Today I woke up
With the desire to go out
The street calls me and I'm going to get dressed
Life is only one and it's my turn to live
I forgot about the past, I'm not going to suffer anymore
Today I'm going to smoke
Even though I know I'm not like that
And I'm going to forget
About what I used to be
I don't want complications or to know about cell phones
I want to drink and go out with my friends
Let the vibe rise and never end
I don't want my days to be the same
Today it's my turn to live
Today it's my turn to live
Today it's my turn to live
Today it's my turn to live
I want models
I'm not going to leave the brothels
And in case I die tomorrow
Tonight I rebel
And let the bottles be lit
One for me and another for her
Until the stars don't go away
I'm not leaving here
Today it's my turn to live
I closed the door on love
I'm ready to do mischief
Those who hurt me are dead to me
I spend Christmas alone
I closed the door on love
I'm ready to do mischief
Those who hurt me are dead to me
Today it's my turn to live
Today it's my turn to live
Today it's my turn to live

Did you like this lyrics translation?

putero — brothel / whorehouse

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.
