¿Dónde va la vida? [English translation]

Where does life go, life that’s inside of me,

which goes with me, which is in my dreams,

life that flows, the one that I make up,

life that hides so many feelings?

Where does life go, the one we create together

from our glances, from our smiles, from our moments, 1

the most pleasant life, that is in control of everything,

which seems poetic when I look into your eyes?

Where does life go, the one that leaves the time,

which is made of moments that know how to live, which passes slowly,

life with a name, life without fear,

the innocent life that we can live?

A seagull2passes over the sea,

the river passes as it flows,

the wind passes silently and I too.

Before this life really starts, it leaves you.

Life leaves you, life goes away…

Where does life go, life that commands respect,

that punishes because of your decisions,

a little life, that nobody notices,

that is confused, that doesn’t end?

Where does life go, life that dies

before you find the solutions, life that hurts,

life without life, life that passes by,

life hidden behind a miracle?

Where is life that we waste,

which we deserve, which we owe, which was confided to us,

life that returns not leaving us alive,

someone else’s life, life that is life?

A seagull passes over the sea,

the river passes as it flows,

the wind passes silently and I too.

Before it starts, it leaves you.

Life goes away, life leaves you, life goes away.

Where does life go? It goes away.

Where does life go? It goes away.

Where does life go? It goes away…
