Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Actuar Para Vivir by Juan Carlos Baglietto from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Y te aplaudirán, te aplastarán
And they will applaud you, they will crush you.
Aquí la frustración, la piel, las ganas
Here the frustration, the skin, the desire
Aquí serás payaso y domador
Here you will be a clown and a tamer
Aquí serás el juez y el perdedor
Here you will be the judge and the loser
Aquí se invertirán los roles
Here the roles will be reversed
Usted que está allí
You who are there
Nosotros arriba
About Us Top
La calle, el escenario
The street, the stage
Digamos mejor
Let's say better
Que es necesario
What is necessary
Actuar para vivir
Acting to live
Y en un fatal primer
And in a fatal first
Acto nacemos
Act we are born
Cambiando siempre
Always changing
El vestuario y el juego
The locker room and the game
Siempre tras la emoción
Always after the emotion
Que es el sueldo esencial
What is the essential salary
Siempre tras la noche
Always after the night
Y las mesas de café
And the coffee tables
Jaqueamos la inteligencia
We check the intelligence
Como peón al rey
As a pawn to the king
Jaqueamos la inteligencia
We check the intelligence
La hacemos canción
We make it song
Toda esa magia escondida
All that hidden magic
La de los altos telones
The one with the high curtains
No es nada más
It's nothing more
Que un anhelo de dos
That a longing of two
La gente, el actor
The people, the actor
Las ganas de verse ahí
The desire to see yourself there
Se escuchó el último aplauso
The last applause was heard
Se fueron todas las luces
All the lights are gone
Quedaron solo fantasmas de ayer
Only ghosts of yesterday were left
Sin nombre, sin tez
No name, no complexion
Mañana quizás este el mío
Tomorrow maybe mine is
