The Dances of Life

Los Bailes de La Vida

It was in the dances of lifeFue en los bailes de la vida
Or in a barO en un bar
In exchange for breadA cambio de pan
That many good peopleQue mucha gente buena
Made their way in the professionHizo pie en la profesión
Of playing an instrumentDe tocar un instrumento
Or singingO de cantar
Without caringSin importarle
If the one who paid wants to hearSi el que pago quiere oír
It was like thatFue así

Singing was seeking the pathCantar era buscar el camino
That led to the sunQue fuera hasta el sol
I have with meTengo conmigo
The memory of what I wasEl recuerdo de lo que yo era
To sing nothing was farPara cantar nada era lejos
I was happyYo era feliz
Even carrying dreamsHasta subir los sueños
In the box of a truckEn la caja de un camión
It was like thatEra así

With dirty clothesCon la ropa enlodada
And a soul full of loveY el alma repleta de amor
Every artist must goTodo artista debe ir
Where the people areDonde el pueblo está
If it was like that, it will be like thatSi fue así, así será
Singing I resurrectCantando resucito
And I don't tire of livingY no me canso de vivir
Nor of singingNi de cantar
