one that let me down, since then I'm a b*stard

Only because babe taught me to ask for forgiveness

Chorus 1

And that the one that I offended by being a womanizer may forgive me

Since I was a kid I liked the chaos, that's how I am, I don't deny it

And the one that has the right to judge me, I'll see him later in the cemetery

In the meantime, when life is a drink

I take it seriously

Verse 2

I didn't come to be an example to follow, I am how I am

Babe wanted a good man and she got a bad boy

Don't try to change me, I am fine as I am

It hurts them 'cause I don't please them

Not one has come that straightens me out

One leaves and thirteen write me

Behaving well is not in my interests

I hit and go, then you thank me later

Prechorus 2

I'm real crazy and in that they are right

I can love many, my heart is big

I appreciate the intention, but I have no solution

And only because babe taught me to ask for forgiveness

Chorus 2

And that the one that I offended by being a womanizer may forgive me

Since I was a kid I liked the chaos, that's how I am, I don't deny it

And the one that has the right to judge me, I'll see him later in the cemetery

In the meantime, when life is a drink

I take it seriously

SONG MEANING

“Cuando La Vida Sea Trago” is Carin Leon’s unapologetic confession of being the family rebel. Over a swaggering regional Mexican groove, the singer paints himself as the boy who gave his mom gray hairs, skipped class to flirt, and grew into a charismatic bad boy who loves parties, women, and trouble in equal measure. He admits his flaws with a wink, crediting his mother for at least teaching him to say sorry, yet he insists he will live on his own terms.

At its heart, the song is a toast to freedom and mortality. Carin warns that only the graveyard will judge him, so while life is still “a drink,” he intends to savor it without regrets. It is both a playful anthem for the misbehaved and a reminder to seize each moment - because when life fills your glass, you’d better take it seriously.
