A Medio Vivir Meaning & Lyrics (Ricky Martin & Carín León)
Ricky Martin waits in the same place, unchanged by time. He states that without their partner, everything remains incomplete. The song describes breathing with only one lung, turning pain into a physical sensation. This captures the struggle of moving forward.
Después De Tanto Tiempo Que Ha Pasado Te Parecerá MentiraAfter all the time that’s passed, it’ll seem like a lie,
Pero No Me AcostumbroBut I’m just not used to it.
Parece Como Hubiera Sido Ayer Ese Primer Día QueIt feels like only yesterday, that very first day,
Nos Vimos DesnudosThat we saw each other naked.
Y Siempre PenséAnd I always thought,
La Vida Debe De ContinuarThat life has to go on,
Pero Sin TiBut without you,
Todo Se Quedó Por La MitadEverything was left in half.
A Medio VivirLiving by halves,
A Medio SentirFeeling by halves,
Y Se Me Pasa La VidaAnd life is passing me by,
Y No Encuentro Salida Sin Ti AhAnd I can’t find a way out without you, ah.
Después De Tanto Tiempo Que Ha Pasado Aún Te Espero Como SiempreAfter all this time that’s passed, I still wait for you like always,
En El Mismo SitioIn the same place.
Aún Así Logro Sentir Tu Pecho Presionado Con El MíoEven now, I can feel your chest pressed against mine,
Y Tus LatidosAnd your heartbeat.
Y Cada VezAnd each time,
Se Me Hace Más Difícil Cada VezIt gets harder for me every time,
Y Es Que Sin TiIt’s just that without you,
Todo Se Quedó Por La MitadEverything was left in half.
Ah A Medio VivirAh, living by halves,
A Medio SentirFeeling by halves,
Y Se Me Pasa La VidaAnd life is passing me by,
Y No Encuentro Salida Sin Ti AhAnd I can’t find a way out without you, ah.
Llevamos Mucho Tiempo Hablando Y No Te Seguiré Aburriendo MásWe’ve been talking for a long time, and I won’t bore you anymore,
Con Mi DiscursoWith my speech.
Solo Te Llamaba Por Saber Si Por Si Acaso Tú TambiénI only called to know if, just by chance, you also,
NecesitabasNeeded this.
No Está De MásIt doesn’t hurt,
Hablar De Vez En Cuando No Está De MásTo talk every now and then, it doesn’t hurt,
Y Es Que Sin TiIt’s just that without you,
Respiro Con Un Solo PulmónI breathe with only one lung.
Y Es Que Sin TiIt’s just that without you,
