Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La noche no es una ciencia by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Vine hasta el mar con la noche en la mira
I came to the sea with the night in my sights
Mis lentes de cerca, mi guitarra rota
My glasses up close, my broken guitar
Con una hoja en blanco, que en blanco quedaría
With a blank sheet, which would remain blank
Es que la noche no
It's not the night
La noche no es una ciencia exacta
The night is not an exact science
Llamaba a la puerta con todas mis armas
I knocked on the door with all my weapons
Con algunos vicios, algunas virtudes
With some vices, some virtues
Pensé para mí que cumplía los pasos de un pacto
I thought to myself that I was fulfilling the steps of a pact
Pero la musa no pacta
But the muse does not agree
Y la noche no
and not the night
Es que la noche no
It's not the night
La noche no es una ciencia exacta
The night is not an exact science
Yo debería a esta altura saberlo
I should know by now
Yo debería tenerlo ya claro en mis años
I should already have it clear in my years
Una canción aparece de pronto
A song suddenly appears
Y se clava en el alma
And it digs into the soul
Como un cuerpo extraño
like a foreign body
La soledad no traía canciones
Loneliness did not bring songs
Traía demonios, resaca, tormenta
He brought demons, hangover, storm
Traía el extraño regalo de ser un eterno autotidacta
He brought the strange gift of being an eternal self-taught
Es que la noche no
It's not the night
La noche no es una ciencia exacta
The night is not an exact science
Es que la noche no es una ciencia exacta
Is that the night is not an exact science
Hacer canciones no es una ciencia exacta
Making songs is not an exact science
