Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Todo cae by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tarde o temprano
Sooner or later
A pesar de que por un lapso de tiempo
Although for a period of time
El suelo parezca infinitamente lejano
The ground seems infinitely far away
Todo cae, todo caerá hacia su centro
Everything falls, everything will fall towards its center
Todo cuerpo por mas ingenioso
All body for more ingenious
Viaja al encuentro
travel to meet
Cuando en un breve lapso
When in a short time
Tu amor vence a la gravedad y a la entropía
Your love defeats gravity and entropy
Todo caerá y sin embargo
Everything will fall and yet
Mientras tanto esta nota
meanwhile this note
En algún pentagrama
in some pentagram
Y al compás de ese breve sonido un planeta
And to the beat of that brief sound a planet
Y una planta respira y el aire caliente
And a plant breathes and the hot air
Y el vapor de una nube destila una gota
And the vapor of a cloud distils a drop
Que oscila un instante reacia
That oscillates a reluctant moment
Y hacia el suelo cae
and to the ground falls
Tarde o temprano
Sooner or later
A pesar de que por un lapso de tiempo
Although for a period of time
El suelo parezca infinitamente lejano
The ground seems infinitely far away
Todo cae, todo caerá hacia su centro
Everything falls, everything will fall towards its center
Todo cuerpo por mas ingenioso
All body for more ingenious
Viaja al encuentro
travel to meet
Cuando en un breve lapso
When in a short time
Tu amor vence a la gravedad
Your love beats gravity
Y a la entropía
and to entropy
Todo caerá y sin embargo
Everything will fall and yet
Mientras tanto esa nota
meanwhile that note
En algún pentagrama
in some pentagram
Y al compás de ese breve sonido un planeta
And to the beat of that brief sound a planet
Y una planta respira y el aire caliente
And a plant breathes and the hot air
Y el vapor de una nube destila una gota
And the vapor of a cloud distils a drop
Que oscila un instante reacia
That oscillates a reluctant moment
Y hacia el suelo cae
and to the ground falls
Tarde o temprano
Sooner or later
