Barco Del Tiempo Lyrics in English Debi Nova , Kany García

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Barco Del Tiempo by Debi Nova from Spanish to English.
Let's pour ourselves a glass of tears
Let's toast to the passing of the years
The now is a hug of the soul
that slips through our hands
that the ship leaves
The ship of time
and leaves us on a deserted island in the middle of the sea
that the ship leaves
The ship of time
and leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
Rowing toward the dawn, we live
Running after the hours, without illusions
If I were the writer of this fable
The reins of time would be held by the heart
that the ship leaves
The ship of time
and leaves us on a deserted island in the middle of the sea
that the ship leaves
The ship of time
and leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
I want that the second hand's count stops
if someone comes close and gives me an 'I love you'
Slow, slow, time runs
and that the hugs become eternal for us
I'm gonna put a couple of flowers on my balcony
I'm gonna live like today is my last day
and give way to the pains
Ay, and be happy at every corner
Ay, that the ship leaves
that the ship leaves
The ship of time
and leaves us on a deserted island in the middle of the sea
that the ship leaves
The ship of time
and leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
leaves us in peace
and leaves us in peace
leaves us in peace

SONG MEANING

Barco Del Tiempo feels like a playful toast to slowing life right down. Debi Nova and Kany García invite us to raise a “glass of tears,” wave goodbye to the relentless ship of time, and strand ourselves on a peaceful island where clocks no longer matter. The lyrics picture us rowing toward the dawn at our own rhythm, guided by the heart instead of the second hand. It is a call to savor every hug, every te quiero, and even every sorrow, because each moment can bloom like the flowers on the singer’s balcony.

At its core, the song champions mindful living. Rather than running after hours without illusions, it suggests we plant beauty, allow pain to pass through, and choose happiness on every corner we turn. By letting the “barco del tiempo” sail away, we reclaim the present — a warm, soul-embracing now where time moves lento, lento and every embrace has the chance to become eternal.
