Oh Life

Ay La Vida

Oh life, how beautiful it is to live itAy la vida tan bonita que es vivirla
With love and share it as the creator commandsCon amor y compartirla como lo manda el creador
And you are taking it away from me, my heartY tú me la estás quitando corazón
And you are taking it away from me without reasonY tú me la estás quitando sin razón

Oh life, which was cheerful and funAy la vida que era alegre y divertida
With my heartfelt songsCon mis canciones sentidas
I lived like a hummingbirdVivía como un chupaflor
And now you are killing me with painY ahora tú me estás matando de dolor
With so much contempt and so much lack of loveCon tanto desprecio y tanto desamor

I go out very little to have fun at theMuy poco salgo a divertirme en las
PartiesParrandas
I don't feel like having a drink of rumNo me provoca tomarme un trago de ron
My friends often ask meYa mis amigos con frecuencia me reclaman
And even tell me I'm a crying foolY hasta me dicen que soy un tonto llorón
But they can't imagine, no sirPero es que no se imaginan, no señor
That I have a broken soul without your loveQue tengo el alma partida sin tu amor

Oh my life, tell me why so elusiveAy mi vida dime por qué tan esquiva
Why do you always hurt mePor qué siempre me lastimas
Without mercy, the heartSin clemencia el corazón
If you are the reason for my existenceSi tú eres de mi existencia la razón
I am worthy of pity without your loveSoy digno de condolencia sin tu amor

Oh my life, come heal my woundsAy mi vida ven a curar mis heridas
You act as if you don't careTe haces la desentendida
Without you, I'm going towards the endSin ti voy es pa’ final
Being you the medicine for this ailmentSiendo tú la medicina de este mal
You have my soul submerged in sorrowTienes mi alma sumergida en el pesar

I go out very little to have fun at the partiesMuy poco salgo a divertirme en las parrandas
I don't feel like having a drink of rumNo me provoca tomarme un trago de ron
My friends often ask meYa mis amigos con frecuencia me reclaman
And even tell me I'm a crying foolY hasta me dicen que soy un tonto llorón
But they can't imagine, no sirPero es que no se imaginan, no señor
That I have a broken soul without your loveQue tengo el alma partida sin tu amor
