La noche estaba cerrada
the night was closed
Y las heridas abiertas
and open wounds
Y yo que iba a ser tu padre
And I was going to be your father
Buscaba sin encontrarme en una playa desierta
I searched without finding myself on a deserted beach
Tenía la edad aquella en que la certeza caduca
He was the age when certainty expires
Y de pronto al mirar el mar vi que el mar brillaba con un millar de noctiluca
And suddenly looking at the sea I saw that the sea shone with a thousand noctiluca
Algo de aquel asombro debió anunciarme que llegarías
Something of that astonishment must have announced to me that you would arrive
Pues yo desde mis escombros al igual que el mar sentí que fosforecía
Well, from my rubble, like the sea, I felt that it was phosphorescent
Supe sin entenderlo de tu alegría anticipada
I knew without understanding of your anticipated joy
Un día entenderás que habla de ti esta canción encandilada
One day you will understand what this dazzled song is talking about you
Brilla
shine
Noctiluca
noctiluca
Un punto en el mar oscuro
A point in the dark sea
Donde la luz se acurruca
where the light nestles
La noche estaba cerrada
the night was closed
Y las heridas abiertas
and open wounds
Y yo que iba a ser tu padre
And I was going to be your father
Buscaba sin encontrarme en una playa desierta
I searched without finding myself on a deserted beach
Tenía la edad aquella en que la certeza caduca
He was the age when certainty expires
Y de pronto al mirar el mar vi que el mar brillaba con un millar de noctilucas
And suddenly when looking at the sea I saw that the sea shone with a thousand noctilucas
Algo de aquel asombro debió anunciarme que llegarías
Something of that astonishment must have announced to me that you would arrive
Pues yo desde mis escombros al igual que el mar sentí que fosforecía
Well, from my rubble, like the sea, I felt that it was phosphorescent
Supe sin entenderlo de tu alegría anticipada
I knew without understanding of your anticipated joy
Un día entenderás que habla de ti esta canción encandilada
One day you will understand what this dazzled song is talking about you
Brilla
shine
Noctiluca
noctiluca
Un punto en el mar oscuro
A point in the dark sea
Donde la luz se acurruca
where the light nestles
