Se a Vida É (That's the Way Life Is) – English Lyrics

• By: Pet Shop Boys

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Come outside and see a brand new day

The troubles in your mind will blow away

It's easy to believe they're here to stay

But you won't find them standing in your way

Se a vida é, I love you

Come outside and feel the morning sun

Se a vida é, I love you

Life is much more simple when you're young

Come on, essa vida é

That's the way life is, that's the way life is

Although we see the world through different eyes

We share the same idea of paradise

So don't search in the stars for signs of love

Look around your life, you'll find enough

Se a vida é, I love you

Come outside and feel the morning sun

Se a vida é, I love you

Life is much more simple when you're young

Come on, essa vida é

That's the way life is, that's the way life is

Why do you want to sit alone in Gothic gloom

Surrounded by the ghosts of love that haunt your room?
