Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quizás no lo sea mañana
he ahí el valor del momento
he ahí el presente perfecto
la oportunidad de llegar, tu verás si te montas en ella
agárrate fuerte, y ya no te sueltes
ríe, llora que a cada cual le llega su hora
ríe, llora vive tu vida y gozala toda
Ese es el perdón, recordar sin dolor
¡Ayy!, agárrate fuerte, y ya no te sueltes
ríe, llora que a cada cual le llega su hora
ríe, oh, oh, llora vive tu vida y gozala toda, toda, toda.
¡Ay! Agárrate fuerte... Y ya no te sueltes.
ríe, llora que a cada cual le llega su hora
ríe, ríe, oh, oh, oh, llora, vive tu vida y gozatela gozatela, goza, ríe, llora que está chiquita no pasa de moda.
The lyrics to Raquel Sofia's song "Rie y Llora" (Laugh and Cry) speak to the transience of life and the importance of embracing the present moment. The opening lines suggest that what might be good today could be different tomorrow, emphasizing the value of seizing the moment rather than waiting for something better to come along. The chorus encourages the listener to laugh and cry because everyone has their own time to experience joy and pain in life. The verses continue to highlight the relative nature of life, with the line "Todo es tan relativo, no es que recuerde, si no que no olvido" roughly translating to "Everything is so relative, it's not that I remember, but that I don't forget." The song ends with a repeated exhortation to hold on tight and not let go, to laugh and cry, and to live life to the fullest.
Overall, "Rie y Llora" is a song about embracing life and all the ups and downs that come with it. It encourages listeners to hold on tight to the moment, to not dwell on the past, and to find peace in the knowledge that everyone has their own time to experience both joy and pain in life.
