Vida

(original)
Nadie escoge a su familia o a su raza, cuando nace
Ni el ser rico, pobre, bueno, malo, valiente o cobarde
Nacemos de una decisión donde no fuimos consultados
Y nadie puede prometernos resultados
Cuando nacemos no sabemos ni siquiera nuestro nombre
Ni cual será nuestro sendero, ni lo que el futuro esconde
Entre el bautizo y el entierro cada cual hace un camino
Y con sus decisiones, un destino
Somos una baraja más de un juego que otro ha comenzado
Y cada cual apostará según la mano que ha heredado
La vida es una puerta donde no te cobran por la entrada
Y el alma es el tiquete que, al vivir, te rasgan cuando pagas
Y cada paso crea una huella, y cada huella es una historia
Y cada ayer es una estrella en el cielo de la memoria
Y la marea del tiempo lleva y trae nuestras contradicciones
Y entre regreso y despedida cicatrizan los errores
Y cada amigo es la familia que escojemos entre extraños
Y entre la espera y el encuentro uno aprende con los años
Que solamente a la conciencia nuestro espíritu responde
Y que una cosa es ser varón y otra es ser hombre
Nadie escoje a su familia, o a su raza, cuando nace
Ni el ser bueno, malo, lindo, feo, inocente o culpable
Del nacimiento hasta la muerte toda vida es una apuesta:
De nuestra voluntad depende la respuesta
¡Sueño por un mundo diferente
Donde nuestro amor nunca se acabe!
¡Luchen por un mundo diferente
Donde nuestro amor nunca se apague!
(translation)
Nobody chooses his family or his race, when he is born
Not being rich, poor, good, bad, brave or cowardly
We are born from a decision where we were not consulted
And nobody can promise us results
When we are born we don't even know our name
Neither what our path will be, nor what the future hides
Between the baptism and the burial each one makes a path
And with your decisions, a destiny
We are one more deck of a game that another has started
And each one will bet according to the hand that he has inherited
Life is a door where you are not charged for entry
And the soul is the ticket that, by living, they tear you when you pay
And each step creates a footprint, and each footprint is a story
And every yesterday is a star in the sky of memory
And the tide of time carries our contradictions
And between return and farewell the mistakes heal
And every friend is the family we choose among strangers
And between the wait and the encounter, one learns over the years
That only our spirit responds to conscience
And that one thing is to be a man and another is to be a man
No one chooses their family, or their race, when they are born
Neither being good, bad, cute, ugly, innocent or guilty
From birth to death all life is a gamble:
The answer depends on our will
I dream for a different world
Where our love never ends!
Fight for a different world
Where our love never fades!
