De La Vida se Aprende

Alex Campos' song 'De La Vida se Aprende' is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, hope, and the lessons life teaches us. The lyrics begin with a sense of perseverance despite the absence of the sun, symbolizing difficult times. Campos emphasizes the importance of continuing to love and find beauty even when things seem bleak. The imagery of forgetting the color of flowers and their scent suggests moments of despair or forgetfulness, but he encourages using a 'pencil of color' to paint over the stains of life with hope and forgiveness.

The chorus reinforces this message by suggesting that when the sky is cloudy, one should use an eraser to remove bitterness and paint the world with color. This metaphor highlights the power of perspective and the ability to transform negative experiences into positive ones. The song also draws on the innocence of children and the wisdom of the elderly, suggesting that these qualities are essential for navigating life's challenges. The repeated line 'de la vida se aprende' (from life, one learns) serves as a reminder that every experience, good or bad, is a lesson.

In the latter part of the song, Campos uses poetic imagery to describe life as a flower, water, and poetry, all elements that are essential and beautiful. He encourages the listener to see themselves as a reflection of God's love, reinforcing the idea that everyone has inherent worth and purpose. The song concludes with a sense of closure and peace, urging the listener to paint a smile in the sky and give wings to their dreams, even as the day ends and the night brings coldness. This final imagery encapsulates the song's overarching message of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of love and forgiveness.
