Amor Al Arte Lyrics in English Jorge Drexler
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amor Al Arte by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
No, no somos más que otro bicho
No, we are nothing more than another bug
Ni nada menos que un bicho
Nor anything less than a bug
Dejándonos arrastrar
Letting ourselves be dragged
Por el viento del azar
By the wind of chance
A su capricho
At its whim
No estamos en otra liga
We are not in another league
Por más que la biblia diga
No matter what the Bible says
Y lo queramos creer
And we want to believe
No dejamos de tener
We still have
Boca y barriga
Mouth and belly
Y no tiene nada de malo
And there's nothing wrong with that
Pensemos que es un regalo
Let's think of it as a gift
Ser, del todo, apenas una parte
To be, completely, just a part
Y como el bicho en la flor
And like the bug on the flower
Aprender a vivir por amor al arte
Learn to live for the love of art
Amor al arte
Love of art
Cobra lo que tengas que cobrar, pero hazlo por amor al arte
Charge whatever you have to charge, but do it for the love of art
Pero no, no confundas precio con valor, amor al arte
But no, don't confuse price with value, love of art
No, el arte no es diferente
No, art is not different
De un pez a contracorriente
From a fish swimming against the current
O el perfume del jazmín
Or the scent of jasmine
El arte es el comodín
Art is the wildcard
De la simiente
Of the seed
Y de la simiente, el bicho
And of the seed, the bug
Yendo de la cuna al nicho
Going from the cradle to the niche
Por designio del amor
By the design of love
Que es la fuerza superior
Which is the higher force
Todo sea dicho
All things considered
Y quitémonos el apodo
And let's remove the nickname
De ser los dueños de todo
Of being the owners of everything
Cada cual ondeando su estandarte
Each one waving their own flag
Puestos a elegir, mejor
Given the choice, better
Elijo morir de amor, amor al arte
I choose to die for love, love of art
Amor al arte
Love of art
Cobra lo que tengas que cobrar, pero hazlo por amor al arte
Charge whatever you have to charge, but do it for the love of art
Pero no, no confundas precio con valor, amor al arte
But no, don't confuse price with value, love of art
Lápiz y papel, nada mejor que hacerle el amor al arte
Pencil and paper, nothing better than making love to art
Lápiz y papel, nada mejor que hacerle el amor al arte
Pencil and paper, nothing better than making love to art
Cobra lo que tengas que cobrar, pero hazlo por amor al arte
Charge whatever you have to charge, but do it for the love of art
Pero no, no confundas precio con valor, amor al arte
But no, don't confuse price with value, love of art
Lápiz y papel, nada mejor que hacerle el amor al arte
Pencil and paper, nothing better than making love to art
Lápiz y papel, nada mejor que hacerle el amor al arte
Pencil and paper, nothing better than making love to art
Yo voy a oscuras pidiendo lumbre
I go in the dark asking for light
Con mi cigarrito de la incertidumbre
With my little cigarette of uncertainty
Siempre empapado y a cielo abierto
Always soaked and under the open sky
Lejos del desierto de lo cierto
Far from the desert of certainty
Yo puse el corazón en tu balanza
I put my heart on your scale
Pero, por lo visto, no te alcanza
But, apparently, it's not enough for you
Yo puse el corazón en tu balanza
I put my heart on your scale
Por lo visto, no te alcanza
Apparently, it's not enough for you
Yo puse el corazón en la balanza
I put my heart on the scale
No te alcanza
It's not enough for you
Yo puse el corazón en tu balanza
I put my heart on your scale
