La Vida Lyrics in English by Mike Bahia
Centramos comes from the verb centrar, meaning "to center" or "to focus". While it's a common verb, its use in this context highlights a profound message about perspective.
In the song, Mike Bahía sings, "Nos centramos en el lugar / Cuando lo importante es / Y siempre será la compañía" (We focus on the place / When what's important is / And always will be the company). This line uses centramos to contrast superficial concerns with the true value of human connection, making it a thought-provoking word choice.
Mike Bahía's "La Vida" is such a sweet reminder about what truly matters! He starts by admitting, "Cosas que no vi Fue con el tiempo que entendí" [Things I didn't see It was with time that I understood], realizing that happiness is actually quite simple, even if being happy can be hard. He makes you think about how easy it is to smile, be kind, or say hello to someone on the street.
He really hits home with the line, "Yo era feliz y no sabía Supongo que así es la vida" [I was happy and didn't know I guess that's life]. It's a feeling many of us can relate to, right? We often get so focused on the 'where' in life, when, as Mike says, "lo importante es Y siempre será la compañía" [what's important is And always will be the company]. It's all about the people you share your life with, not the place you're in.
