| La noche estaba cerrada y las heridas abiertas
| The night was closed and the wounds open
|
| Y yo que iba a ser tu padre buscaba sin encontrarme
| And I, who was going to be your father, searched without finding myself
|
| En una playa desierta
| on a deserted beach
|
| Tenía la edad aquella en que la certeza caduca
| I had the age when certainty expires
|
| Y de pronto al mirar el mar vi que el mar brillaba con un brillar
| And suddenly when looking at the sea I saw that the sea shone with a shine
|
| De noctilucas
| By noctilucas
|
| Algo de aquel asombro debió anunciarme que llegarías
| Something of that astonishment must have announced to me that you would arrive
|
| Pues yo desde mis escombros al igual que el mar sentí que fosforecía
| Well, from my rubble, like the sea, I felt it phosphorise
|
| Supe sin entenderlo de tu alegría anticipada
| I knew without understanding of your anticipated joy
|
| Un día entenderás que habla de ti esta canción encandilada
| One day you will understand that this dazzling song talks about you
|
| Brilla noctiluca
| night shine
|
| Un punto en el mar oscuro
| A point in the dark sea
|
| Dónde la luz se acurruca
| where the light huddles
|
| La noche estaba cerrada y las heridas abiertas
| The night was closed and the wounds open
