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