La Ley de La Vida
Fito Páez
The Law of Life
We all set fire to the log of love
sometimes it works out and many times it doesn't.
We did so many dirty things for no reason
and it was inevitable, we broke our hearts.
But morning comes just the same
people get up early,
some more, some less
it's the law of life, you can't stop it.
We were all put on the road of pain,
a bug that walks ends up on the grill.
We were two strangers, that's how it all started
we went around in circles and in the end, I don't know who you are.
Let's dive into the sea,
the moon shines on the water, it's hot on the beach.
You’re surfing the waves that fate gives you.
And even though we lost the signal today
that's the law of life, it's a Russian roulette
made of lime and sand, of beginning and end.
More confusion every day, a scandalous prison
a jungle without compassion, made of mystery and betrayal.
We stabbed each other, babe, from behind,
let it bleed! The best thing is to forget.
Take off the mask, baby, let’s stop acting
what really heals the wounds is to love and sing.
This is the land of gold and sun,
blood, road, desert, and heat.
Between your karma and the law of retaliation
that's the law of life, my love.
I know I'm not Tiberius the twin nor you Caligula,
but I won't pick you up again in a Cadillac,
nor the dreams, babe, we were almost siblings
then over two thousand years passed
and today we're back in that same place.
