A Contracorriente Lyrics in English El Canto del Loco
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Contracorriente by El Canto del Loco from Spanish to English.
A contracorriente, a contracorriente
Against the current, against the current
Todo lo que hacía ese día me salía muy mal
Everything I did that day went very wrong
Despierto y no te escucho y la sonrisa me dice qué va
I wake up and don't hear you and the smile tells me no way
El agua de la ducha ya no puede estar más fría
The shower water can't be any colder
Quiero volver a sentir
I want to feel again
Escuchar sólo tu voz
To hear only your voice
Que me diga aquello
That tells me that thing
Que todas las mañanas repetía en sueños
That every morning I repeated in dreams
Y salgo y te busco y no veo el momento
And I go out and look for you and don't see the moment
Me asusto
I get scared
Te vuelvo a buscar
I look for you again
Corriendo a contracorriente
Running against the current
Sentir que no te encuentro entre tanta gente
To feel that I don't find you among so many people
Que viene, que corre
That comes, that runs
Y no escucha a su mente
And doesn't listen to their mind
Me cansan
They tire me
Te vuelvo a buscar
I look for you again
Sentir que nadie me escucha
To feel that nobody listens to me
Escondo mis palabras y me vuelvo a la ducha
I hide my words and go back to the shower
Ahora, y desde entonces, nunca nadie me ha vuelto a engañar
Now, and since then, nobody has ever deceived me again
Perdí todo lo dado y nunca más lo voy a recuperar
I lost everything I gave and I'm never going to get it back
El canto del loco ahora me llena de alegría
The song of the madman now fills me with joy
Quiero volver a sentir
I want to feel again
Escuchar sólo tu voz
To hear only your voice
Que me diga aquello
That tells me that thing
Que todas las mañanas repetía en sueños
That every morning I repeated in dreams
Y salgo y te busco y no veo el momento
And I go out and look for you and don't see the moment
Me asusto
I get scared
Te vuelvo a buscar
I look for you again
Corriendo a contracorriente
Running against the current
Sentir que no te encuentro entre tanta gente
To feel that I don't find you among so many people
Que viene, que corre
That comes, that runs
Y no escucha a su mente
And doesn't listen to their mind
Me cansan
They tire me
Te vuelvo a buscar
I look for you again
Sentir que nadie me escucha
To feel that nobody listens to me
Escondo mis palabras y me vuelvo a la ducha
I hide my words and go back to the shower
A contracorriente, a contracorriente
Against the current, against the current

contracorriente — against the current
Contracorriente literally translates to "against the current." It's a vivid and dynamic word that immediately evokes a sense of struggle or going against the norm.
In the song, it's used to describe the protagonist's desperate search for someone, running "corriendo a contracorriente" (running against the current) through a crowd. This powerful imagery perfectly captures the feeling of fighting against obstacles and the flow of life to find what's lost, making it a memorable and engaging word.
