History
Ricardo was born in the village of Jocotenango, near Antigua, Guatemala to Ricardo Arjona Moscoso and Noemí Morales de Arjona. When he was three years of age he and his family moved to Guatemala City.
He spent some time as a teacher at a rural primary school, where he reputedly said he spent three hours giving lessons and the rest of the day playing football. This earned him a visit from a Ministry of Education representative, who was sent to evaluate the level of education amongst Ricardo Arjona's pupils. The representative found that the students' level of education was actually above average.
Ricardo Arjona was a talented basketball player, and he played for the team Leones de Marte. He also toured Central America as a member of the Selección de básquetbol de Guatemala (Guatemala's National Basketball Team); until recently he held the record for the most points scored in a single game by a Guatemalan player.
Although he initially enrolled in architecture and engineering subjects, he eventually graduated with a degree from the School of Communication Sciences at the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala (USAC).
At USAC there is a library hall that bears his name. There is also a street named for him in his birthplace, Jocotenango, Guatemala.
Vivir Sin Ti
Ricardo Arjona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin mayor dificultad
Vivo por que me despierto
Como salgo y duermo
Por que juego al domino
Por que ha dicho mi doctor
Después de tomarme el pulso
Que mis signos vitales
Vivo por que aun respiro
Y por que salgo a caminar
Vivo por que así es la vida
Aunque hay que mencionar
Que vivir no es estar vivo
Vivir pa' mi eres tu
Vivir sin ti es posible
Sin mayor dificultad
Vivo por que tengo un nombre
Un numero de cuenta
Y mi carnet electoral
Vivo por que así le llaman
A ese combustible absurdo de moverse por ahí
Vivo como lo hacen todos
Vivo por que algunos creen que es abrir los ojos
Vivo aunque me muero a diario
Por que tu ya no estas
Y vivir no es estar vivo
Vivir pa' mi eres tu
Vivo
Sin ningún problema
Aunque cada instante
Muere sin valer la pena
Vivo
Por que sobrevivo
Por que aunque no quiera
Tengo que cargar conmigo
Vivo aunque le tengo miedo
A vivir muriendo, o a morir en vida
Vivir sin ti es posible
Sin mayor dificultad
Vivo por que se hace fácil respirar el aire
Y devolver las sobras
Vivo por que no hay manera
De negar que existo por ponerle un nombre
Vivo por inercia absurda
Vivo aunque no tengo ganas de añadirme a todos
Vivo aunque me muero a diario
Por que tu ya no estas
Y vivir no es estar vivo
Vivir pa' mi eres tu
Vivo
Sin ningún problema
Aunque cada instante
Muere sin valer la pena
Vivo
Por que sobrevivo
Por que aunque no quiera
Tengo que cargar conmigo
Vivo
Sin ningún problema
Aunque cada instante
Muere sin valer la pena
Vivo
Por que sobrevivo
Por que aunque no quiera
Tengo que cargar conmigo
Vivo aunque le tengo miedo
A vivir muriendo, o a morir en vida
The lyrics of Ricardo Arjona's song "Vivir Sin Tí Es Posible" describe life after a breakup. The verses suggest that the singer is able to continue living without their former partner, but they admit that it is not necessarily easy. The singer lists various reasons why they are able to go on living, such as waking up every day, playing dominoes, and having a pulse, but ultimately the chorus reveals that their reason for living has been taken away from them. The singer explains that "vivir" (to live) is not the same as "estar vivo"(to be alive), and that for them, living means living with their ex-partner. The song portrays a struggle to move on after a breakup and the difficulty of finding meaning in life without the person who was once the reason for living.
Overall, "Vivir Sin Tí Es Posible" is a reflection on the complexities of human emotions and the process of grieving a lost relationship. The song offers a poignant and honest portrayal of the ways in which people cope with heartbreak and continue to seek meaning in their lives.

Esta canción no es más que una triste burka. Se presta para muchas interpretaciones y al final no dice nada.
