Contra Viento Y Marea

There I go, against all odds
Once again, the same fight
I don't even know if it's worth it
But I feel like trying
If luck will finally be on my side
Or if it's just another myth

Here I am, you catch me disheveled
These are my hidden treasures
A flower, a good bottle of wine
A used tea bag
A tax of love
From which I was always exempt until today

And even though I know I can be without you
How can I make myself want to be without you?

I got lost, I think I was thinking
I found myself, somewhere doubting
If it's me, if I'm screwing up
If I go to the locker room or if I dribble past
This loneliness that puts up a strong fight
And can break me

I didn't see myself, I took myself by surprise
I started, and lowered my head
I was riding a borrowed tricycle
I crashed it into a wall
Now I have a pedal in my hand
The handlebar bent, I hurt myself

And even though I know I can be without you
How can I make myself want to be without you?

Heart, it's so easy to love you
With or without reason, I don't dare to lose you
If your mouth smells like beer
If your five feet and change
Naked on the mattress
It's poetry in the flesh, it's this song

And even though I know I can be without you
How can I make myself want to be without you?

And even though I know I can be without you
How can I make myself want to be without you?
