Lascio che la vita viva per me
➔ 'Lasciare che' construction (to let/allow)
➔ 'Lascio che' means 'I let' or 'I allow'. This construction is followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood (though in this case it's the indicative because it's the same form as the subjunctive of 'vivere'), indicating the action being permitted. Here, it means 'I let life live for me'.
