The phrase comes from Seguir Viviendo Sin Tu Amor, the well known song by Argentine rock musician Luis Alberto Spinetta, released in 1991 as the opening track of his album Peluson of Milk. Its opening line became one of the most quoted refrains in Spanish language rock, sung at concerts and shared widely online. Short excerpts later circulated as reaction audio on soundboards and social video, where the lament is now used both sincerely for heartbreak and ironically for minor daily difficulties.
