Mi Vida

The speaker faces a loved one who has heard about his past. He admits that he lived without much restraint and had many partners, but asks not to be judged only by that history. The mood shifts from defensive and uneasy to earnest and reassuring: he says that, despite his past, he loves this person and will not make them suffer for it.

The repeated idea of having “rolled” from place to place suggests a restless, unsettled life rather than a steady one. “Fui de todo y sin medida” means he experienced many things without limits, giving his past a sense of excess. When he says the loved one will not “pay” for his former life, he uses the idea of paying a price metaphorically: the new partner should not bear the consequences of his old choices.

His promise is heartfelt, but the lyrics leave some uncertainty. He insists that his love is unshakable, while the warnings he has heard about returning to the past remain in the background. The song can therefore be read both as a sincere request for trust and as a speaker trying to convince someone—and perhaps himself—that he has changed.
