Story Behind The Song
From the movie Frida by composer Elliot Goldenthal ~ lyrics Hernan Bravo Varela ~ also relevant to our world today...(see lyrics below + English translation to come) I love this song so much I made it the title song to my latest album, a collection of original songs and several of my favorites over the years from my days living in Mexico ~ the artwork by Pamela Price is a perfect match for the video (Youtube-Facebook)

Lyrics
VIVA LA VIDA
Viva la vida
Que ayer, que ayer se fue
Vivan la sombras de mis voces llorando lejos
Vivan los sueños que nunca despertaron mi amor
Felicidad - que importa ya
Si canto a la luz de tu sombra
Viva la vida
Que ayer, que ayer se fue
Vivan las noches de tus voces
Durmiendo lejos
Vivan los sueños que nunca despertaron mi amor
Felicidad - que importa ya
Si canto a la luz de tu sombra
Felicidad - Felicidad
Tomando el mescal de la luna
Viva la vida -- Viva la vida
