La Buena Vida
Camila Cabello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I forgot you were gone again
And all the words you typed out, I read, uh
But I'm alone on my sofa bed, uh
My skin's so soft today, uh
But you're so far away
And I can go off the memories, uh
Starting to feel like a memory, uh
And I thought we'd be traveling the world
Together making love in the afternoon
But I'm forgetting what it's like to wake up next to you
And this is what I go through
You should be here, should be with me tonight
'Stead you're working, you're working all the time
Why am I home alone with your glass of wine?
Oh no, oh no, this is not the life (no)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Listen
I don't wanna be the one making plans all the time
Asking you what's on your mind
I know I'm not on your mind
Scared you're gonna fall behind
Listen, listen, I get it, I get it
More than anybody, I get it
Life is right now, you tend to forget it
Looking back, you're gonna regret it
I thought we'd be traveling the world
Together making love in the afternoon
But I'm forgetting what it's like to wake up next to you
And this is what I'm going through, baby
You should be here, should be with me tonight
Instead, you're working, you're working all the time
Why am I home alone with your glass of wine?
Oh no, oh no, this is not the life
En la vida lo que importa es el amor
Que nos llena el corazón
Lo demás viene y se va
But I'm forgetting what it's like to wake up next to you
This is what I go through
You should be here, should be with me tonight
'Stead, you're working, you're working all the time
Why am I home alone with your glass of wine?
Oh no, oh no, this is not the life
I, I imagined when you first spent the night
I don't feel like yours, you don't feel like mine
And my twenties are gonna pass me by
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, this is not the life
Oh no, oh no (this is not the life), not my life
La buena vida, la buena vida ¿donde está?
La buena vida, la buena vida, ¿dónde está?
La buena vida, la buena vida, ¿dónde está? (Échale)
Yo te necesito, ¿dónde estás?
The lyrics of Camila Cabello's song "La Buena Vida" depict the feeling of longing and dissatisfaction in a relationship where one partner is constantly working and away, leaving the other feeling lonely and disconnected. The song begins with the singer waking up feeling happy, momentarily forgetting that their partner is gone again. They mention reading the messages from their partner but feeling alone on their sofa bed. Despite having soft skin, they feel a distance between them and their partner who is far away, relying only on memories. The singer expresses their disappointment, envisioning a life of traveling and making love together, but instead they are left alone with a glass of wine, realizing that it's not the life they had imagined.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for their partner to be present, highlighting the loneliness and frustration they experience when their partner is constantly working. They question why they are left alone with a glass of wine when their partner should be with them. The song also touches upon the imbalance in the relationship, with the singer feeling like they are always the one making plans and wondering what is on their partner's mind. They understand their partner's busy schedule but express the fear of being left behind and the realization that life is happening right now, urging their partner not to forget it and regret it later.
Overall, "La Buena Vida" explores themes of longing, dissatisfaction, and the desire for a more balanced and present relationship.

Buenísima, te amo demasiado. La buena vida es una de las mejores piezas musicales de está generación. Tantos ritmos urbanos y Camila eligió el camino del artista que da un concepto único y diferente
Hanna Gamarra
@Savannah LM ÚNICO Y DIFERENTE
mar cool
totalmente de acuerdo!!
Savannah LM
¿Único y diferente?, la tipa está haciendo mariachi en inglés, no es nada del otro mundo, la música regional Mexicana es así, no mames
DarioT TOrres
@Maria Jose Salgado de hecho no, ya los latinos estamos acostumbrados a esos ritmos, en cambio el público norteamericano no. Lo que hizo Camila es mezclar dos culturas, cómo artista pienso que la idea es innovar, tomar lo que ya existe y hacerlo mejor
Maria Jose Salgado
Sí, pero todo en español sería más a corde

Y aquí estoy escuchando esta obra de arte porque el álbum aún no me aparece disponible en Spotify. Esta es la canción que más estuve esperando desde que anunció el tracklist y definitivamente me encantó.
