De Contramano
Enrique Santos Discépolo
Against the law
colleagues, what a concern
What is living for people!
I was born independent
And I'm going against the current.
Without stopping or listening
The one who comes to criticize me.
I don't know why it is
That I live backwards,
If they want me, I don't want
I can't even want to.
And whoever knows how to contradict me, already knows
The key and I'm definitely dying for him.
If they tell me, you can't smoke,
I get the craving to whistle
I'm going the opposite way
And I feel cold in summer.
Happy they see me crying
And I sing if I'm suffering,
I alone know how to understand myself
And I know what I'm feeling.
If life is short,
Totally nobody cares
If I go against the flow
If I am what I am.
It has never caught my attention
The thing about Eve and the apple,
And because I am Eve's sister,
And being tempted is a human thing
They told him, "don't eat,"
And she, bang, ate it!
