A contracorriente [English translation]

The bets went from 0 to 20.

Everyone was telling me that I shouldn’t try it,

That in all stories, none told of

Princesses with insane people.

She is all that a man hopes for.

I am an error anywhere.

She is a beautiful, spring flower

And I am a crude bindweed.

However, the heart doesn’t understand

When passion assails it.

While it attains nothing,

It realizes the impossible.

I swam against the current and betted on nothing.

I played, to cross the bridge in only one move,

And I came to discover that love can

Make a dream a reality.

I dreamed of touching the sky without wings

And I could raise the flight behind its golden skin.

And now that I have you every dawn,

I know that there are no rules in the name of love.

Someone said that the heart doesn’t lie.

When it’s true, you feel it.

If love attacks suddenly

Don't think about it with the mind.

The bets go from 20 to 0.

And in the night I stole a bright star.

It’s the story of a sincere love.

She loves me and I love her.

Because the heart doesn’t understand

When passion assails it

While it attains nothing, it realizes the impossible.

I swam against the current and betted on nothing.

I played, to cross the bridge in only one move,

And I came to discover that love can

Make a dream a reality.

I dreamed of touching the sky without wings

And I could raise the flight behind its golden skin.

And now that I have you every dawn,

I know that there are no rules in the name of love.

I played, to cross the bridge in only one move,

And I came to discover that love can

Make a dream a reality.

And I could raise the flight behind its golden skin.

And now that I have you every dawn,

I know that there are no rules in the name of love.
