You know, it's been a while since we talked

I have so much to tell you

Something important has happened

I reset the counter to zero

You know, it was like a giant wave

It wiped out everything and left me naked in front of the sea

But you know, I know well what it is to live

There's no time to hate anybody

Now I know how to laugh

Maybe it had to happen

It's not fair, but only this way does one learn to appreciate

And if I get up and look at the sky

I give thanks and devote my time to whoever I love

Whatever doesn't add to me, away

If someone stops my feet

I would learn to fly

And if I look at everything like kids

The colors are intense

I'll get out of here if I believe it so

When they look at me they'll know that it's my turn to be happy

You know, I've gone through a lot of fear

This bug is an abyss

My body gets tired

My soul breaks and I start to cry

But you know

I've learned so, so much

This life offered me a new opportunity

And now, you know?, I know well what it is to live

There's no time to hate anybody

Now I know how to laugh

Maybe it had to happen

It's not fair, but only this way does one learn to appreciate

And if I get up and look at the sky

I give thanks and devote my time to whoever I love

Whatever doesn't add to me, away

If someone stops my feet

I would learn to fly

And if I look at everything like a child

The colors are intense

I'll get out of here if I believe it so

When they look at me they'll know that it's my turn to be happy

It's my turn to be happy

Now I'm happy

Because I know well what it is to live

Now yes indeed

abismo — abyss

Abismo translates to "abyss" or "chasm". It's a strong and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of something vast, deep, and potentially terrifying.

In the context of the song, the artist uses it to describe the overwhelming and frightening experience of illness: "Este bicho es un abismo" (This bug/illness is an abyss). This metaphorical use highlights the profound and consuming nature of the struggle, making it a powerful and memorable choice.

Vivir is Rozalén’s radiant love letter to life. In the lyrics she tells a friend, “Sabes, hace tiempo que no hablamos,” and then recounts how a colossal wave knocked everything down and left her “desnuda frente al mar.” That wave can be illness, heartbreak, or any crisis, yet the singer decides to hit the reset button and start from zero. She feels fear, pain, and exhaustion, but she also discovers a brand-new power: the ability to laugh, to give thanks, and to pour her time into the people who truly matter.

The chorus is a manifesto of resilience: if someone blocks her path, she will learn to fly; if she looks at the world through a child’s eyes, colors become brighter. “Lo que no me aporte, lejos,” she sings, pushing negativity aside and declaring that now she finally knows what living means. By the end, she repeats “Me toca ser feliz,” turning survival into celebration. The song is both a personal diary and an invitation for us all to reset, cherish the present, and choose joy—because that is what it really means to vivir.
