Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Maestra Vida , by - Willie Colón. Song from the album Live in the Netherlands, in the genre ДжазMaestra 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 |
