Esta Es La Vida

Silvio Rodriguez Silvio Rodriguez

This Is Life

This one that sings if the spirit comes out
and makes silence where it no longer exists,
this is the life that surprises me,
this is the life that gave birth to me.

This is life,
this is the beloved salt
that enjoys, that bleeds my love.
This is my dust and my flower
and my rain, lightning, gust of wind:
this is my cross
and the nourishment
of my light.

This is the life that enchants me,
this is the life that gives me a voice:
the one that scolds when it gets stuck,
the one that doesn't even excuse God:

courage that has known how to love while crying,
courage that has wanted to sing the truth,
courage that has known how to die while walking,
courage prisoner of freedom.

This is life,
this is the beloved salt
that enjoys, that bleeds my love.
This is my dust and my flower
and my rain, lightning, gust of wind:
this is my cross
and the nourishment
of my light.
