De Contramano
Enrique Santos DiscépoloLyrics
Translation
¡compañeros que preocupación
Comrades, what concern
Que es vivir para la gente!
What is living for the people!
Yo he nacido independiente
I was born independent
Y ando contra la corriente.
And I walk against the current.
Sin pararme ni escuchar
Without stopping or listening
Al que me viene a criticar.
To those who come to criticize me.
Yo no se porqué es
I don't know why it is
Que yo vivo al revés,
That I live upside down,
Si me quieren, no quiero
If they love me, I don't want
Ni puedo querer.
Nor can I love.
Y el que sepa llevarme la contra, ya sabe
And whoever knows how to oppose me, already knows
La clave y en fija me muero por él.
The key, and I would die for him.
Si me dicen, no podés fumar,
If they tell me I can't smoke,
Me dan antojos de pitar
I get cravings to puff
Yo voy de contramano
I go against the flow
Y siento frío en verano.
And I feel cold in summer.
Alegre me ven llorando
They see me happy crying
Y canto si estoy sufriendo,
And I sing if I'm suffering,
Yo sola me se entender
I alone understand myself
Y se comprender lo que estoy sintiendo.
And I understand what I am feeling.
Total si la vida es corta,
After all, if life is short,
Total a nadie le importa
After all, no one cares
Si voy contra la corriente
If I go against the current
Si soy como soy.
If I am how I am.
Nunca me ha llamado la atención
I have never been interested
Lo de eva y la manzana,
In the story of Eve and the apple,
Y porque de eva soy hermana,
And because I am Eve's sister,
Y tentarse es cosa humana
And to be tempted is human,
Le dijeron, "no comás",
They told her, "Don't eat,"
Y ella, ¡zas, se la comió!
And she, bam, ate it!
