Ay, mi vida! Joven y antigua
Tardes de canciones a la sombra de una iglesia
Naipes y tabaco hasta el fresco de la noche,
hombres y ocasos, se enciende rojo sangre
Me llamas, ¡ay, mi vida!
después de salsa y plena,
ritmos de un lugar lejano
que antes no existía
Desafío la suerte entre prisa y rascacielos
¿Cuántos riesgos más? para un sueño que soñar
Te canto, eres mi vida
Soy un hombre que se juega el máximo
Ya pedir perdón sería el mínimo,
con un destino que explicar y lo haré,
te llenaré de aplausos siempre
¡Ay, mi vida!
Todo lo que quiero es acercarme a Dios,
perdonar y amar hasta que tenga voz
Robaré la fuerza, el viento y marcharé
Dondequiera, yo te seguiré
¡Ay, mi vida!
Frágil y dura
Siempre guerra entre inocencia y vanidad
Mil peleas de virtud y de necesidad,
aprendiendo que una estrella
sin corazón no brillará
¡Te canto, ay, mi vida!
Soy un hombre que se juega el máximo
Y pedir perdón sería el mínimo
Regresaré un día a mi casa
¡espérame! aún cuándo no lo sé
Como una vela que más aire pide al mar,
me atormenta el deseo inefable de llegar
a una meta única,
la luz que llevo dentro
Complicada, joven y antigua ¡Así es mi vida!
Atestada de aduladores, farsantes y manipuladores
¡Así es mi vida!
Sólo quiero acercarme a Dios con mi canto
y mi voz
¡Así es mi vida!
¡Qué hay de malo en amar, qué hay de malo en reír, qué hay de malo en cantar feliz!
¡Así es mi vida!
Competencia entre virtudes y necesidad
¡Así es mi vida!
Sabiendo que una estrella sin corazón nunca brillará
¡Así es mi vida!
Se empeñan y es la realidad
¡Así es mi vida!
Pero, con Dios y mi gente, lo voy a lograr
¡Así es mi vida! ¡Así es mi vida!
¡Así es mi vida! ¡Así es mi vida!
¡Así es mi vida!
¡Ay, mi vida!
Soy un hombre que se juega el máximo
y pedir perdón ha sido el mínimo
Con una voz por despegar continuaré,
cantando aquí contigo,
¡oh, vida!
