Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Duermevela by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
En la duermevela el corazón espera
In sleep the heart waits
Sin saber muy bien a qué
Without knowing very well what
Busca en las rendijas, mueve las clavijas
Look in the cracks, move the pegs
Desafinándose
Getting out of tune
Ay, el momento en que empieza el día
Oh, the moment when the day begins
Y se vuelve a ser forastero
And he becomes a stranger again
El rincón de la noche mía
The corner of my night
Adonde solo llega el lucero, el lucero
Where only the star reaches, the star
Toda duermevela huele a tu regazo
Every sleepy night smells like your lap
Tu abrazo acunándome
Your hug cradling me
El tiempo en mi oído, donde tu latido
Time in my ear, where your heartbeat
Sigue refugiándose
continues to take refuge
Ay, ese punto en la lejanía
Oh, that point in the distance
Que nos hace ser marineros
What makes us sailors
Aquel sitio del alba mía
That place of my dawn
Adonde solo llega el lucero, el lucero
Where only the star reaches, the star
Una estrella trae el día
A star brings the day
Cabo de Santa María
Cape Santa Maria
Cruza el cielo
cross the sky
Duerme al faro, y
Sleep at the lighthouse, and
Vuelve a dar al mar
Go back to the sea
