Tinta Y Tiempo Lyrics in English Jorge Drexler

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tinta Y Tiempo by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
Lo que dejo por escrito
What I leave in writing
No está tallado en granito
Is not carved in granite
Yo apenas suelto en el viento
I barely release it into the wind
Presentimientos
Premonitions
Pido lo que necesito
I ask for what I need
Tinta y tiempo, tinta y tiempo
Ink and time, ink and time
Tinta y tiempo, tinta y tiempo
Ink and time, ink and time
Pero me cuesta esperar
But it's hard for me to wait
Y cuando toca decantar
And when it's time to decant
Lentamente lo que siento
Slowly what I feel
Yo me impaciento
I get impatient
Luego lo vuelvo a intentar
Then I try again
Tinta y tiempo, tinta y tiempo
Ink and time, ink and time
Tinta y tiempo, tinta y tiempo
Ink and time, ink and time
Nunca sé

Ni por qué

Esa voz

Yo no la

Comando

Y al final, siempre ando a tientas
And in the end, I always grope
Sin brújula en la tormenta
Without a compass in the storm
Pero tras el desaliento
But after discouragement

Si ha de pintarse, se pinta
If it's to be painted, it paints itself
Tiempo y tinta, tiempo y tinta
Time and ink, time and ink
Tiempo y tinta, tiempo y tinta
Time and ink, time and ink
