Así es la vida 00:23
Divino tesoro 00:24
Como un juego de poker 00:26
Donde lo apuestas todo 00:28
Así fue nuestro amor 00:30
Con sus altos y bajos 00:31
Pero no nos perdimos 00:34
En ningún atajo 00:35
Así es la vida 00:38
Al final que nos queda 00:39
Tú escogiste un camino 00:41
Y yo la vereda 00:43
Nos seguimos queriendo 00:45
De distintas maneras 00:47
Porque así es la vida 00:49
Y te pone a prueba 00:50
Y mientras tanto que se rían de mí 00:52
Si somos dos idiotas, lo que quieran decir 00:55
Somos indiferentes y que estamos locos 00:59
Si no hay nada más fuerte que lo de nosotros 01:03
Y no me importa lo que digan de ti 01:07
Arma de doble filo y que te ven por ahí 01:10
Delante de la gente pisando mi orgullo 01:14
Yo que le voy a hacer mi corazón es tuyo 01:18
Así es la vida 01:38
Ganar o perder 01:39
Sal y limón en la herida 01:41
Quedarse sangrando 01:44
Planeando una huída 01:46
Buscando una ruta 01:48
La fruta prohibida 01:49
Cuantas veces dijimos 01:52
Que el tiempo es oro 01:55
El mañana no importa 01:56
Es el hoy lo que adoro 01:58
Son tu boca y tus besos 02:00
Los que traen la fortuna 02:01
Me diste el universo 02:04
Te prometí la luna 02:05
Y mientras tanto que se rían de mí 02:07
Si somos dos idiotas, lo que quieran decir 02:10
Somos indiferentes y que estamos locos 02:14
Si no hay nada más fuerte que lo de nosotros 02:18
Y no me importa lo que digan de ti 02:22
Arma de doble filo y que te ven por ahí 02:25
Delante de la gente pisando mi orgullo 02:29
Yo que le voy a hacer mi corazón es tuyo 02:33

[English]
That's life
Divine treasure
Like a poker game
Where you bet it all
That's how our love was
With its highs and lows
But we didn’t lose ourselves
In any shortcut
That's life
In the end, what do we have left
You chose a path
And I took the alley
We keep loving each other
In different ways
Because that's life
And it tests you
And meanwhile—let them laugh at me
If we're two idiots, whatever they say
We’re indifferent—like we’re crazy
If there's nothing stronger—than what we have
And I don't care—what they say about you
A double-edged sword—and they see you around
In front of everyone—trampling on my pride
What can I do—I guess my heart is yours
That's life
Win or lose
Lemon and salt on the wound
Keep bleeding
Planning to run away
Looking for a way out
The forbidden fruit
How many times did we say
That time is gold
Tomorrow doesn’t matter
Today is what I cherish
Your mouth and your kisses
Bring me good luck
You gave me the universe
I promised you the moon
And meanwhile—let them laugh at me
If we're two idiots, whatever they say
We’re indifferent—like we’re crazy
If there's nothing stronger—than what we have
And I don't care—what they say about you
A double-edged sword—and they see you around
In front of everyone—trampling on my pride
What can I do—I guess my heart is yours
