Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hay Que Vivir El Momento by Manuel Carrasco from Spanish to English.

Now's the moment and not tomorrow

Let the show start again

Now that I no longer lose my cool

Before so many opportunistic fools

Now take peace and then glory

Now that the scar has healed

Let's write another story together

Where we don't have to pretend

Now that I found, with a steady stride

The path of my freedom

Look at the stars, what they say

The darker it is, the more you shine

Look

We have to live the moment

Look

We have to live the moment

Tonight the clock hands will dance

Now I only want, now I only want

Look

We have to live the moment

Look look

We have to live the moment

I feel like a hurricane

Inside my heart

Now I only want, now I only want

I just want to breathe

Life taught me through blows

On the street I learned the truth

So don't come with lessons

And apply the story to yourself before you talk

Now don't confiscate my ideas

Don't try to take me to your fold

I'll die with these boots on

And if I lose, let it be on me

Now that the networks trap us

And the truth is underestimated

Now that they cover our backs

The same ones who condemn us without mercy

Look

We have to live the moment

Look

We have to live the moment

Tonight the clock hands will dance

Now I only want, now I only want

Look

We have to live the moment

Look look

We have to live the moment

I feel like a hurricane

Inside my heart

Now I only want, now I only want

It's time to change

Every time it's more complicated

To find someone real

Who stays by your side

When the shine stops shining

Now that I'm bored of my shadow

Now that we know the worst

Now's the moment to try

And finally find the solution

The solution

And in my song

The curtain rises

Look

We have to live the moment

Look look

We have to live the moment

I feel like a hurricane

Inside my heart

Now I only want, now I only want

We have to live the moment

SONG MEANING

Manuel Carrasco’s vibrant anthem Hay Que Vivir El Momento is a wake-up call wrapped in feel-good pop. From the very first line the Spanish singer invites us to stop postponing happiness and jump straight into life’s main act. He looks back at past scars and street-taught lessons, then flips them into fuel for freedom, courage and celebration. Every “Mira” – which means “Look!” – feels like a friendly nudge, saying Eyes up, the show is happening right now!

Underneath the catchy beat lies a powerful message about authenticity. Carrasco pushes back against social media facades, empty advice and anyone trying to control his ideas. He chooses honesty, loyal companionship and self-determination, even if that means “dying with these boots on.” When he sings the chorus “Hay que vivir el momento,” he reminds us that darkness only makes stars shine brighter, clock hands can dance, and hearts can spin like hurricanes. The song ultimately celebrates taking risks, changing what needs to change and breathing in the present with all its imperfect, exhilarating glory.
