Weird Dream
I dream a lot. I just woke up from a nap, after falling asleep reading.
This song was playing in my dream “The Paths of Life” a Bachata song by Vicentico.
When I was looking online to find the lyrics, and I came upon the title of Juanes’ latest CD titled: “Life is but a Little Time.” They are both Colombian artists.
Then in my dream, I dreamt of a big store totally deserted, while hundreds of people set up tents outside the parking lot of this ghostly mega store, to set up points of sales.
Anyway here is the translated version of the song…while translating it, it dawned on me, I had no intention to visit my family for Thanksgiving. I intend to spend it reading.
Vicentico - The Paths Of Life lyrics ( Los Caminos de la Vida)
The paths of life,
They are not as I hoped
They are not like I believed,
They are not what I imagined.
The paths of the life...They are very difficult to walk them,
Difficult to walk them
And I can’t find the exit
I thought that the life was different when I was little,
I thought things were different
They were easy like yesterday
That my mother worried
She tried to give everything that I Needed
I realize now that it was not as much like that
I realize that I saw my mother tired of working so hard for my brother and for me
Now in earnest I want to help her
And for her fight until the end, until I die
And for her, I don’t want to die
Also I don’t want my old lady to die
Yet I know that destiny is like that
The paths of the life,
They are not as I hoped
They are not like I believed,
They are not what I imagined.
The paths of the life
they are very difficult to walk them, Difficult to walk them
and I can’t find the exit
I thought that the life was different when I was little,
I thought things were different
they were easy like yesterday
