CANTO A LA VIDA

SONG TO LIFE

CANTO A LA VIDA

Good night Good Night!¡Buenas noches, buenas noches!
WelcomeBienvenidos

I have written a thousand songs that talk about loveYo he escrito mil canciones que hablan del amor
Others of spite full of painOtras de despecho llenas de dolor
Songs for the party and the accordion playsCanciones pa la fiesta y suena el acordeón
Saying the night has just begunDiciendo que la noche apenas comenzó

And now I'm looking for a reason to be able to sayY ahora busco un motivo pa poder decir
The things I haven't said and didn't see comingLas cosas que no he dicho y que no vi venir
How is it possible that I haven't written to you yet?Cómo es posible que no le haya escrito aún
The most important thing is that it is not so commonA lo más importante que no es tan común

I have already sent flowersYa yo he mandado flores
that I have been collectingQue ido recogiendo
All over the wayPor todo el camino
And even in the streamY hasta en el arroyito
I sang to my sorrowsYo le canté a mis penas
But I have not written thisPero esto no lo he escrito

That's why today I sing to lifePor eso es que hoy le canto a la vida
For the memories that are not forgottenPor los recuerdos que no se olvidan
Let the memories live, let the stories liveQue vivan las memorias, que vivan las historias
That today live in photographsQue hoy viven en las fotografías
That's why I sing to lifePor eso yo le canto a la vida
For my family who is the light of my daysPor mi familia que es la luz de mis días
For everything lived and for everything learnedPor todo lo vivido y por todo lo aprendido
And lucky to have you in my lifeY la suerte de tenerte en mi vida

TastySabroso

How sad life would beQué triste sería la vida
If the joy is not sharedSi la alegría no es compartida
What's the use of applause?De que sirven los aplausos
If when I sing there is no harmonySi cuando canto no hay armonía

How it makes my life happyCómo me alegra la vida
See that as the years go byVer que al pasar de los años
Time has taught meEl tiempo me ha ido enseñando
If there is good wine, you don't have to keep itQue si hay buen vino no hay que guardarlo

Being happy is cheapSer feliz sale barato
walk without shoesCaminar sin zapatos
Hanging out with friendsSalir con los amigos
Have a good timePasar un buen rato
That's why I kiss slowlyPor eso beso lento
And I forgive quicklyY perdono rápido
The resentment releasingEl rencor soltando

Being happy is cheapSer feliz sale barato
dancing vallenatoBailando vallenato
Hanging out with friendsSalir con los amigos
Have a good timePasar un buen rato
That's why I kiss slowlyPor eso beso lento
And I forgive quicklyY perdono rápido
The resentment releasingEl rencor soltando

That's why today I sing to lifePor eso es que hoy le canto a la vida
For the memories that are not forgottenPor los recuerdos que no se olvidan
Let the memories live, let the stories liveQue vivan las memorias, que vivan las historias
That today live in photographsQue hoy viven en las fotografías
That's why I sing to lifePor eso yo le canto a la vida
For my family who is the light of my daysPor mi familia que es la luz de mis días
For everything lived and for everything learnedPor todo lo vivido y por todo lo aprendido
And lucky to have you in my lifeY la suerte de tenerte en mi vida

Time has taught meEl tiempo me ha ido enseñando
If there is good wine, you don't have to keep itQue si hay buen vino no hay que guardarlo

Time has taught meEl tiempo me ha ido enseñando
If there is good wine, you don't have to keep itQue si hay buen vino no hay que guardarlo
Time has taught meEl tiempo me ha ido enseñando
If there is no wine I'll drink a guaroQue si no hay vino me tomo un guaro

Health!¡Salud!
