Los Caminos de La Vida

Ichi kanu io Ta'u yo
Yíí xáa keentaa yo

Hey!

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

Because my dear mother is already tired
Of working in life and for me
And now, with pleasure, it's my turn to help her
And for my mother, I will fight until the end

I will fight for her until I die
And for her, I will not die
Nor will my dear mother die
But what can I do if destiny is like this

Ichi kanu ioo ta' u yo
Ti jínina jáa súaa ioo
Yíi xáa keen taa yo
Yíi xáa cuáa yo

Ichi kanu ioo ta' u yo
Ti jínina jáa súaa ioo
Yíi xáa keen taa yo
Yíi xáa cuáa yo

Because one must fight for everything in life
But from you, that's what you taught me

One knows that life
Suddenly must end
That 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 was not enough for him

That's why 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 sufferings
And that all torment stays away from her
That she had to go through to raise me

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
