Vivir [English translation]

There are times in life

when we lose hope,

our boat wrecks and

our love

follows the lost way

of eternal walkers.

Behind every smile there is always pain.

In every farewell

there is a hidden sorrow.

With every “Good-bye” there is something forgotten.

But at each encounter

we forget sufferings

with a shake

of the friendly hand.

To live

sometimes means

to laugh,

but also to cry.

Life is a playing card.

To live

sometimes means

to lose,

but also to win.

Life is the awaited tomorrow.

For every cold winter

in your shaded garden

there is an awaited spring.

For every love that dies

there's another desired love,

born with the hope

of arriving.

You see, everything passes,

but there's always tomorrow

and it's not worth giving up.

There is always a door

opened for a hope,

'cause there is always a way

to go.

To live

sometimes means

to laugh,

but also to cry.

Life is a playing card.

To live

sometimes means

to lose,

but also to win.

Life is the awaited tomorrow.
