De vez en cuando la vida
Occasionally life
Nos besa en la boca
He kisses us on the mouth
Y a colores se despliega como un atlas
And in colors it unfolds like an atlas.
Nos pasea por las calles en volandas
He walks us through the streets in volandas
Y los sentidos en buenas manos
And the senses in good hands
Se hace de nuestra medida
It is made of our measure
Toma nuestro paso
Take our step
Y saca un conejo de la vieja chistera
And take out a rabbit from the old hat
Y uno es feliz como un niño
And one is happy as a child.
Cuando sale de la escuela
When you leave school
De vez en cuando la vida
Occasionally life
Toma conmigo café
Drink coffee with me
Y esta tan bonita que da gusto verla
And it is so beautiful that it is nice to see it
Se suelta el pelo y me invita
He lets his hair down and invites me
A salir con ella a escena
To go out with her on stage
De vez en cuando la vida
Occasionally life
Se nos brinda en cueros
It is given to us in leathers
Y nos regala un sueño tan escurridizo
And he gives us such an elusive dream
Que hay que andarlo de puntillas
That you have to walk it on tiptoe
Por no romper el hechizo
For not breaking the spell
De vez en cuando la vida
Occasionally life
Afina con el pincel
Sharpen with the brush
Se nos eriza la piel, y faltan palabras
Our skin bristles, and words are missing
Para nombrar lo que ofrecen
To name what they offer
A los que saben usarla
To those who know how to use it
De vez en cuando la vida
Occasionally life
Nos gasta una broma
He plays a joke on us
Y nos despertamos sin saber qué pasa
And we wake up not knowing what's going on.
Chupando un pavo sentado
Sucking on a sitting turkey
Sobre una calabaza
On a pumpkin
