Intro
And let them bring me more bottles
To wash away the taste of her sweat
And let them put it on my tab
All the misfortune that she left
That's life, buddy
Verse 1
That you don't want anything else from me
You went off with that loser
Who cares
That depression is going to kill me
That I’ll drown myself in alcohol
Who cares
That you left without saying goodbye
That you won't sleep on my mattress
Who cares
That you ruined my reputation
That you don't give a damn about this love
Who cares
That I loved you too much
And that nobody has loved you like me
Chorus 1
That's life, whimsical
Sometimes dark, sometimes rosy
That's life, boisterous
It takes, it gives, it lifts you up, it brings you down, and sometimes it hands it to you
That's life, whimsical
Sometimes dark, sometimes rosy
That's life, boisterous
It takes, it gives, it lifts you up, it brings you down, and sometimes it hands it to you
That's life, hey!
Verse 2
That you bled my heart dry
That the nation will bring me justice
Who cares
That your life is like a carnival
That sooner or later you'll come back
Who cares
And that I loved you too much
And that nobody has loved you like me
Chorus 2
That's life, whimsical
Sometimes dark, sometimes rosy
That's life, boisterous
It takes, it gives, it lifts you up, it brings you down, and sometimes it hands it to you
That's life!
Chorus 2
That's life, whimsical
Sometimes dark, sometimes rosy
That's life, boisterous
It takes, it gives, it lifts you up, it brings you down, and sometimes it hands it to you
That's life
So whimsical
Sometimes black
Sometimes pink
That's life
Boisterous
Oh, darling, I'm leaving your life and you keep dancing
That's life, whimsical
Sometimes black sometimes pink
That's life, boisterous
It takes, it gives, it lifts you up, it brings you down, and sometimes it hands it to you

SONG MEANING

Así Es La Vida is the sound of a broken heart trying to drown its sorrows in a noisy cantina. The singer orders “más botellas” to wash away the taste of a lover who ran off with “ese infeliz.” Between swigs he fires off a list of complaints: ruined reputation, sleepless nights, looming depression. Each one is followed by the defiantly shrugged “¿Qué importa?”— a raw, Mexican way of saying “So what?” or “Who cares?” that bares the sting of wounded pride while pretending it doesn’t hurt.

Yet the chorus flips the mood into a bittersweet celebration: “Así es la vida… a veces negra, a veces color rosa.” Life is fickle, sometimes dark, sometimes bright pink. It takes, it gives, it lifts you up, it knocks you down, and occasionally lets you win. Over a lively pop-rock groove with fiesta touches, Elefante turns heartbreak into a playful philosophy lesson: accept the chaos, keep dancing, and remember that even the worst night can end in a song, a laugh, or at least another round. ¡Salud!
