Colombian superstar Karol G has released her new song ‘Milagros’ (‘Miracles’), a powerful and deeply personal anthem that celebrates everyday blessings, resilience through hardship, and the spiritual journey of self-discovery. The single arrives alongside the premiere of her new documentary Mañana Fue Muy Bonito, which debuted on Thursday, May 8. The film offers an intimate look behind the scenes of her massively successful Mañana Será Bonito tour, deepening the emotional resonance of the song and giving fans a fuller picture of the artist’s journey.
A Celebration of Life’s Simple Blessings
From the opening lines, Karol G sets the tone with gratitude: “Vivo la vida mía como si fuera el último día / Me despierto siempre con alegría.”
(«I live my life as if it were the last day / I always wake up with joy.»)
The lyrics highlight the beauty in routine moments—hot coffee, a cold shower, a kiss for her mother still asleep. These small acts are framed as sacred rituals, and the chorus echoes the song’s core message: “What more miracles do I need than to be breathing?”

Faith, Purpose, and Intuition as Guides
Throughout “Milagros,” Karol G explores her spiritual connection and trust in her intuition. She sings about lighting candles, praying for health and protection, and following the direction of her heart: “Sigo caminando en la dirección que está diciéndome el corazón / Llevo como brújula mi intuición.” («I keep walking in the direction my heart tells me / I carry my intuition like a compass.»)
This perspective reflects a deepening of Karol G’s lyrical voice—less about external validation and more about personal mission, healing, and emotional growth.
The song doesn’t shy away from acknowledging pain: “A veces la vida se pone dura, toca navegar el bote a oscuras.” («Sometimes life gets hard, and you have to sail the boat in the dark.»)
Karol G poetically addresses grief, uncertainty, and emotional wounds, but instead of presenting them as obstacles, she frames them as sources of strength. She reflects on the loneliness of ambition (“Many want to reach the top without knowing how cold it is up there”), while embracing the guidance of the moon and her own vulnerability as part of her journey.
At its heart, “Milagros” is a meditation on the everyday sacred. It’s not just about Karol G’s personal story—it’s about a universal truth: that simply waking up, breathing, and being loved are miracles in themselves. With a soulful tone and poetic lyricism, the song invites listeners to slow down, appreciate life’s simple joys, and stay grounded in gratitude, no matter what challenges lie ahead.

‘Milagros’: Lyrics in English
I live my life like it’s the last day
I always wake up with joy—a hot coffee, a cold shower
A kiss for mom while she’s still sleeping
Don’t wake up, my love, just keep dreaming (Just keep dreaming)
Every time I get up, I realize how blessed I am
I go through the world doing my thing, clearing paths and healing wounds
Leaving seeds along the edges
Of every heart that’s listening to me (That’s listening to me)
What more miracles
Than just breathing?
What more miracles do I need, my love
Than feeling your hand in mine?
I keep walking in the direction my heart tells me
My intuition is my compass, and my mission gets clearer each time
Confusion visits from time to time
But the motivation to make it happen never fades (Make it happen)
Each day, the connection grows stronger with the one who sends me blessings
I light a candle, say a prayer—for my life and for my people
May I have good health, may God protect me
Because at home, I’ve got someone who’s waiting for me (Who’s waiting for me)
Sometimes life gets hard—you have to steer the boat in the dark
Sometimes I see everything in black and white—the landscape doesn’t always come with color
There are things that even time can’t heal, but the wounds only make me tougher
So many people chasing the top without knowing how cold it gets up there
I learned to value the night, became friends with someone called the moon
Who reminds me not to forget that life is a gift
That I should accept myself—my mistakes, my fears, my doubts
But still walk with confidence
What more miracles
Than just breathing?
What more miracles do I need, my love
Than feeling your hand in mine?
I keep walking in the direction my heart tells me
My intuition is my compass, and my mission gets clearer each time
Confusion visits from time to time
But the motivation to make it happen never fades (Make it happen)
Each day, the connection grows stronger with the one who sends me blessings
I light a candle, say a prayer—for my life and for my people
May I have good health, may God protect me
Because at home, I’ve got someone who’s waiting for me (Who’s waiting for me)
