Nuestra historia comenzó con palabras de amor 00:20
Oh, Dios, qué gran amor 00:25
Y es verdad, me diste a mí un mundo de calor 00:30
Que yo te lo devolví 00:36
Y te confié sin pudor todo mi corazón 00:40
De canción en canción 00:46
Yo te quise hacer soñar con lo mejor de mí 00:51
Que te fui a entregar 00:56
Es mi vida, es mi vida 01:00
¿Qué puedo hacer si ella me eligió? 01:05
Es mi vida, no es un infierno 01:10
Tampoco es un edén 01:15
01:19
Mi candor, mi poca edad, te hacían emocionar 01:21
Y nos sentíamos volar 01:27
Pero cuando en el cielo el sol se cambió de lugar 01:32
Sentí tu frialdad 01:37
Mi risa y mi llanto, la noche y la luz 01:41
Nacen siempre de ti 01:47
Vivo bajo tu encanto, a veces me adulas 01:52
'Pues te olvidas de mí 01:57
Es mi vida, es mi vida 02:01
¿Qué puedo hacer si ella me eligió? 02:06
Es mi vida, no es un infierno 02:12
Tampoco es un edén 02:16
02:19
Busqué las cadenas que me atan a ti 02:43
Como a una bendición 02:48
Ante a ti en escena yo encuentro mi país 02:53
Mi tierra, mi razón 02:59
Si a veces estoy triste, mi derecho a llorar 03:03
Te lo sacrifiqué 03:09
Pero ante en ti existo, gano el premio mayor 03:14
Cada noche nacer 03:20
Es mi vida, es mi vida 03:23
¿Qué puedo hacer si ella me eligió? 03:28
Es mi vida, no es un infierno 03:33
Tampoco es un edén 03:38
03:41
Es mi vida, es mi vida 03:43
¿Qué puedo hacer si ella me eligió? 03:48
Es mi vida, no es un infierno 03:54
Tampoco es un edén 03:58

Lyrics & Translation

Explore the poignant reflections of Salvatore Adamo's "Es Mi Vida." This song offers a nuanced perspective on life's journey, encouraging listeners to embrace its complexities and find meaning in their own experiences.

[English]
Our story began with words of love
Oh, God, what a great love
And it's true, you gave me a world of warmth
Which I returned to you
And I entrusted you without shame with all my heart
From song to song
I wanted to make you dream with the best of me
That I was going to give you
It's my life, it's my life
What can I do if she chose me?
It's my life, it's not hell
Neither is it a paradise
...
My innocence, my youth, moved you
And we felt like flying
But when in the sky the sun changed its place
I felt your coldness
My laughter and my tears, the night and the light
Are always born from you
I live under your spell, sometimes you flatter me
Because you forget about me
It's my life, it's my life
What can I do if she chose me?
It's my life, it's not hell
Neither is it a paradise
...
I sought the chains that bind me to you
Like a blessing
Before you on stage, I find my country
My land, my reason
If sometimes I'm sad, my right to cry
I sacrificed it to you
But before you I exist, I win the greatest prize
To be born every night
It's my life, it's my life
What can I do if she chose me?
It's my life, it's not hell
Neither is it a paradise
...
It's my life, it's my life
What can I do if she chose me?
It's my life, it's not hell
Neither is it a paradise
...
