Translation of the song lyrics Inoportuna - Jorge Drexler

Inoportuna (original)

Quien no lo sepa ya, lo aprenderá de prisa
La vida no para, no espera, no avisa
Tantos planes, tantos planes vueltos espuma
Tu, por ejemplo, tan a tiempo y tan inoportuna
Inoportuna
Eran más bien los días de arriar las velas
Toda señal a mi alrededor decía «cautela»
Cuánta estrategia incumplida, aquella noche sin luna
Tu, por ejemplo, tan bienvenida y tan inoportuna
Inoportuna
Quién sabe cuándo
Cuándo es el momento de decir «ahora»
Si todo alrededor te está gritando
«¡Sin demora, sin demora!»
Quien no lo sepa ya, lo aprenderá de prisa
La vida no para, no espera, no avisa
Tantos planes, tantos planes vueltos espuma
Tu, por ejemplo, tan a tiempo y tan inoportuna
Oh, tan a tiempo y tan inoportuna

Inoportuna (translation)

Who does not know it already, will learn it in a hurry
Life doesn't stop, it doesn't wait, it doesn't warn
So many plans, so many plans turned to foam
You, for example, so on time and so inopportune
inopportune
They were rather the days of lowering the sails
Every sign around me said "caution"
How much unfulfilled strategy, that moonless night
You, for example, so welcome and so inopportune
inopportune
who knows when
When is the time to say “now”
If everything around you is screaming at you
"Without delay, without delay!"
Who does not know it already, will learn it in a hurry
Life doesn't stop, it doesn't wait, it doesn't warn
So many plans, so many plans turned to foam
You, for example, so on time and so inopportune
Oh so timed and so untimely
