Dos Cosas Ciertas (original)

En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
Son la muerte y el cambio
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
Son la muerte y el cambio
No dejes que tu vida se safe
Toma tu destino en tus propias manos
Aveces las espaldas sudosas
Se confrentan con las palmas sucias…
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
Son la muerte y el cambio
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
Son la muerte y el cambio
Handa, handa no pierdas la vista
Persuige, persuigue tu destino
Tu destino se decide en tus manos
No dejes que se escape tu chance…
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
Handa, handa no pierdas la vista
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
No dejes que se escape tu chance
It’s you they card
It’s you they charge
It’s you they complain about strollin the boulevard
You the one claimin' and screamin you all hard
Are you in control or is it just a facade
If Uncle Sam wants you it’s you
It’s you that he’ll need
It’s you that he’ll sacrifice and it’s you that’ll bleed
I think you need to reflect on some old Sam Sneed
And recognize in life there’s only two guarantees
Some proceed to believe
And thus we gotta discuss
Have we all lost our trust in us
Cause you and I
We us together we must
Live change and die
Everybody’s inlcuded it’s up to you to decide
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
Son la muerte y el cambio
En la vida hay dos cosas ciertas
Son la muerte y el cambio

(translation)

In life there are two certain things
They are death and change
In life there are two certain things
They are death and change
Don't let your life be safe
Take your destiny in your own hands
Sometimes sweaty backs
They are confronted with dirty palms…
In life there are two certain things
They are death and change
In life there are two certain things
They are death and change
Handa, handa don't lose your sight
Chase, chase your destiny
Your destiny is decided in your hands
Don't let your chance slip away...
In life there are two certain things
In life there are two certain things
Handa, handa don't lose your sight
In life there are two certain things
In life there are two certain things
Don't let your chance slip away
It's you they card
It's you they charge
It's you they complain about strollin the boulevard
You the one claimin' and screamin' you all hard
Are you in control or is it just a facade
If Uncle Sam wants you it's you
It's you that he'll need
It's you that he'll sacrifice and it's you that'll bleed
I think you need to reflect on some old Sam Sneed
And recognize in life there's only two guarantees
Some proceed to believe
And thus we gotta discuss
Have we all lost our trust in us
Cause you and I
We us together we must
live change and die
Everybody's included it's up to you to decide
In life there are two certain things
They are death and change
In life there are two certain things
They are death and change
