La Vida Decidió Lyrics in English Emmanuel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Vida Decidió by Emmanuel from Spanish to English.
Árboles pintados
Painted trees
De recuerdo y sol
Of memory and sun
La tierra que tu padre sembro
The land your father sowed
Solo es maleza hoy
It's only weeds today
Eras solo un niño
You were just a child
Con ganas de volar
With a desire to fly
Jugando con preguntas que aun
Playing with questions that still
No puedes contestar
You can't answer
Creiste poderte hallar
You thought you could find yourself
En otro corazon
In another heart
Y el tiempo fallo al final
And time failed in the end
En contra del amor
Against love
Y no puedes robar tiempo al reloj
And you can't steal time from the clock
La vida decidio
Life decided
Y el pozo de deceos se seco
And the well of wishes dried up
Y hoy eres
And today you are
Tan solo el constructor
Only the builder
De un hogar que se rempio
Of a home that broke
Se rompio
It broke
Cercas alambradas
Barbed wire fences
Con a decepcion
With disappointment
Gritan que tus sueños de ayer
They scream that your dreams of yesterday
Eran solo una ilusión
Were only an illusion
Y hoy quisiera saber porque
And today I'd like to know why
Cual es la explicación
What's the explanation
Guardaste el amor tan bien
You kept love so well
Que se te perdio
That you lost it
Y no puedes robar tiempo al reloj
And you can't steal time from the clock
La vida decidio
Life decided
Y el pozo de deceos se seco
And the well of wishes dried up
Y hoy eres
And today you are
Tan solo el constructor
Only the builder
De un hogar que se rempio
Of a home that broke
Se rompio
It broke
Y veras que al final
And you'll see that in the end
La vida continuara
Life will go on
Contigo y sin ti
With you and without you
Creiste poderte hallar
You thought you could find yourself
En otro corazon
In another heart
Y el tiempo fallo al final
And time failed in the end
En contra del amor
Against love
Y no puedes robar tiempo al reloj
And you can't steal time from the clock
La vida decidio
Life decided
Y el pozo de deceos se seco
And the well of wishes dried up
Y hoy eres
And today you are
Tan solo el constructor
Only the builder
De un hogar que se rempio
Of a home that broke
Se rompio
It broke
Y no puedes robar tiempo al reloj
And you can't steal time from the clock
La vida decidio
Life decided
Y el pozo de deceos se seco
And the well of wishes dried up
Y hoy eres
And today you are
Tan solo el constructor
Only the builder
De un hogar que se rempio
Of a home that broke
Se rompió
It broke

Did you like this lyrics translation?
maleza — weeds / undergrowth
Maleza translates to "weeds" or "undergrowth." It's a less common word in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, it's used metaphorically to describe how something once valuable, like the land a father sowed, has become overgrown and neglected. This imagery of decay and loss is central to the song's theme of broken dreams and disappointment, making it a poignant and memorable choice.
