A Contracorriente

Against the Current

A Contracorriente

My bets were zero to twentyMis apuestas iban cero a veinte
Everyone told me not to even tryTodos me decían que ni lo intente
And in history there's no one to tellY en la historia no hay nadie que cuente
Of princesses with lunaticsDe princesas con dementes
She is everything a man hopes forElla es todo lo que un hombre espera
I am a mistake everywhereYo soy un error por donde quiera
She is a beautiful spring flowerElla es bella flor de primavera
And I a crude creeperY yo una burda enredadera

But the heart doesn't understandPero el corazón no entiende
When passion assaults itCuando la pasión lo asalta
And achieves the impossible out of nowhereY logra de la nada lo imposible
To make it happenEn realizar
I saw her against the currentLa vi a contracorriente
And bet on nothingY aposté por nada
I played to cross the bridgeJugue a cruzar el puente
In just one moveEn solo una jugada
And I came to discoverY vine a descubrir
That in love you canQue en el amor se puede
Make a dream come trueHacer un sueño realidad
I rose to touch the skySubí a tocar el cielo
Without having wingsSin tener las alas
And I could take flightY pude alzar el vuelo
With her golden skinCon su piel dorada
And now that I have youY ahora que te tengo
Every dawn I knowCada madrugada sé que
There are no rules for lovingNo hay reglas para amar

There are people who aHay gente que a un
Heart doesn't lie toCorazón no miente
When it's realCuando es de verdad
What is feltLo que se siente
If love attacks, it dependsSi el amor ataca de depende
It's not thought with the mindNo se piensa con la mente
The bets goLas apuestas van
From twenty to zeroDe veinte a cero
And in the nightY en la noche
I stole a starMe robé un lucero
It's the story of a sincere loveEs la historia de un amor sincero
She loves me and I love herElla me ama y yo la quiero

Because the heart doesn't understandPorque el corazón no entiende
When passion assaults itCuando la pasión lo asalta
And achieves the impossible out of nowhereY logra de la nada lo imposible
To make it happenEn realizar

I saw her against the currentLa vi a contracorriente
And bet on nothingY aposté por nada
I played to cross the bridgeJugue a cruzar el puente
In just one moveEn solo una jugada
And I came to discoverY vine a descubrir
That in love you canQue en el amor se puede
Make a dream come trueHacer un sueño realidad
I rose to touch the skySubí a tocar el cielo
Without having wingsSin tener las alas
And I could take flightY pude alzar el vuelo
With her golden skinCon su piel dorada
And now that I have youY ahora que te tengo
Every dawn I knowCada madrugada sé que
There are no rules for lovingNo hay reglas para amar

HeyEh
I played to cross the bridgeJugue a cruzar el puente
In just one moveEn solo una jugada
And I came to discoverY vine a descubrir
That in love you canQue en el amor se puede
Make a dream come trueHacer un sueño realidad

And I could take flightY pude alzar el vuelo
With her golden skinCon su piel dorada
And now that I have youY ahora que te tengo
Every dawn I knowCada madrugada sé que
There are no rules for lovingNo hay reglas para amar
