No Puedo Vivir Sin Él Lyrics in English by KAROL G
Envejecer means 'to grow old'. It's a beautiful and poignant verb that you don't often hear in pop songs, making it a special word to learn.
In the song, KAROL G imagines a future with her love, singing, "Si llegamos a envejecer, voy a ser quien cuide de usted" (If we get to grow old, I'll be the one to take care of you). This single word beautifully captures the song's theme of a deep, lifelong commitment that she's not willing to lose.
Get ready for one of the most dramatic love songs you'll ever hear! KAROL G is not messing around here. She kicks things off by saying if her love were taken away, she'd want someone to "que alguien me dispare al corazón" (shoot me in the heart). It's a love so intense that she claims, "Puedo vivir sin aire, pero no puedo vivir sin él" (I can live without air, but I can't live without him). The thought of him with someone else, with his lips on another's skin or waking up in another bed, is so unbearable that she tells God she would rather die.
But it's not all doom and gloom! Amidst all the drama, she paints a sweet picture of their future, promising, "Si llegamos a envejecer / Voy a ser quien cuide de usted" (If we get to grow old / I'll be the one who takes care of you). She even takes a moment to thank whoever came up with the whole idea of love in the first place, giving "Aplausos pa' el que lo creó" (Applause for the one who created it). It's a song of total, all-consuming devotion, from the fear of loss to the hope of a lifetime together.
