I like the smell that the morning has

I like the first sip of coffee

To feel when the sun peeks through my window

And it fills my gaze with a beautiful sunrise

I like to hear the peace of the mountains

To watch the colors of the sunset

To feel the beach sand on my feet

And the cane's sweetness when I kiss my woman

I know, I know that time is in a hurry

To wipe me from the list

But I tell it that

Oh, how beautiful this life is

And though sometimes it hurts so much

And in spite of the sorrows

There's always someone that loves us

There's always someone that watches over us

Ay, ay, ay, ay

How beautiful this life is

And even though it's not forever

If I live it with my people

It's beautiful until death

With songs and tequila

I like to hear the voice of a guitar

To toast to that friend that left

To feel the embrace of dawn

And to fill my gaze with another beautiful sunrise

I like to hear the peace of the mountains

To watch the colors of the sunset

To feel the beach sand on my feet

And the cane's sweetness when I kiss my woman

I know, I know that time is in a hurry

To wipe me from the list

But I tell it that

Oh, how beautiful this life is

And though sometimes it hurts so much

And in spite of the sorrows

There's always someone that loves us

There's always someone that watches over us

Ay, ay, ay, ay

How beautiful this life is

And even though it's not forever

If I live it with my people

It's beautiful until death

With songs and tequila

Ay, ay, ay, ay

How beautiful this life is

pesares — sorrows / regrets

Pesares translates to "sorrows" or "regrets." It's a more formal and poetic word than common alternatives like tristezas (sadness) or problemas (problems), making it stand out.

In the song, the line "Y a pesar de los pesares" means "And despite all the sorrows." It beautifully conveys a message of resilience and finding joy even when facing difficulties, which is a central theme of the song.

Alex Fernández invites us on a joyful sensory tour of everyday wonders: the aroma of morning coffee, the warmth of the rising sun, the hush of the mountains, and the kiss of ocean sand on bare feet. Each image is a small celebration of life’s simplest gifts, turning ordinary moments into treasures. Even when he thinks about time rushing by, he answers with a smile and a toast, reminding us that someone is always loving and caring for us.

The chorus is a heartfelt shout of gratitude: Qué bonita es esta vida! Life might sting sometimes, it might not last forever, but if we live it with our people—singing songs, hugging friends, clinking glasses of tequila—it stays beautiful right up to the end. This song is a Spanish sunbeam, warming listeners with optimism and encouraging them to savor every sunrise, every guitar chord, and every shared laugh.
