Vivimos Lo Nuestro

The song "Vivimos Lo Nuestro" by Los Inquietos del Vallenato, a Colombian Vallenato group known for their romantic ballads, delves into the complexities of a forbidden love affair. The lyrics express the emotional turmoil and moral dilemma faced by two individuals who are involved with other partners but find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. The song captures the essence of their struggle as they grapple with the intensity of their feelings and the consequences of their actions.

The narrative of the song is a candid confession of the illicit relationship, highlighting the confusion and guilt that accompanies their secret encounters. The repeated questioning of whether they should continue to love, cherish, and be enamored with each other underscores the uncertainty and fear of the pleasure turning into pain. The lovers are acutely aware that their affair is wrong and that it is causing harm to their respective partners, who are described as being deeply in love with them.

Despite the clear understanding that their relationship is inappropriate and hurtful to others, the song conveys a sense of helplessness in the face of their emotions. The refrain about memories living on in the mind suggests a deep emotional connection that is difficult to sever. The song ends on a note of unresolved tension, with the acknowledgment that a solution must be found, even if it brings pain, to end the situation that is damaging to all involved.
