Lyrics

Yo canto las canciones
que los pueblos necesitan
Y les digo que la vida es bonita.
Coro:
Vivir…
sin sentir verguenza de vivir feliz.
Cantar…
y aunque todos se opongan tratar de reir.
Yo s…
que la calle esta dura pero ya cambiar
por eso nada impide que repita
«que la vida es bonita y es bonita»
ЎAy! hermano,
Ўay hermano!, charlemos de la verdad,
conversemos a hora que los nios no estn
y en cualquier momento pueden reqresar.
Ay! hermano,
ay hermano, decime їpor qu razn
cuando un nio pregunta cmo es el amor
hay un puo que aprieta mi corazn?
їDnde estan esos viejos poetas
que hablaban de amores?
їDnde estan las mujeres
que soaban con flores?
їDonde estn las canciones alegres
que el pueblo cantaba?
Solamente se hablaba de amor
y vivan un poco mejor.
Pero siento que est por cambiar
que la gente se quiere abrazar
y que vuelve a crecer la esperanza
que siempre se alcanza mirando hacia Dios.
Yo quisiera dejarle a los nios
un mundo de dicha de paz y de amor
y que miren de frente al futuro
por un mundo que viva mejor.
Ay! ay! ay! hermano, tomensen las manos
y cantemos fuerte, cambiar la suerte.
Ay! ay! ay! hermano, conmigo repitan
cantemos las canciones que los pueblos necesitan
si la vida es bonita y es bonita.
Coro…

Lyrics translation

I sing the songs
that peoples need
And I tell you, life is beautiful.
Choir:
Live…
without feeling ashamed to live happily.
Sing…
and even if everyone opposes trying to laugh.
I s…
that the street is hard but already change
that's why nothing prevents me from repeating
"that life is beautiful and it is beautiful»
YAy! brother,
Yay brother! let's talk about the truth,
let's talk at a time when the kids aren't
and at any time they can reqresar.
Ay! brother,
Oh brother, tell me why razn
when a child asks What Love is
is there a poo that squeezes my heart?
where are those old poets
that they were talking about love?
where are the women
what sounded like flowers?
where are the merry songs
that the people sang?
There was only talk of love
and live a little better.
But I feel like it's about to change.
that people want to hug
and that Hope grows again
that is always reached by looking to God.
I'd like to leave it to the kids.
a world of happiness of peace and love
and look to the future
for a world that lives better.
Ay! ay! ay! brother, take your hands
and let's sing loud, change our luck.
Ay! ay! ay! brother, repeat with me
let us sing the songs that the peoples need
if life is beautiful and it is beautiful.
Choir…
