La Vida Ahora
Alexander Acha
Life Now
Life now
The old shelter of the earth
Each one in a room, in a story
Of lighter mornings
Skies overflowing with hope
And silences to listen to
And you will be surprised when you sing
Without knowing why
Life now
In the cool evenings
When sleep comes to you and the bells
Spinning among the clouds
And rain in your hair
And on the open coffee tables
And you will ask yourself 'Who are you?'
Yes, you, who are you?
Yes, you
Yes, you who give your heart
But the work is hard
To be a man and not know
What the future will be
Yes, you in the time that makes us great
Alone in the world
Longing to go searching together
For an even deeper good
And another that gives you respite and leans towards you
In that waiting for more, without really understanding what
And you who welcome my gaze
In this immense moment
Above the murmur of so many people
Tell me the meaning of this
Life now
In the tender air of an after-dinner
Children's mouths against the glass
And meadows that smooth out like cats
And stars clinging to eyes like lighthouses
And you will ask yourself: 'Where are you?'
Yes, you, where are you?
Yes, you
Yes, you who carry love
Through a hundred and a thousand streets
Because the journey has no end
Even if a dream fades
Yes, you who bring a new wind in your arms
As you come out to meet me
You will learn that to die
A sunset will be enough for you
And a joy that will bring melancholy to its friend
And in any night you find yourself
Even if it hurts, don't give up
Don't let a day go by
Without meeting in time
Child of an ancient and beautiful sky
Life is now
Now
It's now!
Life is now
