La Vida Es Un Sueño
Claudia De Colombia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Después que uno viva veinte desengaños (Bis)
Que importa uno más.
Después que conozcas
La acción de la vida
No debes llorar.
Hay que darse cuenta
Que todo es mentira
Que nada es verdad.
Hay que vivir el momento feliz
Hay que gozar
Lo que puedas gozar
Porque sacando la cuenta en total
La vida es un sueño y todo se va.
La realidad es nacer y morir
Porque llenarnos de tanta ansiedad
Todo no es más que un eterno sufrir
El mundo esta hecho
Sin felicidad.
Después que uno viva...
In Claudia de Colombia's song La Vida Es un Sueño, she sings about the disillusionment that comes with living a life filled with disappointment. She acknowledges that life is full of ups and downs, and that after experiencing so many disappointments, one more doesn't matter. She advises that once someone becomes familiar with the way life works, they should not cry about it. Rather, they should realize that everything is a lie, nothing is true, and they should enjoy what little moments of happiness they can grasp. Ultimately, life is just a dream, and everything will eventually slip away.
The lyrics of the song express the existential crisis that one faces while navigating through the twists and turns of life. Claudia de Colombia advises her listeners to not get too attached to anything, as everything in life is transitory, and can fade away in the blink of an eye. She reminds us that we should live in the moment and make the most out of every opportunity, as life is too short and unpredictable to hold back. The final message of the song is that life is a series of births and deaths, and one should not try to fill it with unnecessary anxiety and pressure.
