On August 30, the prestigious Italian tenor AndreaBocelli surprised everyone by releasing a new version of one of his most famous hits, ‘Vivo Por Ella’(I Live For Her). He did so alongside the most powerful Latina star of the moment, Karol G, who has broken all records in the industry following the release of her history-making album Mañana Será Bonito (2023).
This surprised the public in many ways, primarily because this is a version of the original song (Vivo Per Lei) that Bocelli first sang with the Spanish singer MartaSánchez in 1996. The comparison between the vocal techniques of both artists has sparked some controversy on social media, though both have expressed admiration for each other online.
“Congratulations Karol on this fantastic collaboration with my dear Andrea Bocelli. I hope it brings you as much joy as it brought me,” Sánchez wrote, receiving a grateful response from the Colombian singer.
Undoubtedly, this new version of ‘Vivo Por Ella’ has touched Karol’s fans and her family, as the artist herself shared a video on her Instagram profile of her mother, Marta Navarro, getting emotional while watching the song’s music video.
‘Vivo Por Ella’ personifies music as a woman, whom both singers deeply love and live for. Throughout the song, «ella» (she) becomes the center of their lives, giving them purpose and a reason to move forward.
The lyrics express how music accompanies them in difficult moments and gives them strength, being a constant and essential presence in their lives. It’s a relationship of dependence and love, where music is more than just a profession; it’s a passion that gives meaning to their existence.

In summary, ‘Vivo Por Ella’ is an ode to music, describing how this artistic and emotional influence becomes the central pillar in the lives of those who love and perform it.
‘Vivo Por Ella:’ ‘I Live For Her’
Andrea Bocelli
I live for her without knowing if I found her or she found me I no longer remember how it happened, but in the end, she conquered me I live for her, she gives me all my true strength I live for her and it doesn’t weigh on me
Karol G
I live for her, I do too Don’t get so jealous She is the sweetest among all and as warm as a kiss She is always by my side To soothe my loneliness More than for myself, I live for her too
Andrea Bocelli & Karol G
She is the muse that invites you To touch her softly On my piano, sometimes sad Death does not exist if she is here
I live for her, she gives me all the affection she has Sometimes she truly hits hard, but it’s a blow that doesn’t hurt
I live for her, she gives me all my true strength To feel a bit alive How it hurts when she’s missing I live for her in a hotel How she shines strong and bright I live for her in my own skin And she sings in my throat my darkest fears
Andrea Bocelli
I live for her and no one else Can live within me She gives me life, I live it If she is with me, if she is with me From a stage or against a wall
Andrea Bocelli & Karol G
I live for her to the limit In the darkest trance I live for her completely Each day is a conquest; she is the protagonist too I live for her because she always gives me a way out Because music is like that Faithful and sincere for life
I live for her, she gives me nights of love and freedom
If there were another life, I’d live it
For her, too Her name is «Music» I live for her, too
I live for her, believe me
