Así es la vida [English translation]

To some

...rainy days

are cold and sad

To me

...they have all the warmth

their bodies give off

To Adam

...the greatest sin

was that apple

To Eve

...the enormous desire

to make him sin

To some

...death is a fatal and terrible blow

To others

...just a ticket to freedom

He who has money

...asks the Almighty

to watch over him

He who robs

...asks the Almighty

to let him rob

CHORUS

That's life, ironic as it is

Some shoulder the cross

...others must carry

That's life, illogical as it is

Each of us, in the end

...with a story to tell or to quell

That's life, as...

There are those who spend their lives

...at the bottom of a bottle

There are those who think

...inflating their veins

they can fly

That's not the wisest way

...to find the answer

Summoning the devil

...is not the same

as [merely] seeing him arrive

CHORUS

That's life, ironic as it is

Some shoulder the cross

...others must carry

That's life, illogical as it is

Each of us, in the end

...with a story to tell or to quell

That's life, as...

With a kiss

...the most profound love

can be expressed

With a kiss, Judas

...sold out Christ

And I've got to know

...why it's always

the world's poor

...who down here

on Earth

...are never heard

That's life, illogical as it is

...ironic [and] drastic

That's life, ironic as it is

There are many who suffer

...shouldering the cross

Hear me [brothers and sisters]

...others must carry

That's life

...illogical as it is

Though accepting many things

...may be difficult

everything has its reason

...for being

That's life, confront it

...ironic as it is

at times cruel and dramatic

...at times pretty and magic

It's all part of this [thing called] life

That's life, illogical as it is

I believe in cause and effect

[and] am of the opinion

...those who do evil

life pays back

...in the same currency

That's life, ironic as it is

For if we search for freedom

...we find ourselves at war

over politics [and] nothing more

That's life, ironic, illogical as is

Enjoy what you have

...without thinking

about what has not come

...God will take care of that

That's life, ironic as it is

Some inflate their veins

...searching for the answer

and they find a sad ending

That's life, illogical as it is

...ironic as it is, drastic

It's simply life
