Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Equipaje by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Nos delata el equipaje
luggage gives us away
Y la duda al caminar
and the doubt when walking
Su prudencia pueblerina
His small-town prudence
Mi silencio en catalán
my silence in catalan
La niebla de Barcelona
The fog of Barcelona
Como un púdico tapiz
Like a modest tapestry
Y allá vamos, soñolientos
And there we go, sleepy
Tras la sombra de Gaudí
Behind the shadow of Gaudí
Poco importan las versiones
The versions don't matter
Los resabios de un lugar
The remnants of a place
Las postales consabidas
The usual postcards
La edad de una catedral
The age of a cathedral
La caricia minuciosa
the meticulous caress
De los siglos de humedad
Of the centuries of humidity
Y las gárgolas te miran
And the gargoyles look at you
Sobrevuelan la ciudad
fly over the city
Los mojones del camino
The milestones of the road
Con su ambigua cicatriz
With his ambiguous scar
Van marcando el fuselaje
They are marking the fuselage
Descascarando el barniz
peeling off the varnish
La distancia es un oasis
distance is an oasis
Una forma de mentir
a way to lie
Visitamos los museos
We visit the museums
Codiciando souvenirs
coveting souvenirs
