A Contrapie
Marta Sánchez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si alguna vez te sientes atrapado
Por una vida tópica y vulgar
Si te consideras fracasado
Tienes que empezar a caminar

A contrapié
A todo tren
Al revés
De lo general
Decídete
Tú también
Te divertirás
Escápate
Para tener
Algo que contar
A contrapié
Así tal vez
Cumplirás tus sueños

Si todos te señalan con el dedo
Y te condenan por original
Déjalos hablar, no sientas miedo
Sigue tu camino y nada más

Cada corazón es un rebelde
Tiene muchas formas de luchar





Unas veces gana y otras pierde
Pero su deber es caminar
