A Contratiempo (A Contra Viento)

This is the fourth time he's asked me to come get youEs la cuarta vez que me pide que venga a buscarte
And I accepted because I know how bad it is without youY yo acepte por que se lo mal que esta sin ti
I am a witness that I already spoke with herYo soy testigo que ya hablo con ella
And he told her that it was best to separateY le dijo que lo mejor era separarse
Why don't you forgive him?¿Por que no lo perdonas?
Maybe you could start something new?¿Tal vez pordrian comensar algo nuevo?
Or are you not bad without him?¿O es que tu no estas mal sin el?

Everything is going wellTodo va bien
Everything is going perfectly for meTodo me va perfecto
My world turns without him, maybe a little slowMi mundo gira sin el si acaso si acaso un poco lento
But it gets better, improving every momentPero mejora, mejorandose a cada momento
My luck is changingEsta cambiando mi suerte
I stopped moving out of timeYa deje de moverme a contratiempo

Say it, say itDicelo dicelo
Tell him I feel like a giantDile que me siento gigante
And I could never feel betterY que nunca me pude sentir mejor
And tell him that there is no trace leftY dile que no queda ni huella
Of what was his great loveDe aquello que fuera su gran amor

And tell him not to ask about me anymoreY dile que ya no pregunte por mi
I'm already tired of telling you so many timesQue ya estoy arta de decirle tantas veces
To all the people who talk about him, who talk to me about himA toda la gente que habla de el, que me habla por el

The same story, the same taleLa misma historia el mismo cuento
(The same story)(La misma hirtoria)
The same cloud of liesLa misma nube de mentiras
(Lies)(Mentiras)
With which I hide the suffering I carry insideCon las que escondo el sufrimiento que llevo por dentro
Because without it the world turns very slowlyPor que sin el gira el mundo muy lento
And my life moves night and dayY mi vida se mueve de noche y de dia
Against the timesA contratiempo
Against the timesA contratiempo

The same story, the same taleLa misma historia el mismo cuento
(The same story)(La misma hirtoria)
The same cloud of liesLa misma nube de mentiras
(Lies)(Mentiras)
That I never knew about themQue nunca supe yo de ellas
(That I never knew)(Que nunca supe)
And the truth is that knowing about his deception, his deceptionY la verdad es que saber de su engaño su engaño
It has hurt me too muchMe a hecho demaciado daño

Tell him not to insist anymoreDile que ya no insista
Tell him not to send rosesDile que no mande rosas
I can continue against the beatPuedo seguir a contratiempo
Against the timesA contratiempo
And he, he can stay with his wifeY el, el puede quedarse con su esposa

It's that I couldn't go back to himEs que no podria volver con el
Even if I was crazyAunque estubiera loca
Because if he is free it is because of mePor que si el queda libre es por mi
She has a homeElla tiene un hogar
And I think it's best that I respect itY yo creo que lo mejor es que yo lo respete
Tell him, tell him that I already have another loveDile dile que ya tengo otro amor
Tell him what I tell everyoneDile lo que le digo a todos
