My knees and heart are scraped
It's becoming difficult to walk in the jungle
The heat makes everything more complicated
Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing here, it's driving me crazy
Deep down, I try to listen
To the advice of these people who claim to be wise
They tell me "slow down, take it easy"
"You have your whole life to make yourself sick"

But I've spent my whole life letting my heart speak
Even if the strength of its cries leads me astray

Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?
Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?

I always have a knack for messing up
I just want to do what I'm told not to do
I run and rush down the trails
Without looking at the vines that litter the floor
Deep down, I try to listen
Mistakes are made to learn, not to repeat
Over and over without despair
Sooner or later it will sink in

But I've spent my whole life letting my heart speak
Even if the strength of its cries leads me astray

Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?
Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?

I've looked for it though, I've sought it
I come back each time as if it were the first
Without limit and without a sequence of ideas
I charge straight into the pile like a lioness into her prey (pah)
Let its magnet attract
Predator of nonsense and bad ideas
I persist in understanding but I don't want to go there
I think it will never sink in

But I've spent my whole life listening to rumors
Even if the strength of their cries leads me astray

Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?
Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?

Pura vida (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?
Pure, pure, pura vida, pure for life
Why did you make me of this wood?
