Cuando La Vida Sea Trago

Carin Leon's 'Cuando La Vida Sea Trago' is a candid reflection on the artist's self-acknowledged rebellious nature and the acceptance of his true self, despite societal expectations. The song begins with Leon describing himself as a source of worry for his mother and a black sheep within his family, indicating a history of nonconformity and troublemaking from a young age. He admits to being a headache for mothers-in-law and acknowledges his penchant for mischief and defiance.

The chorus of the song reveals a deeper layer of Leon's personality. He apologizes to those he may have offended by his womanizing ways, attributing his behavior to a love for chaos ('desmadre') since his youth. He asserts that only those who have the right to judge him will see him in the cemetery, implying that he does not concern himself with the judgment of the living. The phrase 'cuando la vida sea trago' suggests that when life becomes difficult or challenging, he takes it seriously, contrasting with his otherwise carefree demeanor.

Leon's lyrics also touch on the theme of unapologetic individuality. He states that he did not come to be a role model and is content with being a 'bad boy,' despite his mother's hopes for him to be a good man. He resists attempts to change him, emphasizing that he is happy with who he is. The song is a declaration of self-acceptance and a rejection of societal pressures to conform to a certain standard of behavior, especially in the context of traditional expectations.
