Oso or any one
Just wrote a great story for my next book and I want to title it "That's Life" in Spanish--I think that would be "Esa es Vida" but wonder if there
would be a better/more interesting usage out there.

It depends on the subject, Esa es Vida would be like living the life, like the good life, Asi es la Vida would be that's life or such is life, Que
Vida would be what a life.
I remember that when someone would say "Hay que Vida"(man, what a life) my grandmother would resond, Y tener que vivirla (and to have to live it)

I agree with fdt. That's exactly how it would be.

You already have the answer, Bern. I'm pretty sure "Asi es La Vida" is what you want.
BTW, there's a great song performed by the group "Elefante' with that title. If I can find the lyrics, I'll post them.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Asi es la vida
ASI ES LA VIDA
SUCH IS LIFE (Spanish)
Y que me traigan mas botellas,
Para quitarme este sabor de su sudor,
Y que me apunten en la cuenta,
Toda la desgracia que dejo.
Que no quieres nada mas de m??,
Que te fuiste con ese infeliz,
Que importa (?como dice?),
Que importa,
Que me va a matar la depresi?n,
Que voy a vivir en el alcohol,
Que importa (dejala deja),
Que importa. Que te fuiste sin decir adi?s,
Que no dormiras en mi colchon,
Que importa (como? como?),
Que importa,
Que ensuciaste mi reputacion,
Que te vale madres este amor,
Que importa (como dice? como?),
Que importa (mami).
Que te quise demasiado,
Y que nadie te ha querido como yo..
Asi es la vida de caprichosa,
a veces negra, a veces color rosa,
asi? es la vida jacarandosa,
te quita, te ponem, te sube, te baja,
y a veces te lo da...
Asi es la vida de caprichosa,
a veces negra, a veces color rosa,
asi? es la vida jacarandosa,
te quita, te ponem, te sube, te baja,
y a veces te lo da...
Que me desangraste el corazon,
Que me hara justicia la nacion,
Que importa (como no, como no),
Que importa (y que dira),
Que tu vida es como un carnaval,
Que tarde o temprano volveras,
Que importa (como dice? como?),
Que importa. Y que te quise demasiado,
y que nadie te ha querido como yo...
Asi es la vida de caprichosa,
a veces negra, a veces color rosa,
asi? es la vida jacarandosa,
te quita, te ponem, te sube, te baja,
y a veces te lo da...
Asi es la vida de caprichosa,
a veces negra, a veces color rosa,
asi? es la vida jacarandosa,
te quita, te ponem, te sube, te baja,
y a veces te lo da... (Asi es la vida)
Escuchame negra
(de caprichosa)
Me dejaste esperando
(a veces negra)
Me jugue la camisa
(a veces color rosa) y perdi hasta el encanto
(Asi es la vida) Chica asi es la vida
(jacarandosa) Ya me estoy desangrando
Hay mamita querida me voy de tu vida y tu sigues bailando...
Asi es la vida de caprichosa,
a veces negra, a veces color rosa,
asi? es la vida jacarandosa,
te quita, te ponem, te sube, te baja,
y a veces te lo da...

Sounds a lot like "La vida Campechana" which refers to life in Campeche but could maybe apply to Baja. The image thus conjured is one of lazy
abundance of seafood, tropical fruit etc.

So much context
so little time
