A capricho is a sudden, impulsive desire or decision, often one that is hard to explain. It's a fantastic word to express the idea of a 'whim' or 'fancy'.
In the song, the singer wonders if the reason her relationship failed was simply a "capricho de Dios" (a whim of God). This poetic phrase captures the feeling of a love that seemed destined but was undone by a random twist of fate, making it both heartbreaking and beautiful.
Picture hitting the rewind button on life and landing in a parallel timeline where everything finally clicks. That is the heart of “En Otra Vida,” Yami Safdie’s dreamy duet with Venezuelan singer Lasso. The lyrics paint a vivid montage of what could have been: wedding bells, round-the-world adventures, cozy apartment life, parents who get along, and kids who inherit the best of both lovers. It is a warm, cinematic postcard from an alternate universe where the cosmos, timing, and courage all line up perfectly.
Back in this reality, things did not work out, so the song becomes a bittersweet confession and an open invitation. Safdie and Lasso wrestle with fate, wondering if a divine prank or their own hesitation kept the relationship from blossoming. Still, hope lingers. The chorus promises, "Aquí te esperaré" — I’ll wait for you here — suggesting that love might still find its way, whether in a future decision or another lifetime entirely. The result is a heartfelt blend of nostalgia and optimism that makes you sway, dream, and maybe believe in second chances across the stars.
