Review

The singer expresses in his song that no one knows what could happen in life because it is so changeable. He says that being with who he loves is the most important, but he still wonders about what she asks. He continues contrasting their expectations and wishing the best to her.

As in most of his songs, he makes us think a little bit further, and this especially makes me appreciate what I have now in my life.

Grammatically, this song allows Spanish learners to see different contexts when talking about Being able. With words like Puede and, of course, a lot of imperatives like Vuelve, Vuela. Etc.

The song does not relate much to the music; it only shows the singer and two girls hanging around in an airport.
