Translation of the song lyrics Vida - Ricardo Arjona

Vida (original)

Yo nací de amor y comadrona
En la misma cama de mama
Por una cuestión de cromosomas
Fui el varón que quiso mi papa
Mi viejo era el profe de la escuela
Mi mama el sargento del lugar
Yo era su boceto en acuarela
El tercero y último en llegar
Vi tantas lunas
Que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
Tantas vacunas
Para lograr sobrevivir
Aprendí a correr una mañana
Antes de aprender a caminar
Un teniente entro por la ventana
Y a todos nos dio por escapar
Brasil fue campeón en el '70
Y en la radio Pol decía Hey you
El gol de pele en cámara lenta
Y el cigarro entraba en el menú
Vi tantas lunas
Que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
Tantas vacunas
Para lograr sobrevivir
Conocí el amor con la vecina
Y también alguna enfermedad
El doctor mandó penicilina
El amor cobró con soledad
Fui maestro y fui universitario
Golfo, cara dura y sobrador
Mientras el cabrón del calendario
No te hace jamás ningún favor
Vi tantas lunas
Que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
Tantas vacunas
Para lograr sobrevivir
Le pongo play a mi cerebro
Para ver lo que un día fui
Vida
Porque se acabara la vida
Te ves jugando a la escondida
Y al voltear preguntas
Vida
Porque caucara la vida
Aprendes a decir que tal
Y despedida y dices
Vida
Porque se acabara la vida
Te ves jugando a la escondida
Y al voltear preguntas
Vida
Porque caucara la vida
Aprendes a decir que tal
Y despedida y gritas
Vida
Recibí el 2000 con pirotecnia
Ya no rento ni padezco soledad
Desde el parto ya comparto la epidemia
De este síndrome de la caducidad

Vida (translation)

I was born of love and midwife
In the same bed as mama
For a question of chromosomes
I was the man my dad wanted
My old man was the school teacher
My mom the sergeant of the place
I was her watercolor sketch
The third and last to arrive
I saw so many moons
That today I don't know if I am or I was
so many shots
To be able to survive
I learned to run one morning
Before learning to walk
A lieutenant entered through the window
And he gave us all to escape
Brazil was champion in '70
And on the radio Pol said Hey you
Pele's goal in slow motion
And the cigar was on the menu
I saw so many moons
That today I don't know if I am or I was
so many shots
To be able to survive
I met love with the neighbor
And also some disease
The doctor ordered penicillin
love charged with loneliness
I was a teacher and I went to university
Gulf, hard face and spare
While the bastard of the calendar
He never does you any favors
I saw so many moons
That today I don't know if I am or I was
so many shots
To be able to survive
I put play to my brain
To see what one day I was
Lifetime
Because life will end
You see yourself playing hide and seek
And when flipping questions
Lifetime
because it caused life
You learn to say what's up
And goodbye and you say
Lifetime
Because life will end
You see yourself playing hide and seek
And when flipping questions
Lifetime
because it caused life
You learn to say what's up
And goodbye and you scream
Lifetime
I received the 2000 with pyrotechnics
I no longer rent or suffer loneliness
Since giving birth I already share the epidemic
Of this expiration syndrome
