Carpe Diem
Ramon Mirabet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My days are over…
I'm ready to leave…
A spring breeze brings me memories…
What if I had my life to live over
And was the young boy back then…

In my teens, that was great
I used to hung out with all of my friends
In my village, happy days
Where always was the month of May
And when I was on a losing streak I thought
The best was always yet to come

And love stories, I had a "few"…
In all of them I learnt something new
Ah chicks! I always had my gift for chatting up
I remember where we used to jam
Hey chica bonita, a dónde vas?

Hey pretty girl! May you come along?
Tonight I'm on fire!" (fire, fire, fire, fire)
I know you can read my mind
Tonight I'm on fire" (fire, fire, fire, fire)
Are you up for playing up all night long
Doing the yyyyiiiiiiiihhhhaaaaaa!!!

So come on! This is life!
Listen Tic tac tic tac tic tac, time goes by!
But I've tried to make the most of it
I know Mmm… yes, I did…




So don't be a fool, fool, fool my friend
Live it up and enjoy yourself

The lyrics are peppered with the singer's once-successful flirting lines, "Hey chica bonita, a dónde vas?" and "Hey pretty girl! May you come along? Tonight I'm on fire!". The singer recalls jamming with friends, and the song ends on a high note with the line, "So don't be a fool, fool, fool my friend, live it up and enjoy yourself".


Overall, the song Carpe Diem urges the listener to seize the day and make the most of it before it's too late. The lyrics are tinged with nostalgia, but the message is to move forward and create new memories.
