Vive (Mientras puedas)

Live, live while you can
Who assures you that you will still be here tomorrow?
Enjoy it now, it's all you have

Looking at photos from your childhood brings back memories
Far from the regret of the moment
Breathe slowly, something bad inside your body grows
Room three hundred and thirteen
Last stop that life offers
He hasn't thought about the future for a long time
To the hospital for terminal cancer safe diagnosis
It is your destiny and dust to dust
Life is a short road with no return, you see an obstacle
To the family and its balance, yes
Friends bring their best smile and flowers, they take glass eyes
Close to delirium, he asks them for a favor
Let them not spread the sadness of their departure and spread love around
He feels weak so small
He can only dream that someone can achieve all his dreams
His life was a fleeting step on the face of the earth
If I could go back I would go out and run through the grass!
Stop regretting every mistake you made
Knowing the world beyond the town from which he never left
But time is running out, he looks at you regretfully
He tells you, feel, feel, you who are still alive

Live while you can, what's the point of waiting so much?
Who tells you how much time is left?
He is now your gift, take advantage of it
There is something between the ground and the sky, enjoy it!

And just live while you can, what's the point of waiting so much?
Who tells you how much time is left?
He is now your gift, take advantage of it
There is something between the ground and the sky, enjoy it!

He never knew anything else, vice, pain, ganja
He grew up in a neighborhood where the light was always amber
Quiet boy, escaping the edge of icy violence
Watching neighbors dealing in the portal
His life is calm, he wakes up to go to school at dawn
Thirteen years old, many at his age already carry weapons
Code that rules the streets, he goes unnoticed
Hidden in the warmth of a scarf
Today he returns home on a grey October afternoon
When he discovers a dispute between two gangs, tension and anger
Indecipherable screams, looking for culprits
And in a second the fire opens up in rage
Without time to escape, he feels the resounding whistle
From an aimless bullet that hits his navel
Bleeding out between fragile heartbeats
He looks at you and says: Run, run, you who are still alive!

[Chorus]
Live while you can, what's the point of waiting so much?
Who tells you how much time is left?
He is now your gift, take advantage of it
There is something between the ground and the sky, enjoy it!

And just live while you can, what's the point of waiting so much?
Who tells you how much time is left?
He is now your gift, take advantage of it
There is something between the ground and the sky, enjoy it!

Misfortune never stopped her
He suffered to give his people the peace and luxuries he never had
Ama in her little house always smiled
Her little ones looked at her and said they loved her
Working tirelessly, he put soup on the table
Birthday, overtime and giving a surprise
That was the routine with no time for longing
What was I going to do cleaning the same floor for 30 years?
She saw her days pass by in a flash, alone without looking back
She lived for others, that's how she was educated
The doors of his heart soon closed
They kept quiet about so many disappointments that marked her

Their children grew up, they left
It's the law of life and I knew it, the house was empty
Nostalgia and photographs accompany her
Strange octogenarian in this life of technology
Now close to goodbye, he cries for his past
She knows that this fast-paced world has already abandoned her
She sees that time is running out and looks at you regretfully
He tells you: Love, love, you who are still alive
