De Vez En Cuando La Vida
Joan Manuel Serrat
Every Now and Then Life
Every now and then life kisses us on the mouth
And unfolds in colors like an atlas
It takes us for a walk through the streets on air
And we feel in good hands
It fits our size, matches our pace
And pulls a rabbit out of the old top hat
And one is happy like a child
When leaving school
Every now and then life has coffee with me
And looks so beautiful that it's a pleasure to see her
She lets her hair down and invites me
To go out with her on stage
Every now and then life presents itself to us naked
And gives us such an elusive dream
That we must tiptoe around it
So as not to break the spell
Every now and then life fine-tunes with the brush
Our skin bristles
And words are lacking to name what it offers
To those who know how to use it
Every now and then life plays a trick on us
And we wake up not knowing what's happening
Sucking on a stick sitting
On a pumpkin
