Verse 1
For me, love isn't a fleeting thing
Why do we fight about that if it's not that serious?
Your presence changes my luck
When we're good, how lovely it feels
You only live once, death itself says so
Chorus 1
I want you to move your waist
'Cause life is madness
Hula, hula, hula, hula, hula

Hula, hula, hula, hula, hula

Because the day that I'm gone I take nothing with me
Only the love that my folks give me
And today I'm here, tomorrow we don't know
It's like the star and its wish

viejos — parents / old folks

Viejos literally translates to "old ones" or "old people". However, in many Spanish-speaking countries, it's a very common and affectionate slang term for "parents".

In the song, KAROL G sings "Solo el amor que me dan mis viejos" (Only the love that my parents give me). This is a beautiful example of how a simple word can carry a lot of cultural warmth and meaning, different from its direct translation.

Colombian superstar KAROL G has a very direct message for us in this song: enjoy life while you can! She gets straight to the point with the line, "La vida es una, lo dice la muerte" [There's only one life, death says so]. It's a reminder that our time is limited, so we shouldn't waste it on small fights. She asks, "¿Pa' qué peleamos por eso si no es para tanto?" [Why do we fight over that if it's not such a big deal?]. Instead, the song tells us to focus on the good things, like the love from our family and the joy of being with people who make us feel good.

So what's the solution? Dance! The chorus is a simple command to get moving: "Quiero que muevas tu cintura / Que la vida es una locura" [I want you to move your waist / Because life is crazy]. The song suggests that when you die, you can't take anything with you except the love you've been given. It's a powerful call to live in the moment, appreciate what truly matters, and celebrate the beautiful madness of being alive.
