Lyrics of Por La Vida - Marcos Vidal

Por La Vida (original)

Que fácil es tergiversar las palabras
Quitar un punto, un acento de aquí o de allá
Y al final la frase suena tan distinta
No tiene nada que ver con el original
Mirando nuestro mundo hoy se me ocurre
Puede que nuestra trampa sea igual
Hemos hecho nuestro
Lo que en un principio era un préstamo
Que Dios nos hizo cuando
Nos dio vida con el aire
Nos dio luz con las estrellas
Y el romance de la luna con el mar
Nos dio el fuego, y nos dio el agua
Nos dio el valle y la montaña
Y el regalo de la voz para cantar
Y nos hizo como niños
Nos dio juegos de valor
Cierta dosis de cariño
Nos dio juegos, nos dio humor
Nos dio la vida, la vida Él nos dio
Sin razón alguna nos amó
Es tiempo de empezar por el principio
Mirar al cielo y volver a comenzar
Es hora de entender que nada es nuestro
Que todo lo tendremos que entregar
Que solamente en Dios está la vida
Y solamente Él la puede quitar
Vivimos de prestado
Y tarde o temprano nos veremos
Cara a cara frente a aquel que
Nos dio vida con el aire
Nos dio luz con las estrellas
Y el romance de la luna con el mar
Nos dio el fuego, y nos dio el agua
Nos dio el valle y la montaña
Y el regalo de la voz para cantar
Y nos hizo como niños
Nos dio juegos de valor
Cierta dosis de cariño
Nos dio juegos, nos dio humor
Nos dio la vida, la vida El nos dio
Sin razón alguna nos amó

(translation)

How easy it is to twist words
Remove a period, an accent here or there
And in the end the sentence sounds so different
It has nothing to do with the original
Looking at our world today it occurs to me
Maybe our trap is the same
we have made our
What was originally a loan
that God made us when
He gave us life with the air
He gave us light with the stars
And the romance of the moon with the sea
He gave us the fire, and he gave us the water
He gave us the valley and the mountain
And the gift of the voice to sing
And he made us like children
He gave us value games
A certain dose of affection
He gave us games, he gave us humor
He gave us life, life He gave us
For no reason he loved us
It's time to start at the beginning
Look to the sky and start again
It's time to understand that nothing is ours
That we will have to deliver everything
That only in God is life
And only He can take it away
we live on borrowed
And sooner or later we'll see each other
Face to face in front of the one who
He gave us life with the air
He gave us light with the stars
And the romance of the moon with the sea
He gave us the fire, and he gave us the water
He gave us the valley and the mountain
And the gift of the voice to sing
And he made us like children
He gave us value games
A certain dose of affection
He gave us games, he gave us humor
He gave us life, life he He gave us
For no reason he loved us
