Viví

When I walk alone on the road to God
And the calendar he gave me closes
I must take inventory of my life around here
I'll tell him if it's necessary that I lived
That I was born of flesh and bone like everyone else
That I lived every second and then some
That I lived thanks to what life offered me
Because man, the best and the worst
Just by being born is already a sinner
Without being less optimistic than the general average
I'll tell the court in my interview
That I was just an artist and never a saint
And even though I'm very selfish, that I lived
That I lived and didn't ask for more than a little friendship

That I lived just for happiness
That I lived in a thousand cities and kept to myself
Everything I learned
In the streets of the place where I was born
If my credentials are not enough for him
Or if they are superficial, I'll tell him
That of all mortals, I have been the happiest
And I'm not afraid to confess that I lived
That I lived fully every day a new love
That I lived the best of women
That I lived intensely and always carried within me
In my accent the roots of my country
Without having lived much, I must say
That I lived, that I lived
