Summary and Interpretation of the Lyrics:

"Enrique Iglesias, Maria Becerra - ASI ES LA VIDA" is a heartfelt Latin pop duet that explores the unpredictable and complex nature of life and love. The lyrics compare life to a high-stakes poker game, where one must risk everything, symbolizing the ups and downs of a romantic relationship. Despite challenges, the song emphasizes the enduring strength of love, which remains unshaken by external opinions or obstacles. The chorus highlights the couple’s resilience, declaring that their bond is stronger than any criticism or judgment they face. The song also touches on themes of sacrifice, vulnerability, and the pursuit of happiness, encapsulated in metaphors like "sal y limón en la herida" (salt and lemon in the wound) and the search for the "fruta prohibida" (forbidden fruit).

How Does It Make You Feel?
