Para vivir
Nicho Hinojosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Muchas veces te dije
Que antes de hacerlo, había que pensarlo muy bien
Esta unión de nosotros, que hacia falta carne y deseo también
Que no bastaba, que me entendieras y que murieras por mi
Que no bastaba, que en mis fracasos yo me refugiara en ti
Y ahora ves lo que paso, al fin nació
Que provoco ya en ti, y aunque es penoso lo tienes que decir
Por mi parte esperaba, que un día el tiempo se hiciera cargo del fin
Si hacia no hubiera sido, yo habría seguido jugando a hacerte feliz
Y aunque el llanto es amargo, piensa en los años que tienes para vivir
Que mi dolor no es menos, y lo peor es que ya no puedo sentir
Y ahora tratar de conquistar con vano afán
Ese tiempo perdido, que nos deja vencidos
Sin poder conocer, eso que llaman amor para vivir, para vivir

He expresses regret that he did not realize this sooner and that he took the other person for granted. However, he ultimately accepts that the relationship has run its course and that both parties need to move on and find new ways to live.

The song reminds us that even the best-intentioned relationships can fail when they lack the necessary chemistry or when one or both parties stop putting in the effort. The singer's words also acknowledge the pain and loss that can result when a relationship ends, but he encourages himself and the other person to look ahead and embrace the time they have left to live.
