A Pesar de Todo

I always wanted to be with you, not with the others
Taking care of friends who are true
But there's too much noise in the city
And I can't hear what happiness tells me
Mom left home, dad left home
And I don't know if they'll come back for Christmas
Today I lack the desire to look out the window
And to face reality head-on

Because you can't love without self-esteem
That's like wanting to caress with kitchen knives
I wanted to leave a mark and left ruin
My heroine, me so rough and you so fine
I want everything and I break everything
That's why I prefer to be alone
Take a bath and feel like I'm floating and close my eyes
Suddenly a smile, I haven't gone crazy
It's that noise from outside, that spring
That madness of believing that fortune is in the wallet
I'm still in the hotel, drinking from the minibar
Drowning my sorrows in my own sea
All I do is write, nothing more
Sadness has told me that you won't come back
The clouds follow me, I've grown fond of them
Call me daddy in bed, outside I'm a child
And I'm chasing dreams despite everything
I enjoy when I laugh, I write when I cry
Because I don't know what's behind each door
But luck is for the first one who finds it
And I'm thinking, even if I stay silent and nod
I don't have less life than the jerk who tells me about it
I don't care if my shit doesn't represent you
I'm a man, and I represent myself simply
I looked at your photo again and started shaking
Growing up is learning to forget
But I swear I can still get up
I've been let down so many times, what's one more?
The day I leave, I'll push my boat into the sea
Because I don't want anything material
The little I have left is the people who hug me
When everything goes wrong
Sometimes I punish myself with what has happened
You're gone? You were never here
Back to the bar, I won't dance with you anymore
I don't want to dance close to the enemy
Poor devil who has never known the cold
And whose path has always been to put stones in mine
If you see me smile at you, it's because I'm where I wanted to be
Doing what I wanted to do since I was a kid
The world is a mess, they want to stress you out
The trains aren't leaving, they're right there
Do you want a justification for being so late?
I come from suffering, it was hard to get up

I always wanted to be with you, not with the others
Taking care of friends who are true
But there's too much noise in the city
And I can't hear what happiness tells me
Mom left home, dad left home
And I don't know if they'll come back for Christmas
Today I lack the desire to look out the window
And to face reality head-on

Oh, we did it again
Lobo Negro, and you didn't, brother
That's how it is, crazy
Another damn league
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah eh
And you didn't
