12 segundos de oscuridad - Jorge Drexler

Gira el haz de luz, para que se vea desde alta mar

Yo buscaba el rumbo de regreso sin quererlo encontrar

Pie detrás de pie, iba tras el pulso de claridad

La noche cerrada apenas se abría se volvía a cerrar

Un faro quieto, nada sería

Guía mientras no deje de girar

No es la luz, lo que importa en verdad

Son los doce segundos de oscuridad

Doce segundos de oscuridad

Para que se vea desde alta mar

De poco le sirve al navegante que no sepa esperar

Pie detrás de pie no hay otra manera de caminar

La noche del cabo revelada en un inmenso radar

Un faro para, sólo de día

Guía mientras no deje de girar

No es la luz, lo que importa en verdad

Son los doce segundos de oscuridad

Doce segundos de oscuridad

Doce segundos de oscuridad

Para que sea vea desde alta mar

Rotate the light beam, so it can be seen from the high seas

I was looking for the way back without wanting to find it

Foot after foot, I was after the pulse of clarity

The closed night as soon as it opened it closed again

A still lighthouse, nothing would be

Guide as long as you don't stop turning

It's not the light that really matters

It's twelve seconds of darkness

twelve seconds of darkness

To be seen from the high seas

It is of little use to the navigator who does not know how to wait

Foot behind foot there is no other way to walk

The night of the cape revealed on a huge radar

A lighthouse for, only by day

Guide as long as you don't stop turning

It's not the light that really matters

It's twelve seconds of darkness

twelve seconds of darkness

twelve seconds of darkness

To be seen from the high seas
