The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Vida" by Ricardo Arjona.
Lyrics
Yo nací de amor y comadrona
en la misma cama de mama
por una cuestión de cromosomas
fui el varón que quiso mi papa.
Mi viejo era el profe de la escuela
mi mama el sargento del lugar
yo era su boceto en acuarela
el tercero y último en llegar.
Vi tantas lunas
que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
tantas vacunas
para lograr sobrevivir.
Aprendí a correr una mañana
antes de aprender a caminar
un teniente entro por la ventana
y a todos nos dio por escapar.
Brasil fue campeón en el `70
y en la radio Pol decía ei you
el gol de pele en cámara lenta
y el cigarro entraba en el menú
Vi tantas lunas
que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
tantas vacunas
para lograr sobrevivir.
Conocí el amor con la vecina
y también alguna enfermedad
el doctor mandó penicilina
el amor cobró con soledad
Fui maestro y fui universitario
golfo, cara dura y sobrador
mientras el cabrón del calendario
no te hace jamás ningún favor.
Vi tantas lunas
que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
tantas vacunas
para lograr sobrevivir.
Le pongo play a mi cerebro
para ver lo que un día fui
Vida
Porque se acabara la vida
te ves jugando a la escondida
y al voltear preguntas
Vida
porque caucara la vida
aprendes a decir que tal
y despedida y dices
Vida
porque se acabara la vida
te ves jugando a la escondida
y al voltear preguntas
Vida
porque caucara la vida
aprendes a decir que tal
y despedida y gritas
Vida
Recibí el 2000 con pirotecnia
ya no rento ni padezco soledad
desde el parto ya comparto la epidemia
de este síndrome de la caducidad
Lyrics translation
I was born of love and midwife
in the same breast bed
for a matter of chromosomes
I was the man my dad wanted.
My old man was the school teacher.
my mom, the local sergeant.
I was his watercolor sketch
third and last to arrive.
I saw so many moons
that today I don't know if I am or was
so many vaccines
to survive.
I learned to run one morning
before learning to walk
a lieutenant came in through the window.
and he gave us all to escape.
Brazil was champion in the `70s
and on the radio Pol said ei you
pele's goal in slow motion
and the cigar was on the menu
I saw so many moons
that today I don't know if I am or was
so many vaccines
to survive.
I knew the love with the neighbor
and also some disease
the doctor sent penicillin
love charged with loneliness
I was a teacher and I was a college student
Gulf, hard face and sobrador
while the fucking calendar
he never does you any favors.
I saw so many moons
that today I don't know if I am or was
so many vaccines
to survive.
I play my brain
to see what I once was
Life
Because life will end
you see yourself playing hide and seek
and when flipping questions
Life
because caucara life
you learn how to say that
and farewell and you say
Life
because life will end
you see yourself playing hide and seek
and when flipping questions
Life
because caucara life
you learn how to say that
and farewell and shouting
Life
I received the 2000 with pyrotechnics
I no longer rent or suffer loneliness
since childbirth I already share the epidemic
symptoms of this syndrome of expiration
