Dos Días En La Vida
Celia Cruz
Two Days in Life
There are two days in life
That I wasn’t born for
Two moments in life
That don’t exist for me
Certain things in life
Weren’t made for me
There are two days in life
That I wasn’t born for
The first of those days
Was when I met you
I got caught up in your lies
And I fell for you
For your quirks, for your laughter
For your will to live
For the cruelty of your touches
That I thought would make me die
There are two days in life
That I wasn’t born for
Two moments in life
That don’t exist for me
Those things in life
Weren’t made for me
There are two days in life
That I wasn’t born for
(Improvisations)
The second of those days
Was right when I lost you
Your fake smile disappeared
And my will to live
The lies have run out
And from all that I learned
That there are two days in life
That I wasn’t born for
There are two days in life
That I wasn’t born for
Two moments in life
That don’t exist for me
Certain things in life
Weren’t made for me
There are two days in life
That I wasn’t born for
There are two days in my life
These days of life
Aren’t for me
There are two days in my life
You deceived me
And because of you, I thought I’d die
There are two days in my life
I don’t want to remember your kisses
Better I’ll go
There are two days in my life
The first was really good
And the second
I swallowed all summer
That your kisses brought
I soaked up the suffering
That your smile hid
I discovered over time
I lost all respect
You compared my feelings
With your crimson lips
In your lips, I got lost
You deceived me
And because of you, I thought I’d die
These days aren’t for me
