The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La Vida No Vale Nada" by Chico Buarque.
Lyrics
La vida no vale nada
Si no es para perecer
Porque otros puedan tener
Lo que uno disfruta y ama.
La vida no vale nada
Si yo me quedo sentado
Despus que he visto y soado
Que en todas partes me llaman.
La vida no vale nada
Cuando otros se estn matando
Y yo sigo aqu cantando
Cual si no pasara nada.
La vida no vale nada
Si escucho un grito mortal
Y no es capaz de tocar
Mi corazn que se apaga.
La vida no vale nada
Si ignoro que el asesino
Cogi por otro camino
Y prepara otra celada.
La vida no vale nada
Si se sorprende a otro hermano
Cuando supe de antemano
Lo que se le preparaba.
La vida no vale nada
Si cuatro caen por minuto
Y al final por el abuso
Se decide la jornada.
La vida no vale nada
Si tengo que posponer
Otro minuto de ser
Y morirme en una cama.
La vida no vale nada
Si en fin lo que me rodea
No puedo cambiar cual fuera
Lo que tengo y que me ampara.
Y por eso para m La vida no vale nada.
Lyrics translation
Life is worth nothing
If not to perish
Because others may have
What you enjoy and love.
Life is worth nothing
If I sit
After I've seen and sounded
Everywhere they call me.
Life is worth nothing
When others are killing each other
And I keep singing here
Like if nothing happened.
Life is worth nothing
If I hear a deadly cry
And he's not able to touch
My heart goes out.
Life is worth nothing
If I don't know that the killer
I took another path
And set up another cover-up.
Life is worth nothing
If another brother is surprised
When I knew in advance
What was being prepared for him.
Life is worth nothing
If four fall per minute
And in the end for abuse
The day is decided.
Life is worth nothing
If I have to postpone
Another minute to be
And die in a bed.
Life is worth nothing
If at last what surrounds me
I can't change which one.
What I have and protect me.
And that's why life is worthless to me.
