Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Contracorriente by Álvaro Soler from Spanish to English.

Chasing the sun

I go against the current as I walk

But they can't tire me

Kicking up dust behind me

I know that the battle has just begun

The drums of the soul are sounding

The alarm lights are crying

I carry my flag to play

The battle has just begun

I'm a wanderer in a denim shirt

I stay on course, I'm chasing the sun

I go up the river against the current

Nobody stops me, I'm chasing the sun

Against the current

And even if the storm breaks

I never lose strength

This is my place

Chasing the sun

Against the current

And even if the storm breaks

I never lose strength

This is my place

Chasing, chasing the sun

For everyone that dreams of succeeding

Throwing fear out

For everyone that looks for their place

I know that the battle doesn't end yet

They say that I can't, who cares

I keep going my way, I don't care

Dreaming hard and also

My battle is the only one there is

I'm a wanderer in a denim shirt

I stay on course, I'm chasing the sun

I go up the river against the current

Nobody stops me, I'm chasing the sun

Against the current

And even if the storm breaks

I never lose strength

This is my place

Chasing the sun

Against the current

And even if the storm breaks

I never lose strength

This is my place

Chasing, chasing the sun

But when my hands cry

They'll tell me where to go

I'll leave my mark in every step

They taught me to live

Against the current

This is my place

Chasing the sun

Against the current

This is my place

Chasing, chasing the sun

This is my place

Chasing, chasing the sun

SONG MEANING

Álvaro Soler unites with fellow Spanish star David Bisbal to deliver an electrifying anthem of perseverance in “A Contracorriente.” The lyrics paint the picture of a fearless traveler who hikes upstream, kicks up dust, and keeps his eyes fixed on the sun. Every pounding drum, waving flag, and shouted “¡Voy a contracorriente!” captures the thrill of daring to go your own way even when alarms are blaring and storms are brewing. It is a celebration of inner strength, a musical pep-talk for anyone chasing a dream while the world says, “You can’t.”

More than a song, it feels like a rallying cry for all “camisetas tejanas” (denim-shirt wanderers) who refuse to let fatigue, fear, or criticism pin them down. By promising to never lose fuerza and to leave a mark with every step, Soler and Bisbal remind us that the journey against the current is exactly where we find our place in the world—and where we greet the sunrise of our own victories.
