Verse 1

Departure of the flight destined for happiness

Traveling around the world I found

Beautiful things that I didn't see before

People who enjoy a sunrise

And the simple things that life gives us

It's a gift to wake up

To walk around saying 'Good morning'

And no need to worry

If we take nothing at the end of the day

Chorus 1

From here I'm not leaving without having lived

I’m going to enjoy life while I breathe

To tell stories and not wasted time

And no, it's not existing, it's feeling alive

I’m going to enjoy life while I breathe

My fear is not dying, it's not having lived

Verse 2

To get married in Las Vegas without papers

In Mexico to drink liters of tequila

To look at the little lights of the Eiffel Tower

To hold the tower of Pisa for a photo

To swim without clothes on a beach in Ibiza

To roll down the windows to feel the breeze

To run in the rain without a shirt

And with a dollar in New York to eat a pizza

Bridge

From here I'm not leaving without having lived

From here I’m not leaving without feeling alive

I dreamed of another world, so far and so close

I dreamed of another trip, four paths

Five destinations, I dreamed of the laughter

I dreamed of the illusion, I dreamed of another world

Verse 3

Oh, but how beautiful it is

To shout 'Pure life' in Costa Rica

To have a good coffee in Colombia

And an aguapanela on a cold night

To make friends on any corner

To get tipsy and die of laughter

Luxury is not diamonds in a Cartier

The true luxury is living without hurry

I dreamed of another world, so far and so close

I achieved it dreaming, I achieved it fighting

I dreamed upon waking

I dreamed of another world, I dreamed of another world

Chorus 3

From here I'm not leaving without having lived

I’m going to enjoy life while I breathe

To tell stories and not wasted time

I dreamed of another world

And no, it's not existing, it's feeling alive

I’m going to enjoy life while I breathe

My fear is not dying, it's not having lived

Verse 4

I dreamed of a love by night and by day

I dreamed of my moon that didn't give up

And that to my cat I said, 'I dreamed another world'

So far and so close, I dreamed of another trip

So far and so close

Pacific, I dreamed of your waves

It always ends up arriving

Outro 1

From here I'm not leaving without having lived

From here I’m not leaving without feeling alive

I have my house in a shoe and so I live where I want

I have my house in a shoe, it takes me around the whole world

I have my house on the road, a traveler told me so

I have my house in a shoe that a shoemaker made for me

Outro 2

From here I'm not leaving without having lived

From here I’m not leaving without feeling alive

I have my house with a ruined sole, that when it rains it slips on me

And it walks, it walks along the path, I want to kill my old shoe

Coastal, paisa, rolo, caleño

And every day I laugh because if not I die

Everything will come

aguapanelita — Traditional Colombian drink

Aguapanelita is a cozy, compound word for a traditional hot Colombian beverage. It literally breaks down to agua (water) + panela (unrefined cane sugar) + -ita (a common diminutive suffix showing affection).

In the song, KAROL G sings about enjoying "un aguapanelita en una noche fría" (an aguapanelita on a cold night). This specific, heartwarming image perfectly captures the song's theme: that true luxury isn't found in diamonds, but in the simple, authentic experiences you gather while traveling the world.

This song is a massive celebration of being alive! KAROL G kicks it off by announcing a "Salida del vuelo con destino a la felicidad" (Flight departure with destination happiness), and that's exactly what the song feels like. It's all about traveling the world and finally noticing the simple, beautiful things, like people enjoying a sunrise. The main idea is that life is a gift and we should enjoy every moment. She makes a powerful distinction: "Y no, no es existir, es sentirse vivo" (And no, it's not existing, it's feeling alive). Her biggest fear isn't dying, but never having truly lived.

She gives us a whole travel bucket list to prove her point! She dreams of getting married in Las Vegas, drinking tequila in Mexico, and even holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa for a photo. It's also a love letter to her home, Colombia, where she wants to drink a good coffee and an "aguapanelita" on a cold night. The song redefines what's valuable. She says real luxury isn't about "diamantes en un Cartier" (diamonds in a Cartier), but the true luxury is "vivir sin prisa" (to live without a hurry). It’s a perfect reminder to go out, make friends, and collect stories, not just things.
