La Vida
Proyección Lyrics

Pa' que me sirve la vida, pa' que me sirve la vida,
What is the point of my life, what is the point of my life,

Pa' que me sirve la vida, cuando la traigo amargada
when I am bitter and unhappy with it

Yo la cambio por tequila, yo la cambio por tequila
I would trade it for tequila

Por si ya no, vale nada
if it is already worthless

Me van a secar el mar, me van a secar el mar,
They will dry up the sea on my behalf,

Me van a secar el mar, pa' llenarlo con mi llanto
to fill it with my tears

Al cabo yo sé llorar, y al cabo yo sé llorar,
After all, I know how to cry

Pero no más, que me aguanto.
But only to a certain extent

Ya vine de donde andaba
I came from where I was

Se me concedió volver
I was granted the privilege to return

A mí se me figuraba que no te volvería a ver,
I thought I would never see you again

Pareces amapolita cortada al amanecer.
You look like a poppy cut at dawn.

Si porque vengo de lejos,
If it's because I come from afar,

Me niegas la luz del día,
You deny me daylight

Se me hace q a tu esperanza le paso lo que a la mía,
I think your hope suffered the same fate as mine

Por andar en la vagancia perdí un amor que tenía.
I lost a love I once had for being idle.

Voy a cantarles un corrido muy mentado
I am going to sing a very famous ballad

Lo que ha pasado allá en la hacienda de la flor
What happened there on the flower farm

La triste historia de un ranchero enamorado
The sad story of a lovesick ranchero

Que fue borracho, parrandero y jugador,
Who was a drunkard, party animal and gambler,

Juan se llamaba, y le apodaban charrasqueado,
His name was Juan, and they called him charrasqueado,

Era valiente y arriesgado en el amor,
He was brave and daring in love,

A las mujeres más bonitas se llevaba
He took the prettiest women

Y en ese campo no quedaba ni una flor.
And in that field, not a single flower remained.

Un día domingo que se andaba emborrachando
One Sunday when he was getting drunk

A la cantina le corrieron avisar
They went to warn him at the cantina

Cuídate Juan que ya por ay te andan buscando
Be careful Juan, they are looking for you out there

Son muchos hombres no te vayan a matar
There are many of them, they might kill you

No dieron tiempo que montara en su caballo
They did not give him time to mount his horse

Pistola en mano se le echaron de a montón
They surrounded him with guns in hand

Estoy borracho les gritaba y soy buen gallo
I am drunk he yelled at them and I am good at fighting

Cuando una bala atravesó su corazón.
When a bullet pierced his heart.

Me caí de la nube que andaba
I fell from the cloud I was on

Como a veinte mil metros de altura
From a height of about twenty thousand meters

Por poquito que pierdo la vida,
I almost lost my life for nothing

Esa fue mi mejor aventura
That was my greatest adventure

Por la suerte caí entre los brazos
By luck, I fell into the arms

De una linda y hermosa criatura
Of a beautiful and lovely creature

Me cubrió con su lindo vestido
She covered me with her beautiful dress

Y corriendo a curar me llevó
And she hurriedly took me to get treated

Me colmó todo el cuerpo de besos
She covered my body with kisses

Y abrazada, conmigo lloró
And hugged me as we cried together

Preguntaba que yo le dijera
She asked me to tell her

Qué persona de allá me aventó
Who threw me off from up there

No le pude decir nada, nada
I couldn't tell her anything at all

Solamente, pensé en la maldad
I just thought about the evil

Me subí hasta la nube más alta,
I climbed up to the highest cloud

A quererme tirar de verdad
To really throw myself off

Y olvidar esa hermosa criatura
And forget about that beautiful creature

En mi cara me supo engañar
But to my face, she deceived me.
