Vida de Rico – Lyrics Meaning in English – Camilo
In this song, the singer confesses his feelings to a woman and also admits that he doesn’t have much to offer her. He’s poor and can’t afford to take her on trips to Europe or buy her champagne, but he tells her he will work very hard to make that a reality one day.
Singer: Camilo
Yo puedo ofrecerte una vida muy interesante
Pero depende para ti qué es interesante
I can offer you a very interesting life
But it depends on what is interesting for you
Si estás pensando en discotecas, carros y diamantes
Entonces puede que pa’ ti sea insignificante
If you’re thinking of discos, cars and diamonds
Then it might be insignificant to you
No es vida de rico
Pero se pasa bien rico
Y si en la casa no alcanza
Pa’l aire, te pongo abanico
It’s not the life of the rich
But you spend it well rich
And if it doesn’t reach in the house
For air, I’ll bring you a fan
Yo no tengo pa’ darte ni un peso
Pero sí puedo darte mis besos
Pa’ sacarte yo tengo poquito
Pero es gratis bailar pega’ito’
I don’t even have a single peso to give you
But if I can give you my kisses
To take you out I have very little
But it’s free to dance with our bodies stuck together
Yo no tengo pa’ abrirte champaña
Pero sí cervecita en la playa
Aunque es poco lo que yo te ofrezco, con orgullo
Todo lo que tengo es tuyo
I don’t have champagne to open for you
But I do have beer on the beach
Although what I’m offering you is little, with pride
Everything I have is yours
Sería mentira decir que ahora mismo
Puedo darte el viaje que tú te mereces
No será Europa, pero el sol cayendo
Desde mi balcón medio se le parece
It would be a lie to say that right now
I can give you the trip you deserve
It won’t be Europe, but the sun falling
From my balcony seems mediocre
Y yo que tú no me acostumbraría
A estar aquí en estas cuatro paredes
Haría todo por comprarte un día
Casa con piscina si diosito quiere
And if I were you I wouldn’t get used to
Being here in these four walls
I would do everything to buy you one day
A house with a pool if God wills
Yo no tengo pa’ darte ni un peso
Pero sí puedo darte mis besos
Pa’ sacarte yo tengo poquito
Pero es gratis bailar pega’ito’
I don’t even have a single peso to give you
But if I can give you my kisses
To take you out I have very little
But it’s free to dance with our bodies stuck together
Yo no tengo pa’ abrirte champaña
Pero sí cervecita en la playa
Aunque es poco lo que yo te ofrezco, con orgullo
Todo lo que tengo es tuyo
I don’t have champagne to open for you
But I do have beer on the beach
Although what I’m offering you is little, with pride
Everything I have is yours
Aunque no es mucho
Es tuyo, tuyo, tuyo
Although it’s not a lot
It’s yours, yours, yours
No es vida de rico
Pero se pasa bien rico (se pasa bien rico)
Y si en la casa no alcanza
Pa’l aire, te pongo abanico
It’s not the life of the rich
But you spend it well rich
And if it doesn’t reach in the house
For air, I’ll bring you a fan
Yo no tengo pa’ darte ni un peso
Pero sí puedo darte mis besos
Pa’ sacarte yo tengo poquito
Pero es gratis bailar pega’ito’ (pega’ito’)
I don’t even have a single peso to give you
But if I can give you my kisses
To take you out I have very little
But it’s free to dance with our bodies stuck together
Yo no tengo pa’ abrirte champaña
Pero sí cervecita en la playa (ahí en la playa)
Aunque es poco lo que yo te ofrezco, con orgullo
Todo lo que tengo es tuyo
I don’t have champagne to open for you
But I do have beer on the beach
Although what I’m offering you is little, with pride
Everything I have is yours
