tres meses de vida
El doctor me dio
tres meses de vida
un año paso
y viviendo sigo yo
un año paso
y viviendo sigo yo
no sé qué paso
con ese doctor
no sé qué paso
con ese doctor
pero sigo vivo
mi problema no es peor
pero sigo vivo
mi problema no es peor
mi doctor me dijo
usted morirá
mi doctor me dijo
usted morirá
empecé a gozar
y a la cárcel fui a parar
empecé a gozar
y a la cárcel fui a parar
yo me fui al colmado
llego el pagare
me lleve una jeva
y me divorcie
yo me fui a un motel
de luna de miel
a comer filete
y a beber aguardiente
ay doctor, ay doctor
ay doctor, ay doctor
porque usted me dijo
le quedan tres meses
ya pasaron diez
y míreme usted
yo que me pensaba
gozar mis tres meses
debo ya la vida
más los intereses
ay doctor, ay doctor
ay doctor, ay doctor
yo me fui al colmado
llego el pagare
me lleve una jeva
y me divorcie
yo me fui a un motel
de luna de miel
a comer filete
y a beber aguardiente
ay doctor, ay doctor!!!
ay doctor, ay doctor!!!
porque usted me dijo
le quedan tres meses
ya pasaron diez
y mireme usted
yo que me pensaba
gozar mis tres meses

yo me fui al colmado

me lleve una jeva
y me divorcie
yo me fui a un motel
de luna de miel
a comer filete

The song "Ay Doctor" by Bonny Cepeda is about a man who has been given three months to live by his doctor. However, a year has passed and he is still alive. He doesn't know what happened to his doctor but he is grateful that he is still alive. He then goes on to recount how he started enjoying his life after he was told he only had three months to live. He went to the store, had fun, and even got into trouble with the law. He then concludes by saying that even though he was supposed to die three months after he was told, he is still alive and owes the interests of the debt of his life.
The lyrics are about how unpredictable life can be and how people should live in the present moment. The man in the song decides to live his life to the fullest after he was told that he only had three months to live. However, he ends up living longer than he expected and finds himself with new problems and responsibilities as a result. The message of the song is that if we spend too much time worried about the future, we risk missing out on the joys of the present.
