In Ayer La Vi by Don Omar, the singer reflects on the pain of a woman who has been abandoned and is now drowning her sorrows in alcohol. He questions who could have done this to such a beautiful person, and blames the person who left her for her suffering. He also laments that no one should let a beautiful flower die or a princess be without her castle, and that the person who left her should have seen the beauty within her. The song ultimately serves as a reminder that no one should be left to suffer alone.

Yesterday I saw her out there drinking
Wanting to die, crying
Who did that to her, so beautiful
Who drowns her dreams in that bottle today
You left and left her crying in a corner
And here I am still begging for her kisses
How could she not see what's inside
She no longer wants to love, what can I do
It was all your fault for leaving her crying
And here I am still begging for her kisses
How could you not see what's inside
She no longer wants to love, what can I do
No one lets such a beautiful flower die
Nor leaves a damsel without a castle
Who descended from the sky, such a beautiful star
She was paid with suffering and now she doesn't shine
No one lets such a beautiful flower die
Nor leaves a damsel without a castle
Who descended from the sky, such a beautiful star
She was paid with suffering and now she doesn't shine
It was all your fault for leaving her crying
And here I am still begging for her kisses
How could you not see what's inside
She no longer wants to love, what can I do
It was all your fault for leaving her crying
And here I am still begging for her kisses
How could you not see what's inside
She no longer wants to love, what can I do
If now she cries alone, alone, all alone the sorrows of love
That wither its leaves
Now she cries alone, alone, all alone the sorrows of love
That wither its leaves
It was all your fault for leaving her crying
And here I am still begging for her kisses
How could you not see what's inside
She no longer wants to love, what can I do
Yesterday I saw her out there drinking
Wanting to die, crying
Who did that to her, so beautiful
Who drowns her dreams in that bottle
