Maestra Vida

(original)
A tu escuela llegué sin entender porque llegaba
En tus salones encuentro mil caminos y encrucijadas
Y aprendo mucho y no aprendo nada
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Paso por dias de sol, luz y de aguaceros
Paso por noches de tinieblas y de lunas
Paso afirmando, paso negando, paso con dudas
Entre risas y amarguras, buscando el porque y el cuándo
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Maestra vida, de justicias e injusticias
De bondades y malicias aun no alcanzo a comprenderte
Maestra vida que ese culpo no perdona
Voy buscando entre tus horas el espejo de los tiempos
Para ver tus sentimientos y así comprender tus cosas
Y vi espinas y vi rosas
Vi morir seres queridos vi bellezas fui testigo
De maldades y de guerras
Vi lo bueno de la tierra
Y vi el hambre y la miseria y entre el drama y la comedia
Avance entre agua y fuego
En dios me acuerdo primero
Solo en trance de morirme
O a veces cuando estoy triste mas nunca si estoy contento
No dura agradecimiento
Pa' aquel que nos da la mano
Tan pronto nos sale el clavo
Se olvida to’o el sufrimiento
Y tengo amigos, conocidos y enemigos
Amores que me han querido
Y rostros que niegan verme
Me encontré frente a la muerte
Y en sus ojos vi el sentido
Y con el miedo conmigo
Así yo aprendí a quererte
Y hoy sé que nada es seguro
Ya que todo es pasajero
La muerte es el mensajero que con la ultima hora viene
Y el tiempo no se detiene
Ni por amor, ni dinero
La muerte es el mensajero que con la ultima hora viene
Y el tiempo no se detiene
Ni por amor, ni dinero
Maestra vida, me voy persiguiendo al tiempo
A ver si encuentro respuestas, antes de la hora en
Que yo muera
Aunque me estoy resignando a esta fatal realidad
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Maestra vida camará'a, te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Maestra vida camara’a
Pero te da, te quita, te quita y te da
Oye, cuando tú menos lo esperas
Va la sorpresa camara’a
Y el tiempo, mira no se detiene
Ni por amor, ni por dinero
La muerte, compa, la muerte es el mensajero
Que con la ultima hora viene
Cuando se murió Carmelo
Sentí un dolor tan profundo
Que no hallo nada en el mundo
Con que poder consolarme
Te da, te quita, te quita y te da
(translation)
I arrived at your school without understanding why I was coming
In your halls I find a thousand paths and crossroads
And I learn a lot and I learn nothing
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
I go through days of sun, light and downpours
I go through nights of darkness and moons
I step affirming, I step denying, I step with doubts
Between laughter and bitterness, looking for the why and the when
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
Teacher life, of justices and injustices
Of goodness and malice I still can't understand you
Teacher life that guilt does not forgive
I'm looking among your hours for the mirror of time
To see your feelings and thus understand your things
And I saw thorns and I saw roses
I saw loved ones die I saw beauties I witnessed
Of evils and wars
I saw the good of the land
And I saw the hunger and the misery and between the drama and the comedy
Progress between water and fire
In god I remember first
Alone in the process of dying
Or sometimes when I'm sad but never if I'm happy
no hard thanks
For the one who gives us a hand
As soon as the nail comes out
All the suffering is forgotten
And I have friends, acquaintances and enemies
loves that have loved me
And faces that deny seeing me
I found myself facing death
And in his eyes I saw the meaning
And with the fear with me
That's how I learned to love you
And today I know that nothing is certain
Since everything is temporary
Death is the messenger that with the last hour comes
And time doesn't stop
Not for love, not for money
Death is the messenger that with the last hour comes
And time doesn't stop
Not for love, not for money
Master life, I go chasing time
Let's see if I find answers, before the time in
let me die
Although I am resigning myself to this fatal reality
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
Maestra vida camará'a, it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
It gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
It gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
It gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
It gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
camera life teacher
But it gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
Hey, when you least expect it
The surprise camara'a goes
And time, look, it doesn't stop
Neither for love nor for money
Death, compa, death is the messenger
That with the last hour comes
When Carmelo died
I felt a pain so deep
That I find nothing in the world
With what can I console myself?
It gives you, it takes you, it takes you and it gives you
