Un Día Más [English translation]
Un Día Más [English translation]
[Intro: Corina Smith]
The year passed by, I don't know if fast or slow
One day was summer and the other was winter
With all those changes, I was already forgetting
The last time we were celebrating
The whole world is suffering at the same time
And we even keep fighting over colours
When we should actually appreciate each other
[Chorus: Corina Smith]
That we have one more day
A new opportunity
Another story to tell
One more day
We have for celebrating
I brought something to toast
One more year we live
Where we don't cry too much, we laugh
If there is something you and I didn't do
There is still one more day, yeh
[Verse 1: Corina Smith]
I was living so fast, that I didn't put on the brakes to see
That what really matters was right here
The family, being happy and faithful to what I believe
And here I am making my life harder to impress some haters
The pressure on my shoulders to leave Venezuela quickly
And I spent almost the whole year outside the country
Looking for success, when the thing I miss
Is to see the mom's face when I wake up
[Corina Smith's Mother on her phone]
...yes honey, everything is fine here, but you're the one missing of course
it's almost a year now, feels like it's not true
but yeah, we're all fine here just like you...
[Chorus: Corina Smith]
That we have one more day
A new opportunity
Another story to tell
One more day
We have for celebrating
I brought something to toast
One more year we live
Where we don't cry too much, we laugh (oh)
If there is something you and I didn't do (oh, yes)
There is still one more day (ey), yeh
[Verse 2: Akapella]
Oh, one more day to hug mom and dad
Because today they're with you, but what if tomorrow they aren't?
One more day from so much work to emerge
You forgot the reason for living, listen
Appreciate everything because time is short
Learn a lot because there are things they don't teach in an academy
The situation on our planet is serious
And now we live confined because of a fucking pandemic
But look at it on the bright side
Enjoy the moment of withdrawal to have a conversation with yourself
And feel lucky and blessed
Cause while thousands are dying, you are still alive
[Chorus: Corina Smith]
That we have one more day
A new opportunity
Another story to tell
One more day
We have for celebrating
I brought something to toast
One more year we live
Where we don't cry too much, we laugh
If there is something you and I didn't do
There is still one more day, yeh
[Outro: Corina Smith]
Sometimes we get so stressed about what we want to have
about what we want to reach, about what we miss
So much that we don't notice that what really matters in life
We already have and those are the simplest things
It's about living the here and now, about being happy, about loving your family
Because the truth and reality is
That we are so lucky
For being alive and because we have one more day
