The Book of Life Soundtrack Lyrics






Jesse & Joy - Live Life

If you listen to the rhythm
Calling out in the dark
Can you hear it?
That's your spirit
Just follow your heart

So if you're feeling like dancing frequently
Just tune in the magic frequency
Don't worry about it 'cause we're gonna, gonna

Live life like it's a song
So turn it on and sing along
It's alright if it goes wrong
Just keep calm and carry on
On a C note

Do you wonder if the thunder
Is gonna knock at your door?
Are you waiting for the day in
All the lions will roar?

So if you're feeling like dancing frequently
Just tune in the magic frequency
Don't worry about it 'cause we're gonna, gonna

Live life like it's a song
So turn it on and sing along
It's alright if it goes wrong
Just keep calm and carry on
On a C note

Live life like it's a song
So turn it on and sing along
It's alright if it goes wrong
Just keep calm and carry on
On a C note

Live life!

La Santa Cecilia - The Apology Song

Toro I am humble, for tonight I understand,
Your royal blood was never meant to decorate this sand
You've suffered great injustice
So have thousands before you
I offer an apology, and one long over due

I am sorry, toro, I am sorry
Hear my song, I know I sing the truth
Although we were bred to fight
I reach for kindness in your heart tonight, and if you can forgive

And if you can forgive, love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live

Toro, I am frightened, but I'll use my final breath,
to tell you that I'm sorry, let us end this dance of death
Two centuries of agony, that tore your heart with sand
Here and now with my amends, this senseless giving ends

I am sorry, toro, I am sorry
Hear my song, I know I sing the truth
Although we were bred to fight
I reach for kindness in your heart tonight, and if you can forgive

And if you can forgive, love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love, love will truly live

Diego Luna - I Love You Too Much

[ Featuring Gustavo Santaolalla ]

I love you too much
To live without you loving me back
I love you too much
Heaven's my witness and this is a fact
I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours
Cause I love you too much

I live for your touch
I whisper your name night after night
I love you too much
There's only one feeling and I know it's right
I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours
Cause I love you too much

Heaven knows your name I've been
Praying to have you
Come here by my side
Without you a part of me's missing
Just to make you my own I will fight

I love you too much!

I love you too much
Heaven's my witness and this is a fact
You live in my soul
Your heart is my goal
There's love above love and it's mine
Cause I love you
There's love above love and it's yours
Cause I love you
There's love above love and it's ours
If you love me
As much

Diego Luna - I Will Wait


I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies
And I'll kneel down,
Wait for now

Manolo:
I'll kneel down,
Know my ground
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

[Spoken:]
Ay, Maria. When you were here before, I couldn't look you in the eye.

You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
But I'm a creep

What am I doing here?
I don't belong here

Biz Markie - Just a Friend

[ Featuring Cheech Marin ]

You, you got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
Oh baby you...

So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I said just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jack
Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored
So we started talking to her, gettin' familiar
Spendin' a lot of time so we can build a
Relationship or some understanding
How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doing
Everytime that I called her it seemed somethin' was brewin'
I called her room, a guy picked up, and then I called again
I said, "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
Don't gimme that man, yo don't even gimme that

You, you got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend
Oh baby you
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
Oh baby you
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend

So I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl that was so exquisite
It was a school day, so I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I as on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrived in front of the dormitory
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in the mouth,
I was so in shock my heart went down south
So please listen to the message that I send
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend

Diego Luna - No Matter Where You Are

Manolo & Maria:
I will stay by you
Even when we fall
I will be the rock, that holds you up
And lifts you high so you stand tall

Manolo:
And I won't let you fall
I won't let you--

Manolo & Maria:
Go!
No matter where you are
No matter where you are
I'll be there
No matter where you are
No matter where you are
I'll be there

Maria:
So tear apart these giant hearts
That beat inside us now
Let's give ourselves our promises
Of our unending--

All:
Vow!

Manolo:
And I won't let you fall

(Won't let you fall)

I won't let you--

Manolo & Maria:
Go!

(Won't let you go!)

No matter where you are

(No matter where)

No matter where you are

(No matter where)

I'll be there

Maria:
I will be there!

Manolo & Maria:
No matter where you are

(No matter where)

No matter where you are

(No matter where)

I'll be there!

(I will be there!)

No matter where you are

No matter where you are
I'll be there
I'll be there

Diego Luna - Te Amo y Más

[ Featuring Gustavo Santaolalla ]

Te amo y más, de lo que puedes imaginar
Te amo además, como nunca nadie jamás lo hará
En esta canción, va mi corazón
Amor más que amor es el nuestro y te lo vengo a dar

Te miró y más, y más y más te quiero mirar
Te amo y sabrás, puro sentimiento y no hay nada más
Y sueño llegar, a tu alma tocar
Amor más que amor es el nuestro y te lo vengo a dar

Ruego a Dios tenerte a mi lado
Y entonces poderte abrazar
Si no estas aquí algo falta
Yo por ti pelearé hasta el final

Y sueño llegar a tu alma tocar
Amor más que amor es el nuestro y te lo vengo a dar

¡Te amo y más!
Te amo y sabrás, que nadie como yo te amará
En esta canción, yo veo quien soy
Amor más que amor es el mío y lo siento
Amor más que amor es el tuyo y presiento
Amor más que amor es el nuestro
Si tu me... lo das

Diego Luna - Si Puedes Perdonar

[ Featuring Gustavo Santaolalla ]

Toro me da pena y te suplico perdonar?
A todos los que un día te vinieron a matar?
Sufriste la injusticia de otros tantos como tú?
Te ofresco mis disculpas, respeto y gratitud?
Me perdonas, Toro me perdonas? mi verdad está en esta canción?
Sí nos quisimos matar?
Te ruego que hoy me puedas escuchar?
Si puedes perdona si puedes perdonar?
La paz llegará?
Si puedes perdona el amor vivirá? Siempre vivirá

The Book of Life is a 2014 animated musical fantasy comedy film directed by Jorge R.

The original release had 29 tracks, and the complete score album consisting of 60 tracks, were released as a part of For Your Consideration album for the award season, and did not have a general release. The score received positive critical response, praising Santaolalla's compositions, the Mexican music and the incorporated pop songs.
