Marc Anthony - Viviendo - To Live

On my way to work this song came up on the radio and I thought "wow, I actually went into a CD store and bought that CD". It was probably the last time I went into a music store. Oh sweet teenage years, but this CD was a precious piece. I've always loved Marc Anthony and the songs he chooses to sing. So full of passion and truth that I'm automatically drawn to it. The orchestra on this track is just awesome, pure and skillful at playing salsa. I went on looking for the translation and they were all missing the best part. Us Panamanians call it "El Pregon". So I took my time to translate those. Pregones are a summary to the whole song. The summary to what we just learned. Enjoy it :-)

Maybe you were right

Maybe you were right

And it was useless to hide

Or dream with promising so many things

Maybe you were right

Maybe you were right

And that fear you felt

That screamed and lost so many things 

It was me.

And it would've been so easy

To not entangle our destinies

And let our paths continue separate

But maybe I was right

And we only had to

Live

Ay!, without fears, without excuses

Live

Inventing something crazy

Live

How God would've wanted

Live

Remembering what's forgotten

Live

Rescuing what was lost

Live

And to even loose life

Living

It's a matter of heart

It's a matter of heart

ay! to die trying

To feel every moment

So many things

So many things

That even if they hurt

Are the essence of life

Maybe be I was right

And we only had to

Live

Ay!, without fears, without excuses

Live

Inventing something crazy

 Ay! Live

How God would've wanted

Live

Remembering what's forgotten

Live

Rescuing what was lost

Live

And to even loose life

Oh Living

(We only had to live)

To live, to live, 

We only have to live

(We only had to live)

How God would've wanted 

Give each other love

(We only had to live)

It's a matter of heart

To give everything

(We only had to live)

We have to live, live

I'm telling you nena

We only have to live

(Only live)

I want to be with you

I don't want to suffer

Come and tell me yes

(Only live)

Give everything

(Only Live)

Ohh ma
