Embracing Life's Forbidden Paths
The song 'Vivar' by Fun People delves into the theme of living life to its fullest, even if it means making mistakes and breaking the rules. The lyrics reflect a journey of self-discovery and the acceptance of one's past actions, regardless of societal norms or expectations. The protagonist admits to doing things they shouldn't have done and going places they shouldn't have gone, yet they find a sense of liberation and understanding in these experiences. The repetition of 'vivir' (to live) emphasizes the importance of embracing life in all its forms, including the mistakes and the forbidden paths taken.
The line 'Lo prohibido lo probé, lo bebí y lo sufrí' (I tried the forbidden, I drank it and I suffered) suggests a willingness to explore the unknown and face the consequences head-on. This exploration is not without its pain, but it is also a crucial part of the protagonist's growth and understanding of life. The mention of suffering indicates that these experiences, while challenging, are valuable and contribute to the richness of life.
The song also touches on the idea of camaraderie and shared experiences, as seen in the line 'Me junté con los que no, con los que no tenía que estar' (I joined those I shouldn't have been with). This suggests that the protagonist found a sense of belonging and connection with others who were also on the fringes of societal norms. The final toast to life, 'Y a lo que viví, salud!' (And to what I lived, cheers!), encapsulates the essence of the song – a celebration of life in all its messy, beautiful, and unpredictable glory.
