Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sanar by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Las lágrimas van al cielo
Tears go to the sky
Y vuelven a tus ojos desde el mar
And come back to your eyes from the sea
Verse 1
El tiempo se va, se va y no vuelve
Time goes, goes and doesn't come back
Y tu corazón va a sanar
And your heart is going to heal
Va a sanar, va a sanar
It's going to heal, it's going to heal
Verse 1
La tierra parece estar quieta y el sol
The earth seems still and the sun
Parece girar
Seems to spin
Verse 1
Y aunque parezca mentira
And even if it seems like a lie
Tu corazón va a sanar
Your heart is going to heal
Va a sanar
It's going to heal
Verse 1
Va a sanar y va a volver a quebrarse
It's going to heal and it's going to break again
Mientras le toque pulsar
As long as it has to beat
Chorus 1
Y nadie sabe por qué un día el amor nace
And nobody knows why one day love is born
Ni sabe nadie por qué muere el amor un día
Nor does anyone know why love dies one day
Nadie nace sabiendo
Nobody is born knowing
Nace sabiendo
Is born knowing
Chorus 1
Que morir
That to die
También es ley de vida
Is also a law of life
Verse 2
Así como cuando enfríe
Just like when it cools down
Van a volver a pasar
The birds will fly by again
Verse 2
Los pájaros en bandadas
Your heart is going to heal
Tu corazón va a sanar
It's going to heal, it's going to heal
Va a sanar, va a sanar
And you will hope again
Verse 2
Y volverás a esperanzarte
And then despair
Y luego a desesperar
And when you least expect it
Verse 2
Y cuando menos lo esperes
Your heart is going to heal
Tu corazón va a sanar
It's going to heal
Va a sanar
It's going to heal and it's going to break again
Verse 2
Va a sanar y va a volver a quebrarse
As long as it has to beat
Mientras le toque pulsar
And nobody knows why one day love is born
Chorus 2
Y nadie sabe por qué un día el amor nace
Nor does anyone know why love dies one day
Ni sabe nadie por qué muere el amor un día
Nobody is born knowing
Nadie nace sabiendo
Is born knowing
Chorus 2
Que morir
Is also a law of life
También es ley de vida
Is also a law of life
También es ley de vida
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
