“La Vida Y Sus Cosas” finds Puerto Rican artist Jay Wheeler in an honest heart-to-heart with his partner. Over a smooth urban beat he admits that arguments, jealousy and hurtful words can push them out of their “vibra.” Yet instead of pointing fingers, he repeats the song’s powerful refrain: “No eres tú ni soy yo, es la vida y sus cosas.” In other words, the real enemy is life’s unpredictable twists, not the love they share.
The chorus invites us to “ver lo gris y pintarlo de rosa”—to take the gray moments and color them pink. Wheeler reminds listeners that time is precious, so rather than wasting it on blame, they should protect the bond that pulled them together in the first place. The song blends vulnerability with optimism, offering a relatable lesson: relationships stay strong when both people choose patience, empathy and a splash of bright imagination to transform everyday problems into opportunities for deeper connection.
