La Vida
Alberto Cortez
Life
Life arrives, life goes away
Like a wheel that spins and spins
Distributing fertility
Misfortune and happiness
Inexhaustible from its source, life
Arrives suddenly and enters without knocking
When it leaves, it doesn't say where it goes
It's the border of eternity, life
I like the morning air
When it comes through the window
And reminds me every dawn
That I'm still alive as much as yesterday
That I have the whole world to have life
And that the things around me
Are a consequence of what I am
That everyone gets what they deserve... life
Wings grow on me when your warm and loving hand
Takes my hand
And I no longer fear to fly
Nor bindings to release
Because of your tenderness and way of giving life
And then I resist believing
That I can hold in my hands
In a brief form of a woman, life
I keep my soul full of crickets
I have marbles in my pockets
And I wouldn't trade them for the freedom
Masked in solemnity
With which power tries to control life
We are only free because of love
Free and eternal because of love
It's worth nothing if not for love... life
We are only free because of love
Free and eternal because of love
It's worth nothing if not for love... life
We are only free because of love
Free and eternal because of love
It's worth nothing if not for love... life
