Love is worth living... a sunset. Vale la pena vivir is backed by Adalberto Alvarez.
It is worth living for a sunset, for a night of love, it is worth it. It is worth living for the smell of a flower, for seeing a hurricane pass by, it is worth it. To see you smile, it is worth it, to live in my country, it is worth living, to walk along the boardwalk, or to travel on a plane, to sing this song, it is worth it, for a hot August, for a new love and a better future, it is worth it. For someone to grow up happy, it is worth living, to see your gray hair, it is worth it. To dream or to love, to laugh or to cry and even to suffer, it is worth living, even if you have to start every morning in the same place. It is worth living, even if you have to die, it is worth it, it is worth it. Get to know Cuba first and the foreigner later. The era is giving birth to a heart, it is dying of pain. Thanks to life that has given me so much. This tenderness that I feel today I will spread in my song. I have to walk the roads Although I know there will be tears. I always love life, I reach out my hand to my brother.
Vale la pena vivir por una puesta de sol,
por una noche de amor, vale la pena.
Vale la pena vivir por el olor de una flor,
por ver pasar un ciclón, vale la pena.
Por verte sonreír, vale la pena,
por vivir en mi país vale la pena vivir,
por pasear el malecón, o viajar en un avión,
por cantar esta canción, vale la pena,
por un agosto de calor, por un nuevo amor
y un futuro mejor, vale la pena.
Porque alguien crezca feliz, vale la pena vivir,
por ver tu pelo de gris vale la pena.
Por soñar o por amar, por reír o por llorar
y hasta por sufrir, vale la pena vivir,
aunque tenga que empezar cada mañana por el mismo lugar.
Vale la pena vivir, aunque tenga que morir,
vale la pena, vale la pena.
Conozca a Cuba primero y el extranjero después.
La era está pariendo un corazón, se muere de dolor.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Esta ternura que siento hoy
La voy a extender en mi canto.
Tengo que andar los caminos
Aunque yo sé que habrá llanto.
Yo siempre quiero a la vida,
Tiendo la mano al hermano.
