Contra Viento y Marea

Against all oddsContra viento y marea
Let's challenge the shadow in the light of an ideaDesafiemos la sombra a la luz de una idea
With the soul ignited, we must walk through lifeCon el alma encendida hay que andar por la vida
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea.

And even if the sea is adverseY aunque el mar sea adverso
And we are immersed in very ugly watersY estemos inmersos en aguas muy feas
Let's continue the journeyContinuemos el viaje
That our courage carries faith.Que a nuestro coraje la fé lo acarrea.

Against all oddsContra viento y marea
Each sun repeats itself, each day dawnsCada sol se repite, cada día alborea
And a garden of poetry flourishes with determinationY florece a porfía un jardín de poesía
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea

If we carry ardentlySi llevamos ardientes
The star on our forehead like a torchLa estrella en la frente igual que una tea
Among a mountain of pines, a path will openEntre un monte de pinos se abrirá algún camino
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea.

Against all oddsContra viento y marea
A child's smile is the great panaceaLa sonrisa de un niño es la gran panacea
And an outstretched hand, the grown tendernessY una mano tendida, la ternura crecida
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea.

Love has a spiritEl amor tiene un duende
That laughs, that ignites, that creates and recreatesQue ríe, que enciende, que crea y recrea
And even if the devil dislikes it, it sprouts and flourishesY aunque al diablo le pese, retoña y florece
And turns evil around.Y al mal lo voltea.

Against all oddsContra viento y marea
There are heaps of hands to do the taskHay montones de manos para hacer la tarea
And those piles of desires to reach tomorrowY esas pilas de ganas de llegar a mañana
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea

What matters is the peopleLo que importa es la gente
From the south and the north, from there, whereverDel sur y del norte, de allí, donde sea
And winning the game so that life triumphsY ganar la partida porque triunfe la vida
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea.

Against all oddsContra viento y marea
Let's propose without fear a great assemblyPropongamos sin miedo una gran asamblea
Where it is proclaimed that people love each otherDonde allí se proclame que la gente se ame
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea

Banish greed,Desterrar la codicia,
Throw injustice from a rooftopTirar la injusticia desde una azotea
And hang a sign that says 'I love you'Y colgar un letrero que diga te quiero
And everyone sees itY todos lo vean

Against all oddsContra viento y marea
Let's advance with everything without getting stained with tarAvancemos con todo sin mancharnos con brea
If necessary, on the stone we will plant ivySi hace falta en la piedra plantaremos la hiedra
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea.

This was my proposal,Esta fue mi propuesta,
Perhaps what remains and everyone desiresTal vez lo que resta y todos desean
Is to be where the anxiety of being free vibratesEs estar donde vibre la ansiedad de ser libres
Against all odds.Contra viento y marea.

May God make it so!Quiera dios que así sea!
