Vida Hope (16 December 1910 – 23 December 1963) was a British film actress.
Born in Liverpool, Lancashire to theatrical parents she travelled widely as a child. She was “forbidden to go on the stage“ and therefore became a typist in an advertising office aged 16, going on to write copy. At this time however she took every chance she got to take part in amateur dramatics, managing to get the lead roles in plays by Shaw, Ibsen and Chekhov.
Following the role of the Fairy Wish-Fulfilment in the pantomime The Babes in the Wood at the Unity Theatre, she was offered a role by Herbert Farjeon in a revue The Little Revue in 1939, and worked in his revues for over three years. She gave much support and formed a strong friendship with Dirk Bogarde, in his first West End play in 1940, Diversions. During the Second World War she became a regular performer at the Players' Theatre, where her repertoire included 'Casey Jones', 'Daddy Wouldn’t Buy Me a Bow-wow', 'Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron', 'The Lady Wasn't Going that Way' and 'You May Pet Me as Much as You Please'. She played a leading role alongside Alec Guinness in the Academy Award nominated film The Man in the White Suit, as Birtha, in 1951.
En la vida no queremos sufrir
No queremos sufrir
Queremos tocar el cielo
Somos actores de ese gran escenario
Que se llama vida
Pasiones, amores, traiciones
Sueños, mentiras, porque la vida
Es una comedia de ilusiones
Nacemos, crecemos
Vivimos como nos toca
En la vida todos queremos tocar el cielo
En la vida como te quise viejita
Dicen que en esta vida
Se purgan otras vidas pasadas
Heridas de vidas pasadas
Que desconocemos
Si te va mal
No te ahorque el desaliento
Todo lo malo
Siempre trae algo bueno
Tarde o temprano
Nos llega la cuenta
De todo lo que hacemos
En la vida todos queremos tocar el cielo
En la vida como te quise viejita
En la vida no queremos sufrir
No queremos sufrir
Queremos tocar el cielo
