Diego Torres

Yo
he vivido para tanta gente, que a veces no
No me encuentro ni viendo al espejo, no sé quién soy

I
have lived for so many people, that sometimes I
I don’t even recognize myself when looking in the mirror, I don’t know who I am

He pasado glorias y penas
Aunque no ha sido fácil, aquí estoy
Para dejar mi huella en la arena

I’ve experienced glories and sorrows
Although it hasn’t been easy, here I am
To leave my mark in the sand

Viví la vida a tu manera
Que el tiempo pasa y no te espera (woh-oh-oh-oh)
Siento que el techo hace kapun, kapun, se desespera
Y el corazón hace kapun, kapun, pa’ que me quieras
Yo vivo a mi manera
Yo vivo a mi manera

I lived as you wanted
But time keeps moving and doesn’t wait for you (woh-oh-oh-oh)
I feel the ceiling go kapun, kapun, it’s anxious
And the heart goes kapun, kapun, so you’ll love me
I live as you want
I live as you want

Tú
Que has vivo y llorado tus ojos por la ingratitud
Hoy que somos dos buenos amigos, no sabes tú

You,
who have lived and cried your eyes out over ingratitude
Today, now that we’re two good friends, you don’t know

He pasado glorias y penas
Y aunque no ha sido fácil, aquí estoy
Para dejar mi huella en la arena

I’ve experienced glories and sorrows
And although it hasn’t been easy, here I am
To leave my mark in the sand

Viví la vida a tu manera
Que el tiempo pasa y no te espera
Siento que el techo hace kapun, kapun, se desespera
Y el corazón hace kapun, kapun, pa’ que me quieras
Yo vivo a mi manera (yeh-oh)
Yo vivo a mi manera (yeh-yeh)

I lived as you wanted
But time keeps moving and doesn’t wait for you
I feel the ceiling go kapun, kapun, it’s anxious
And the heart goes kapun, kapun, so you’ll love me
I live as you want (yeh-oh)
I live as you want (yeh-yeh)

Déjame quererte a la colombiana
Hay un mundo nuevo debajo de mi ruana
Aguardiente de noche y café en las mañana’
Que vuela en la tarde arepas asadas
Vamo’ pa’ Colombia, que la vida es corta
Lo que comenten, ¿a quién le importa?
Para escaparno’ de la rutina
Déjame quererte a mi manera argentina

Let me love you the Colombian way
There’s a whole new world under my poncho
Aguardiente at night and coffee in the morning
Flying in the afternoon with roasted arepas
Let’s go to Colombia, life is short
What people say, who cares?
To escape from routine
Let me love you my Argentine way

Viví la vida a tu manera (Eh, eh)
Que pasa el tren y no te espera
Siento que el techo hace kapun, kapun, se desespera
Y el corazón hace kapun, kapun, pa’ que me quieras
Yo vivo a mi manera (yeh-oh)
Yo vivo a mi manera (yeh-yeh-yeh)

I lived as you wanted (Eh, eh)
But time keeps moving and doesn’t wait for you
I feel the ceiling go kapun, kapun, it’s anxious
And the heart goes kapun, kapun, so you’ll love me
I live as you want (yeh-oh)
I live as you want (yeh-yeh-yeh)

Yo vivo a mi manera
Voy a donde quiera (yeh-oh)
Yo vivo a mi manera
Siguiendo las estrella’ (yeh-yeh-yeh)
Cantando en la vereda
Guiando a tus cadera’
Con Messi en la remera
Quiero un flan de ciruela
Yo vivo a mi manera

I live my way
I go wherever I want (yeh-oh)
I live my way
Following the stars (yeh-yeh-yeh)
Singing on the sidewalk
Guiding your hips
With Messi on my shirt
I want a plum flan
I live my way
