Lo Contrario De Ninguno Lyrics in English Despistaos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lo Contrario De Ninguno by Despistaos from Spanish to English.
Aprendo la lección de carrerilla
I learn the lesson by heart
Echar de más está injustificado
Overdoing it is unjustified
Jugábamos al juego de la silla
We used to play musical chairs
Y me quedé colgado
And I was left hanging
Al fondo ya se empieza a ver la orilla
The shore is already starting to be seen in the distance
Pero me va a costar llegar a nado
But it's going to be hard for me to swim there
Después de media vida despistado
After half a life being distracted
Se funden las bombillas
The light bulbs burn out
Se funden las bombillas
The light bulbs burn out
Que todo es lo contrario de ninguno
That everything is the opposite of none
Que juntos somos más
That together we are more
Que dos más dos son uno
That two plus two are one
Vaya silencio más inoportuno
What an ill-timed silence
Parar para intentar
To stop to try
Correr detrás del humo
To run behind the smoke
Busco palabras para un buen relato
I'm looking for words for a good story
Partículas de arena en el desierto
Grains of sand in the desert
Pensé que esto saldría más barato
I thought this would turn out cheaper
Pero ahora he descubierto
But now I've discovered
Que ya he gastado tanto los zapatos
That I've already worn out my shoes so much
Que solo soy un ciego entre los tuertos
That I'm only a blind man among the one-eyed
Extraño tanto cuando me despierto
I miss so much when I wake up
Y veo nuestro retrato
And I see our picture
Que todo es lo contrario de ninguno
That everything is the opposite of none
Que juntos somos más
That together we are more
Que dos más dos son uno
That two plus two are one
Vaya silencio más inoportuno
What an ill-timed silence
Parar para intentar
To stop to try
Correr detrás del humo
To run behind the smoke
Vaya silencio más inoportuno
What an ill-timed silence
Parar para intentar
To stop to try
Correr detrás del humo
To run behind the smoke
En esta realidad tan incompleta
In this so incomplete reality
Me aburro y se hace eterno cada viaje
I get bored and every trip becomes eternal
Procuro colocar bien la maleta
I try to place the suitcase well
Para que todo encaje
So that everything fits
Que todo es lo contrario de ninguno
That everything is the opposite of none
Que juntos somos más
That together we are more
Que dos más dos son uno
That two plus two are one
Vaya silencio más inoportuno
What an ill-timed silence
Parar para intentar
To stop to try
Correr detrás del humo
To run behind the smoke
Que somos lo contrario de ninguno
That we are the opposite of no one
Que juntos todo es más
That together everything is more
Que dos más dos son uno
That two plus two are one
Vaya silencio más inoportuno
What an ill-timed silence
Parar para intentar
To stop to try
Correr detrás del humo
To run behind the smoke
Parar para intentar
To stop to try
Correr detrás del humo
To run behind the smoke

Did you like this lyrics translation?
carrerilla — running start / by rote
Carrerilla literally means a "running start" or "short run." However, in the context of "aprendo la lección de carrerilla," it takes on a figurative meaning: to learn something "by rote" or "by heart" without deep understanding.
It's an interesting word because it highlights the idea of superficial learning, which contrasts with the deeper reflections in the song about life's lessons and discoveries. This dual meaning makes it both unique and thought-provoking.
