Translation of the song lyrics Eso Era la Vida - Emmanuel

Eso Era la Vida (original)

Yo sonaba con la vida
Y la vida era aquello que me daban
El muneco que bebia que lloraba
Y el payaso que al tumbarlo se reia
Eso era la vida
Eso era la vida
Yo sonaba con la vida
Y en mis manos sin saberlo la tenia
Y en mi casa, en mis cuentos y en la escuela
Y en los lazos de aquel angel con dos trenzas
Eso era la vida
Eso era la vida
Pero yo no lo sabia
Pero yo no lo sabia
Y se fue mi juventud, sin saber que era la vida
Pero yo no lo sabia
Pero yo no lo sabia
Y se fue mi juventud, sin saber que era la vida
Yo sonaba con la vida
Y la vida era aquella rebeldia
Aquel fardo de iluciones no estrenadas
Y el deseo de un amor que no llegaba
Eso era la vida
Eso era la vida
Yo sonaba con la vida
Y era todo lo que a mi, me rodeaba
Aquel arbol del jardin donde jugaba
Y las manos de mama con sus caricias
Eso era la vida
Eso era la vida
Pero yo no lo sabia
Pero yo no lo sabia
Y se fue mi juventud, sin saber que era la vida
Pero yo no lo sabia
Pero yo no lo sabia
Y se fue mi juventud, sin saber que era la vida
Pero yo no lo sabia
Pero yo no lo sabia
Y se fue mi juventud, sin saber que era la vida

(translation)

I dreamed of life
And life was what they gave me
The doll that drank that cried
And the clown who laughed when he knocked him down
that was life
that was life
I dreamed of life
And in my hands without knowing it I had it
And in my house, in my stories and at school
And in the bonds of that angel with two braids
that was life
that was life
But I didn't know
But I didn't know
And my youth left, without knowing what life was
But I didn't know
But I didn't know
And my youth left, without knowing what life was
I dreamed of life
And life was that rebellion
That bundle of illusions not released
And the desire for a love that never came
that was life
that was life
I dreamed of life
And it was everything that surrounded me
That tree in the garden where I used to play
And mom's hands with her caresses
that was life
that was life
But I didn't know
But I didn't know
And my youth left, without knowing what life was
But I didn't know
But I didn't know
And my youth left, without knowing what life was
But I didn't know
But I didn't know
And my youth left, without knowing what life was
