A Destiempo

Arriving when everyone is leaving,
Spying when the action is over,
Gathering flowers that are already withered,
Blaspheming when one goes wrong.
Undressing at forty below zero,
Crying when the air laughed,
Messing around when one should be serious,
Celebrating a birthday that has long passed.
Calculating together in the midst of a kiss,
Rejecting when a goal should be scored,
Dancing a twist when one should be attentive,
You can't live like this, my heart!
I go against the light,
Wasting my soul out of sync.
I always carried this cross,
Despairing in joy,
Darkening fantasies,
Twisting my destiny;
Always against the light.
Sleeping when the truce ends,
Waking up when the world fell asleep.
Planning when chance is at play;
Offering what no one wants and never asked for.
Doing the right thing towards nothing,
Putting out a fire with alcohol,
Running when one should jump far away.
You can't live like this, my heart!
(chorus)
What do you think, huh?
Out of sync... out of sync... out of sync.
You can't live like this, my heart!
You can't live like this, my heart!
