Un Intento Permanente

I've always felt like I don't fit in anywhere
But I don't give a damn anymore
Let them all go to hell
I've got my own little space
Built it up with hard work
Without wanting to screw anyone over, coming from the ground up

I live outside, I live in the mountains
Far from the city, the traffic, away from the hustle
When I get on stage, I sing from the gut
I don't know how to play the game of those who deceive you

The more the years go by, the less I understand
The more I drink, the thirstier I get, no glass half full
Everyone lies a little, trying to act all good
But here we see faces, hearts we don't know

I'm a bad friend, I curse a lot, I went bald and I'm broke
I'm neurotic, I'm bitter, with my reflection, I'm ruthless
And sometimes I sing out of time and way off-key

But it's me and I don't want to be anyone else
I'm a constant attempt
Contradictory and more aware every day
It's me and I don't want to be anyone else

But it's me and I don't want to be anyone else
I'm a constant attempt
Contradictory and more aware every day
It's me and I don't want to be anyone else

The son of Germán and Fabiola
Wasn't meant for anything
But I caught a wave
I was a drunk and a party animal and even drank Coca-Cola
And nowadays I have Greek yogurt with granola for breakfast

I make love songs, collecting defeats
You had three of a kind, I lost with a couple of jacks
I do the best I can with what I've got
When it's my turn to go out, I'll have my boots on

I lose faith in humanity every other day
Then I come back and believe, I just can't help it
I crack the window a bit to see if the siege continues
The bullets don't sound anymore
It's an intermission

As Jorge Drexler said: My coin keeps spinning
Whatever it is, let it be what works best
I’m on my path, I’m going down my road
May their God bless them, it goes and stays

But it's me and I don't want to be anyone else
I'm a constant attempt
Contradictory and more aware every day
It's me and I don't want to be anyone else

But it's me and I don't want to be anyone else
I'm a constant attempt
Contradictory and more aware every day
It's me and I don't want to be anyone else

There's a crowd living in my mind
There are a bunch of voices that are present
I have to choose which one to pay attention to in the confusion

The noise gets louder every time
It's easier to give up and throw in the towel
After the hit, I count to ten again
And hold my breath
But it's me and I don't want to be anyone else
I'm a constant attempt
Contradictory and more aware every day
It's me and I don't want to be anyone else

But it's me and I don't want to be anyone else
I'm a constant attempt
Contradictory and more aware every day
It's me and I don't want to be anyone else
