De Contramano

Against the law

De Contramano

colleagues, what a concern¡compañeros que preocupación
What is living for people!Que es vivir para la gente!
I was born independentYo he nacido independiente
And I'm going against the current.Y ando contra la corriente.
Without stopping or listeningSin pararme ni escuchar
The one who comes to criticize me.Al que me viene a criticar.

I don't know why it isYo no se porqué es
That I live backwards,Que yo vivo al revés,
If they want me, I don't wantSi me quieren, no quiero
I can't even want to.Ni puedo querer.
And whoever knows how to contradict me, already knowsY el que sepa llevarme la contra, ya sabe
The key and I'm definitely dying for him.La clave y en fija me muero por él.

If they tell me, you can't smoke,Si me dicen, no podés fumar,
I get the craving to whistleMe dan antojos de pitar
I'm going the opposite wayYo voy de contramano
And I feel cold in summer.Y siento frío en verano.
Happy they see me cryingAlegre me ven llorando
And I sing if I'm suffering,Y canto si estoy sufriendo,
I alone know how to understand myselfYo sola me se entender
And I know what I'm feeling.Y se comprender lo que estoy sintiendo.
If life is short,Total si la vida es corta,
Totally nobody caresTotal a nadie le importa
If I go against the flowSi voy contra la corriente
If I am what I am.Si soy como soy.

It has never caught my attentionNunca me ha llamado la atención
The thing about Eve and the apple,Lo de eva y la manzana,
And because I am Eve's sister,Y porque de eva soy hermana,
And being tempted is a human thingY tentarse es cosa humana
They told him, "don't eat,"Le dijeron, "no comás",
And she, bang, ate it!Y ella, ¡zas, se la comió!
