noctámbulo — night owl

Noctámbulo literally translates to "night owl" or someone who stays up late. It's a less common, more evocative word than simply saying "someone who is awake at night."

In the song, Ana Tijoux uses it to describe her lover as her "oráculo, noctámbulo, que camina en el círculo" (oracle, night owl, who walks in the circle). This gives the listener a vivid and slightly mysterious image of a partner who is perhaps a deep thinker or a creative soul, active during the quiet hours of the night.

Have you ever felt like everything just perfectly aligned for something new to begin? That's the feeling Ana Tijoux captures in "Problema De 2." She sings about a moment where "todo estaba alineado" [everything was aligned] and "los puntos cardinales definieron mi plano" [the cardinal points defined my plan]. It's about finding that special connection where you and another person just fit, almost like it was written in the stars. She even says, "Nada más bello que pensar en nosotros dos" [Nothing more beautiful than thinking of the two of us].

This song is all about building something beautiful together, acknowledging that while there might be challenges, they'll be "problema de 2" [a problem for two] if they make mistakes or even if they just try. It's about embracing a connection that wasn't planned, as she mentions, "No estabas en mis planes, ni estabas en mis manos" [You weren't in my plans, nor in my hands]. It's a sweet, honest look at the magic of two people coming together and navigating life as a team.
