Ruben Blades vida

Select language to translate this lyric


No one chooses their family or their race when they are born
Not even being rich, poor, good, bad, brave or coward
We are born from a decision where we were not consulted
And No one can promise us results
When we are born we do not even know our name
Nor what our path will be, nor what the future hides
Between baptism and burial each one makes a path
And with your decisions, a destiny
We are just another deck of a game that another has started
And each one will bet according to the hand they have inherited
Life is a door where they don't charge you for the entrance
And the soul is the ticket that, as you live, they tear you when you pay
And each step creates a footprint, and each footprint is a story
And each yesterday It is a star in the sky of memory
And the tide of time carries and brings our contradictions
And between return and farewell the errors heal
And each friend is the family that we choose among strangers os
And between the wait and the encounter one learns over the years
That only our spirit responds to conscience
And that one thing is to be male and another is to be a man
No one chooses their family, or their race, when they are born
Not even being good, bad, pretty, ugly, innocent or guilty
From birth to death, all life is a bet
Of Our will depends on the answer
I dream for a different world
Where our love never ends!
Fight for a different world
Where our love never goes out !
