La Vida Es Una (From Puss In Boots: The Last Wish) Lyrics in English KAROL G
Viejos literally translates to "old ones," but in many parts of Latin America, it's a very common and affectionate slang term for "parents" or "folks." It’s similar to how an English speaker might lovingly refer to their parents as "my old man" and "my old lady."
In the song, KAROL G sings "Solo el amor que me dan mis viejos" (Only the love that my parents give me). She uses this tender term to highlight the core message of the song: cherish the people you love, because life is short. Learning this word gives you a peek into the informal, heartfelt side of Spanish.
KAROL G brings a burst of Colombian sunshine to the fairy-tale world of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish with “La Vida Es Una.” The title means Life Is One, and the lyrics remind us that we only get a single shot at living, so we should fill it with love, rhythm, and laughter. Instead of wasting time on small arguments, KAROL G invites us to sway our hips—hula, hula—and celebrate the simple fact that being together feels amazing.
She also slips in a tender nod to family, noting that when our time is up, we leave with nothing but the love our parents gave us. The song’s upbeat reggaeton pulse turns this wisdom into a dance-floor anthem: cherish the present, treasure your people, and dance like there’s no tomorrow because, as the lyrics say, death itself tells us that life is only one.
