Eso Era La Vida

That Was Life

Eso Era La Vida

I dreamed of lifeYo soñaba con la vida
And life was what they gave meY la vida era aquello que me daban
The doll that drank, that criedEl muñeco que bebía, que lloraba
And the clown who laughed when he fellY el payaso que al tumbarlo se reía
That was life, that was lifeEso era la vida, eso era la vida

I dreamed of lifeYo soñaba con la vida
And unknowingly I had it in my handsY en mis manos sin saberlo la tenía
And in my house, in my stories and at schoolY en mi casa, en mis cuentos y en la escuela
And in the braids of that angelY en los lazos de aquel ángel con dos trenzas
That was life, that was lifeEso era la vida, eso era la vida

But I didn't know, but I didn't knowPero yo no lo sabía, pero yo no lo sabía
And my youth went by, not knowing what life wasY se fue mi juventud, sin saber qué era la vida
But I didn't know, but I didn't knowPero yo no lo sabía, pero yo no lo sabía
And my youth went by, not knowing what life wasY se fue mi juventud, sin saber qué era la vida

I dreamed of lifeYo soñaba con la vida
And life was that rebellionY la vida era aquella rebeldía
That burden of unrealized illusionsAquel fardo de ilusiones no estrenadas
And the desire for a love that didn't comeY el deseo de un amor que no llegaba
That was life, that was lifeEso era la vida, eso era la vida

I dreamed of lifeYo soñaba con la vida
And it was everything that surrounded meY era todo lo que a mí me rodeaba
That tree in the garden where I playedAquel arbol del jardín donde jugaba
And mom's hands with her caressesY las manos de mamá con sus caricias
That was life, that was lifeEso era la vida, eso era la vida

But I didn't know, but I didn't knowPero yo no lo sabía, pero yo no lo sabía
And my youth went by, not knowing what life wasY se fue mi juventud, sin saber qué era la vida
But I didn't know, but I didn't knowPero yo no lo sabía, pero yo no lo sabía
And my youth went by, not knowing what life wasY se fue mi juventud, sin saber qué era la vida
But I didn't know, but I didn't knowPero yo no lo sabía, pero yo no lo sabía
And my youth went by, not knowing what life wasY se fue mi juventud, sin saber qué era la vida
