Review

His song was written by the singer Kevin Johansen originally in 2004.

But since he did several versions of it. This is the one that did with Natalia Lafourcade for his album Kevin Johansen + Liniers presentan (Bi)vo En Mexico.

These lyrics are full of his unique humor, a lot of innocent ironies. He talks about the perks of being single, but in a sense, we end up thinking that maybe he is being a little too optimistic. Maybe life is not that perfect since they lost each other.

The lyrics weren´t too difficult to translate, but the Lingo Script part was much more complicated.

In the music video, we can see them performing this song live with the audience. And we can also see the artist performer Liniers draw live while they sing.
