Also, I think that lyrics of this song are so symbolic about my grandfather´s life. He lived as the song says, at his way: with good moments, contradictions and happiness. Secondly, in the musical aspect, I think this song its so beautiful, sensitive and well composed. It has the capacity to resume an intense life in a few minutes.
