Verse 1

That's life, divine treasure

Or: Such is life, divine treasure

Like a game of poker where you bet it all

That's how our love was, with its highs and lows

But we didn't get lost in any shortcut

That's life, in the end, what do we have left?

You chose a road and I the sidewalk

We still love each other in different ways

Because that's life and it puts you to a test

Chorus 1

And meanwhile, let them laugh at me

If we're two idiots, whatever they want to say

We're indifferent and that we're crazy

If there's nothing stronger than our relationship

Or: If there's nothing stronger than what we have

And I don't care what they say about you

Double-edged sword and let them go to hell

In front of people, stepping on my pride

What am I going to do? My heart is yours

Verse 2

That's life, win or lose

Salt and lemon in the wound

Staying bleeding, planning a life

Looking for a route, the forbidden fruit

How many times did we say that time is gold?

If tomorrow doesn't matter if today is what I adore

It's your mouth and your kisses that bring fortune

You gave me the universe, I promised you the moon

Chorus 2

And meanwhile, let them laugh at me

If we're two idiots, whatever they want to say

We're indifferent and that we're crazy

If there's nothing stronger than our relationship

And I don't care what they say about you

Double-edged sword and let them go to hell

In front of people, stepping on my pride

What am I going to do? My heart is yours

SONG MEANING

Así es la vida is Enrique Iglesias and María Becerra’s playful reminder that love, like life, is a high-stakes poker game. The lyrics flip between sweet surrender and sharp heartbreak: one moment the couple is “betting it all,” the next they are licking wounds with “sal y limón en la herida.” Even when they drift onto different paths (“tú el camino, yo la vereda”), their bond keeps pulling them back, stronger than gossip, pride, or the double-edged sword of passion.

Running through the song is an unapologetic dare—let them laugh, call us crazy! The singers celebrate every up and down as proof that the relationship is real, alive, and worth the risk. Life will test you, hurt you, and tease you with “la fruta prohibida,” but the chorus shouts that nothing is more powerful than two hearts that choose each other again and again.
