Life Is Just A Passing Parade
When I was a little boy
I was raised down south in Mexico
Nothing ever happened that was new to me
Then one day we saw circus posters on the wall
Suddenly, All my friends and I
We heard a sound
It was loud
Music all around us seemed to make us free
Life is just a passing paradise
Life is just a passing paradise
Everybody started dancing
I never saw so many people having so much fun
Now I'm living in this country
And I've got myself a steady job
I keep seeing people happy everywhere
All I get to do is play my guitar
Come on! Everybody get together, have some fun
Come on! Everybody get together, have some fun
Life is just a passing paradise
Life is just a passing paradise
Everybody started dancing
I never saw so many people having so much fun
La vida es solo un desfile pasajero
Cuando era un niño
Fui criado en el sur de México
Nunca pasaba nada que fuera nuevo para mí
Entonces un día vimos carteles de circo en la pared
De repente, todos mis amigos y yo
Escuchamos un sonido
Era fuerte
La música a nuestro alrededor parecía liberarnos
La vida es solo un paraíso pasajero
La vida es solo un paraíso pasajero
Todos empezaron a bailar
Nunca vi a tanta gente divirtiéndose tanto
Ahora vivo en este país
Y tengo un trabajo estable
Sigo viendo gente feliz por todas partes
Todo lo que hago es tocar mi guitarra
¡Vamos! Todos juntos, divirtámonos
¡Vamos! Todos juntos, divirtámonos
La vida es solo un paraíso pasajero
La vida es solo un paraíso pasajero
Todos empezaron a bailar
Nunca vi a tanta gente divirtiéndose tanto
