The talented artist decided to stay in Mexico while visiting the country along with the Cuban Modern Music Orquestra. In 1992, Luis Miguel recorded his songs "Pensar En Ti," featured on his album Aries, and "Que Tu Te Vas," on Nada Es Igual, which were good enough to captivate the attention of Warner Music.

Lloras Vida
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vida vida amor, vida mía
Vida por favor, lloras vida
Vida siempre vida
Vida amor y desamor sin vida
Vida vienes y me faltas
Vida por favor no vayas
A dejarme el corazón, sin vida
No te alejes para siempre

No me dejes sin tu vida, que es mi vida
Y la vida esta llorando
Va llorando entre tu y yo
Vida vida amor, vida mía
Vida por favor, lloras vida
Ya no esta, ya se fue
¿y ahora yo que voy a hacer sin esta vida

Que es mi vida? vida
Ya no esta, ya se fue

The line "vida amor y desamor sin vida" (life, love, and heartbreak without life) speaks to the idea that life is what gives love and heartbreak meaning, without it, they become meaningless.

The chorus, "vida vida amor, vida mía vida por favor, lloras vida" (life, life, love, my life, life please, you cry life) brings attention to the idea that life itself can cry. The singer personifies life as something that can feel and cry, almost like a living being. The repetition of the word "vida" in the chorus adds to the pleading tone of the song. The lyrics overall convey the message that life and love are fragile and delicate things, worth cherishing and holding onto.
