Asi Es La Vida
Pedro Infante Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si le quieres decir a un cariño
Que ya no sea ingrato, que ya no sea así
No se lo digas, no se lo digas
Porque en vez de que cure tu herida
Y alegre tu vida te hará mas sufrir

Llora en silencio
Que has de hacer si la vida es así

Ya no llores preciosa morena
Me da mucha pena mirarte llorar

Guarda tu llanto, guarda tu llanto
Que el amor cuando es bueno de veras
Por otras verdades sabrá regresar
Hay que esperanza ese amor ya no vuelve jamás

Imposible es contar las estrellas
Contar las arenas que tiene la mar
Tenlo presente, tenlo presente

Imposible es también en el mundo
Hallar un cariño que no pague mal
Así es la vida, pero no te arrepientas de amar

Las mujeres igual que los hombres
Jamás corresponden amor con amor
Así es la vida, así es la vida
Y si adoras, si alguna sospecha

Que llevas muy dentro una inmensa pasión
No se la digas, siempre guárdala en tu corazon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pedro Infante's song "Así es la Vida" speak about the reality of love and heartbreak. The song starts by addressing someone who wants to tell their love interest that they should stop being ungrateful and cruel. The singer advises against telling them because it will only make the pain worse. Instead, the person should cry in silence and accept that this is just how life is. The chorus repeats, "Así es la vida" or "That's life," emphasizing the idea that heartbreak and disappointment are simply a part of it.

The next verse offers some hope, suggesting that true love will return even if it seems impossible at the moment. However, it also acknowledges that love is often unpredictable and painful. The final verse addresses women specifically, noting that they are just as likely as men to not reciprocate feelings of love. The singer advises those with unrequited love to keep it to themselves, never revealing the depth of their passion. Throughout the song, Pedro Infante's smooth and emotional voice reinforces the sad but true message that love can be unpredictable and painful.
