Who Was I Fighting Against

Najwa Nimri

Contra Quien Luchaba

(Espera)
(¿Contra quien luchaba?)

(Espera)
(¿Contra quien luchaba?)

Salgo del gym y siento
El cuerpo en mi sitio cuadrada
Creo que ser circular me haría mejorar la mirada

Voy pa' mi casa
A ver una de vikingos
Gladiadores, no sé
Algún combate
Y después me compro un bate
Intento explorar la pegada

Espera
¿Contra quien luchaba?
Espera espera espera
¿Contra quien luchaba?
Espera espera espera
¿Contra quien luchaba?

Desayuno
Un cafe, dos cafes, tres cafes
Y ahora a correr a correr
Y ahora a correr a correr

En el parque hay
Runners, arboles, barcas, pederastas
Cuervos, gorditos y caras lavadas
Yo voy bien maquillada

Espera
¿Contra quien luchaba?
Espera espera espera
¿Contra quien luchaba?

Pero sigo funcionando
Como un cyborg inconsciente
Sin pasado ni presente
Solo un futuro insistente
Que me dice
Que no estoy preparada
Que no valgo para nada
Que no tengo
El pelo
La piel
Ni la edad indicada

Tal vez necesito a la gente
Que luchaba contra un ente
Un enemigo común
Que me hace tan diferente
Ah no ¡Espera!
Era yo misma
(Era yo misma)
Mirándome frente a frente

Espera
¿Contra quien luchaba?
(Espera espera espera)
(¿Contra quien luchaba?)

¿Contra quien luchaba?

Who Was I Fighting Against

(Wait)
(Who was I fighting against?)

(Wait)
(Who was I fighting against?)

I leave the gym and feel
My body in my square place
I think being round would improve my appearance

Heading home
To watch a show about Vikings
Gladiators, I don't know
Some combat
And then I'll buy a bat
Trying to explore the impact

Wait
Who was I fighting against?
Wait wait wait
Who was I fighting against?
Wait wait wait
Who was I fighting against?

I have breakfast
One coffee, two coffees, three coffees
And now to run, to run
And now to run, to run

In the park there are
Runners, trees, boats, weirdos
Crows, chubby people, and fresh faces
I'm well made up

Wait
Who was I fighting against?
Wait wait wait
Who was I fighting against?

But I keep functioning
Like an unconscious cyborg
With no past or present
Just a persistent future
That tells me
That I'm not ready
That I'm worthless
That I don't have
The hair
The skin
Or the right age

Maybe I need the people
Who fought against a being
A common enemy
That makes me so different
Oh no, wait!
It was myself
(It was myself)
Looking at myself in the mirror

Wait
Who was I fighting against?
(Wait wait wait)
(Who was I fighting against?)

Who was I fighting against?
