Translation:
Ya me harté de estar aburrido,
No tengo más tiempo que perder,
Me voy a largar en busca de un sueño,
De nuevo a empezar, un nuevo día vendrá.
I have had it up to here with being bored,
I have no more time to lose,
I am going to leave in search of a dream,
Starting over anew, a new day will come.
Yo no sé que hay en el camino,
Pero lo tengo que cruzar,
Si tropiezo y me caigo en el intento,
Me paro otra vez,
No hay nada que perder.
I do not know what lies on my path,
But I have to cross it,
If I trip and fall in the attempt,
I stand again,
There is nothing to lose.
Chorus:
——————————
No hay nada que perder,
Tienen que entender,
Que uno tiene que luchar.
There is nothing to lose,
You have to understand,
That one has to fight.
No hay nada que temer,
En mí tengo que creer,
Y nadie me va a parar.
There is nothing to fear,
In myself I must believe,
And nobody will stop me.
——————————
La vida no son rosas,
Y a veces te puedes espinar.
Cuando sienta que tengo
El mundo en mi contra,
Lucharé hasta el final,
Nadie me va a parar.
Life is not roses,
And at times you can prick yourself.
When I feel that I have
The world against me,
I will fight to the end,
Nobody will stop me.
[Chorus: “No hay nada que perder…”]
Yo tengo que vivir,
El tiempo es corto,
Tengo valor y no temor, porque,
Yo creo en algo,
Yo tengo que soñar,
Así nadie me va a parar,
Así puedo volar.
I have to live,
Time is short,
I have valor and not fear, because,
I believe in something,
I have to dream,
That way nobody will stop me,
That way I can fly.
No dudaré,
Yo sé quien yo soy,
Y hacia donde yo voy.
I will not doubt,
I know who I am,
And which way I am headed.
Oh, no dudaré,
Si yo sigo a mi corazón,
Todo es posible.
Oh, I will not doubt,
If I follow my heart,
Everything is possible.
[Chorus: “No hay nada que perder…“]
No hay nada que perder,
No hay nada que temer.
(x2)
There is nothing to lose,
There is nothing to fear,
(x2)
No hay nada que temer. [Repeated]
There is nothing to fear. [Repeated]
Con valor,
Lucharé por siempre.
Sin temer,
Haré lo imposible.
Lucharé por siempre,
Haré lo imposible.
With valor,
I will fight forever.
Without fear,
I will do the impossible.
I will fight forever,
I will do the impossible.

You’re not mishearing. Maná is using a singular noun (la vida) and then a plural verb (son) and I don’t see why either. I think it might be for rhythm purposes. I tried looking the phrase up on Google to see if it was a common expression somewhere, but I just found the lyrics for this song.
