La Vida (Respira El Momento)
Calle 13
Life (Breathe the Moment)
One is born while the planet spins
Lungs open, nose breathes in
We listen to the world with all its commotion
Eyelids rise and eyes take photos
If we leave the cradle to sleep in bed
Our arms grow like branches grow
Like leaves grow, our hands grow
Like days grow when dawn breaks early
Seconds, minutes, and hours
Germinate just as days begin and end
Months disguise themselves according to the meridian
Autumn, winter, spring, summer
And the path adjusts to our steps
Just as water adapts to its glass
Our heart acclimates to the altitude
And we adapt to any adventure
They can add in haste, they can subtract calmly
It doesn't matter because mathematics have no soul
Even if we calculate everything and give it a proper name
Our spirit cannot be seen by microscopes
No one can be cowardly, we were born brave
Because to breathe is to risk
This is the moment to seize the momentum
Our pulse narrates the emotions
Breathe the moment
Breathe the moment
In our galaxy, history expands
From the simplest to the largest
We grew alongside celestial bodies
We are the north, south, east, and west
We are the earth with all its marks
A supernova among all the stars
We absorb the light of the rays
While chlorophyll navigates through the stems
Degrees and centigrade heat the thermometers
At 150 million kilometers
There's a Milky Way full of neurons
Because we reproduce more ideas than people
We are not small, nor very large
We are many and also few
We are the impact when it lands
And we are also the skin when it heals
Death never defeated us
Because everything that dies
Is because it was born once
Tongue, kiss, mouth, lip, child, young, old, wise
Bald, curly, straight hair, roof, house, sky, space
Sex, orgasm gets wet
Maybe never always sometimes
Book, letter, story tells rum with ice or drink bar
3 million heartbeats in a monthly period
We walk taking 10 thousand steps on a normal day
Raw, boiled, roasted, fried, war, church, prayer, shout
Very little too much, I run, fly, jump, swim
The climax of biology may come one day
Living with warm blood to die in cold blood
Breathe the moment
Breathe the moment
In our galaxy, history expands
From the simplest to the largest
