El Contragolpe
Manu Chao
The Counterblow
Now you will see what it's like to have broken wings,
Now you will know what it's like to cry for defeat.
What your malice brought me has no name,
But the counterblow has arrived without mercy.
Why do you tell me today that you are already repentant?...
what did you do wrong, that I am everything in your life?...
but it's too late for guilty feelings
and in sin you will carry the penance.
I had to get tired, at some point,
of your lies.
I had to get tired of begging
every day.
But now I am happy.
I don't love you anymore.
Don't seek my forgiveness, go away from me...
Now you will see what it's like to have broken wings,
Now you will know what it's like to suffer from defeat.
What your malice brought me has no name,
But the counterblow has arrived without mercy.
I had to get tired, at some point,
of your lies.
I had to get tired of begging
every day.
But now I am happy.
I don't love you anymore.
Don't seek my forgiveness, go away from me...
Now you will see what it's like to have broken wings,
Now you will know what it's like to suffer from defeat.
What your malice brought me has no name,
But the counterblow has arrived without mercy.
