Como da Vuelta La Vida

Well, folks
These are real-life stories

I went from being a bad kid
To an adventurer, then I became a worker
One of those who gets up and turns on the news
To see if it’s cold or hot

And in my daily routine
It included having my coffee early
Then putting on a tie
And even though mine were cheap
Because I didn’t have the cash

How life turns around, how life turns around
How the clock ticks
How the world spins, how the seconds pass
How people have changed
From what we were, we are nothing now, everyone is different and we have to accept it
Our destiny is set
And each one has a path they have to walk

Once I had a girlfriend
Who was always so pure
That she never gave me anything
Every Sunday
She’d go to church
To chat with God

Now the girl isn’t so pure
She’s been married four times
And divorced again
And now she’s had four lovers
And if she likes you right away
She’ll sleep with you too

How life turns around, how life turns around
How the clock ticks
How the world spins, how the seconds pass
How people have changed
From what we were, we are nothing now, everyone is different and we have to accept it
Our destiny is set
And each one has a path they have to walk

When I was a kid, I thought
That my life would go by
Riding on a carousel

That every day would come
Only filled with joy
Traveling on paper boats

Today life has taught me
To accept what I’ve achieved
Without asking why

And even though I’ve been through jobs
Almost, almost I’ve managed
To stay on the carousel

How life turns around, how life turns around
How the clock ticks
How the world spins, how the seconds pass
How people have changed
From what we were, we are nothing now, everyone is different and we have to accept it
Our destiny is set
And each one has a path they have to walk

That faithful friend of mine
With whom I shared
So much rum

And that one who acted
Like such a ladies' man
Like a great conqueror

That faithful friend of mine
Confesses to me calmly
That today he has a new love
It’s not just any love
Because I don’t know how it happened
He turned into a flower boy, a flower boy

Oh, a mouse (turned into a flower boy)
That one, that one who acted like a big shot (turned into a flower boy)
Who thought he was a great conqueror (turned into a flower boy)
Listen to what I’m saying (turned into a flower boy)
Life is like the world, it turns around a lot (turned into a flower boy)
He had a girlfriend, look, for being a player he didn’t keep her (turned into a flower boy)
That one we drank so much rum with (turned into a flower boy)
He swore he was done, and look, hey! (turned into a flower boy)
And he confesses to me, and he confesses to me that he has a new love (turned into a flower boy)
That faithful friend of mine, I don’t know what happened to him (turned into a flower boy)
Who acted like a ladies' man (turned into a flower boy)
In the past, he was a real conqueror (turned into a flower boy)
That one, that faithful friend of mine (turned into a flower boy)
Flower boy, flower boy, flower boy, flower boy, flower boy, flower boy (turned into a flower boy)
Hear me well, hear me well what I’m saying (turned into a flower boy)

Let me tell you something
He’s not going anywhere, okay?
Wah
