Noctiluca - Jorge Drexler

La noche estaba cerrada y las heridas abiertas

Y yo que iba a ser tu padre buscaba sin encontrarme

En una playa desierta

Tenía la edad aquella en que la certeza caduca

Y de pronto al mirar el mar vi que el mar brillaba con un brillar

De noctilucas

Algo de aquel asombro debió anunciarme que llegarías

Pues yo desde mis escombros al igual que el mar sentí que fosforecía

Supe sin entenderlo de tu alegría anticipada

Un día entenderás que habla de ti esta canción encandilada

Brilla noctiluca

Un punto en el mar oscuro

Dónde la luz se acurruca

La noche estaba cerrada y las heridas abiertas

Y yo que iba a ser tu padre buscaba sin encontrarme

En una playa desierta

Tenía la edad aquella en que la certeza caduca

Y de pronto al mirar el mar vi que el mar brillaba con un brillar

De noctilucas

Algo de aquel asombro debió anunciarme que llegarías

Pues yo desde mis escombros al igual que el mar sentí que fosforecía

Supe sin entenderlo de tu alegría anticipada

Un día entenderás que habla de ti esta canción encandilada

Brilla noctiluca

Un punto en el mar oscuro

Dónde la luz se acurruca (se acurruca)

(Dónde la luz se acurruca… se acurruca)

The night was closed and the wounds open

And I, who was going to be your father, searched without finding myself

on a deserted beach

I had the age when certainty expires

And suddenly when looking at the sea I saw that the sea shone with a shine

By noctilucas

Something of that astonishment must have announced to me that you would arrive

Well, from my rubble, like the sea, I felt it phosphorise

I knew without understanding of your anticipated joy

One day you will understand that this dazzling song talks about you

night shine

A point in the dark sea

where the light huddles
