Arriba La Vida
Alberto Cortez
Long Live Life
As long as there is a flower on the path,
As long as there is a friend to trust,
The infinite tenderness of children
And the desire to walk a little further.
As long as there is a stream of fresh water
And the songs of Serrat endure,
The rejection of any kind of violence,
This voice will be diverse and will sing.
Long live life, may hope not die
If we want to achieve one day
The natural balance of the scale
To live, to live, to live.
Long live life, there are no failures or defeats
That cannot be assumed if we want to.
Even if suddenly we find ourselves naked
We must continue, we must continue, we must continue.
As long as there is a dove in full flight
That the hunter cannot shoot down
And girls with jasmine in their hair
And a blooming geranium on a balcony.
As long as there is a single stray dog
And boys on a Greenpeace boat
And Mother Teresa in the world,
This voice will be diverse to say.
Long live life, let discouragement not prevail,
There are many things we have yet to achieve;
Every moment can be a good moment
To start, to start, to start.
Long live life, let's rescue joy,
May bitterness not appear around here.
A smile is the best artillery,
To live, to live, to live.
