Vivir Lyrics in English by Jay Wheeler, DJ Nelson
Putero is a strong, informal, and somewhat vulgar term that refers to a brothel or a place where prostitutes work. It's not a word you hear in everyday polite conversation, making it quite striking in song lyrics.
In the context of this song, the artist sings, "No voy a salir de los putero" (I'm not going to leave the brothels). This line, combined with the rebellious and hedonistic themes of the song, suggests a deliberate embrace of a wild, unrestrained lifestyle, rejecting past inhibitions and societal norms.
"Vivir" is Jay Wheeler's anthem for living in the moment. He wakes up ready to leave the past behind, go out with friends, and stop worrying about complications like relationships and phones.
The chorus, "Hoy me toca vivir" ("Today it's my turn to live"), repeats like a mantra throughout the song, capturing the carefree, party-first attitude of the lyrics.
In the second half, he turns to heartbreak, singing that he's closed the door on love after being hurt, choosing freedom and mischief over vulnerability. The song is a celebration of moving on and choosing to enjoy life rather than dwell on what's gone.
