Asi es la vida
Glup! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Ayy, la vida, da tantas vueltas
No dejes que te atrape
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay la vida da tantas vueltas, aha...

Un panadero llamado Juan
En su panaderia
Se enamoro de Maria Ester
Pero ella no lo queria a el

Ella queria a un bombero
Que se llama Rodrigo
Pero Rodrigo amaba a Juan,
A Juan el panadero

Ayy, la vida, da tantas vueltas
No dejes que te atrape
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay la vida da tantas vueltas, aha...

En la otra esquina vive don Luis
Luis el carnicero
Me cuesta entenderlo pero hay que tratar
Se que es un hombre bueno
En gustos no hay nada escrito, lo se
Don Luis es un ejemplo
En gustos no hay nada escrito, lo se
A el le gusta su perro

Ayy, la vida, da tantas vueltas
no dejes que te atrape
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay la vida da tantas vueltas, aha...

Ayy, la vida, da tantas vueltas
no dejes que te atrape
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay la vida da tantas vueltas, aha...

Para concluir que te puedo decir
Yo no cambio mi vida
Tengo una novia que besa muy bien
Como no la voy a querer
Y aunque cuando no esta conmigo, yo se
Que tambien besa a otros
Asi es la vida, que le voy a hacer,
Asi es la vida!

Ayy, la vida, da tantas vueltas
No dejes que te atrape
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay la vida da tantas vueltas, aha...

Ayy, la vida, da tantas vueltas
No dejes que te atrape
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay la vida da tantas vueltas, aha...

Ay, la vida
