Los Caminos de La Vida

The paths of life
Are not as I thought
As I imagined them
They are not as I believed

The paths of life
Are very difficult to walk
Difficult to tread
I can't find the way out

I thought life was different
When I was little I believed
That things were as easy as yesterday

That my dear mother worked hard
To give me everything I needed
And today I realize it's not that way

Because my mother is tired
Of working for my siblings and me
And now I gladly help her
And I will fight for my mother until the end

I will fight for her until I die
And I don't want to die for her
Nor do I want my mother to die
But what can I do if destiny is like this

The paths of life
Are not as I thought
As I imagined them
They are not as I believed

The paths of life
Are very difficult to walk
Difficult to tread
And I can't find the way out

One knows that life
May suddenly end
And one hopes it's late
That the farewell arrives

A friend told me
I will repay my parents
For the upbringing they gave me
And life didn't last long enough

So I ask you, my God in heaven
To guide me to the right path
To compensate my beautiful mother
So she forgets that sea of suffering
And that all torment stays away from her
That she had to go through to raise us

Sweet mother, you have to understand me
Don't worry, everything will change
I suffer a lot, dear mother, seeing you
In need and I can't give you
Sometimes I cry feeling powerless
There are so many things I want to give you
And I will fight tirelessly
Because you don't deserve to suffer anymore

The paths of life
Are not as I thought
As I imagined them
They are not as I believed

(The paths of life)
(Are not as I thought)
I used to imagine
That the way out was easy

(The paths of life)
(Are not as I thought)
But that wasn't my case
I almost lost my life

(The paths of life)
(Are not as I thought)
We must live for love
Because time is running out

They are so difficult to walk
(The paths of life)

Sometimes you think there's no way out

(The paths of life)
Have faith and you will triumph

(They are not of roses)
(They are not of thorns)
That's how the paths of life are

(They are not of roses)
(They are not of thorns)
They give, they take
They take and they give

(They are not of roses)
(They are not of thorns)
Give me God a long life
To help my mom

(They are not of roses)
(They are not of thorns)
She deserves happiness
