Contracorriente

Against the Current

Contracorriente

They may give meA mí me podrán regalar
All the wealth of the seaToda la riqueza del Mar
And all the goods in this worldY todos los vienes que hay en este mundo

They may promise meA mí me podrán prometer
To touch the sky and the moonEl cielo y la Luna tocar
Carry in my purse coins of goldLlevar en el bolso monedas de oro

Against the current I goContra corriente yo me voy
Honestly, that's how I goSinceramente así me voy

With my eyes upCon mis ojos arriba
My feet on the groundMis pies en el suelo
Little by littlePoquito a poquito
Straight to the skyDirectito al cielo
I'm going, I'm goingYo me voy me voy
I'm going, I'm goingYo me voy me voy

The world cannot offerEl mundo no puede ofrecer
What cannot be lostLo que no se puede perder
I already have a ticket to eternal lifeYa tengo boleto hacia la vida eterna

People cannot understandLa gente no puede entender
When I say again and againCuando digo una y otra vez
That I don't put my heart up for saleQue mi corazón yo no lo pongo en venta

Against the current I goContra corriente yo me voy
Honestly, that's how I goSinceramente así me voy

With my eyes upCon mis ojos arriba
My feet on the groundMis pies en el suelo
Little by littlePoquito a poquito
Straight to the skyDirectito al cielo
I'm going, I'm goingYo me voy me voy
I'm going, I'm goingYo me voy me voy

I fight against the currentLucho contra la corriente
Until it suddenly disappearsHasta que desaparezca de repente
I keep my eyes looking aheadMantengo mi vista mirando al frente
The world offers me what it cannot give meEl mundo me ofrece lo que no me puede dar
But I don't believe it, it never tells the truthPero no lo creo, nunca dice la verdad
It offers me money, turns, living a good lifeÉl me ofrece dinero, gira, vivir una buena vida
But it has no place, my soul is hiddenPero no tiene cabida, mi alma se encuentra escondida
In the one who multiplied the fishEn aquel que multiplicó los peces
And even though I fail and fail, His love remainsY aunque fallo y fallo su amor permanece

Against the current I go straight to the skyContracorriente voy directito al cielo voy
Against the current I goContracorriente yo me voy
Against the current I go straight to the skyContracorriente voy directito al cielo voy
Against the current I goContracorriente yo me voy

It's because we are not from this worldEs que no somos de este mundo
That's why we have a new coursePor eso tenemo’ un nuevo rumbo
