These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Lo cierto es que todo se mueve
What's certain is that everything moves
Con cierta desorientación
with a certain disorientation
El día que tratas pasando de serlo
the day you try to stop being it
Ese día con vos también se murió
that day with you also died
Cada paso que me alejo, tengo que saber
Every step I move away, I have to know
Que el tiempo que me lleva no es para volver
that the time it takes me isn't for coming back
No hay sobrevivientes en este planeta
There are no survivors on this planet
Tan sólo un instante la vida es hoy
life is just an instant today
Pero hay enfrente tanto camino
but there's so much road ahead
Y lo cierto es que todo se desorientó
and what's certain is that everything got disoriented
Las coordenadas no tienen sentido
The coordinates don't make sense
Tampoco la hora que da el reloj
nor the time the clock shows
En cuanto estoy cerca del sueño divino
as soon as I'm close to the divine dream
No va y se activa el despertador
it just goes and the alarm clock turns on
Cada paso que me alejo, tengo que saber
Every step I move away, I have to know
Que el tiempo que me lleva no es para volver
that the time it takes me isn't for coming back
El radar que apunta la mente siniestra
The radar that points the sinister mind
Hacia el satélite del amor
towards the satellite of love
Y toda la cuenta trayendo pendiente
and bringing up all the pending bill
Desde que lo cierto se desorientó
since what's certain got disoriented
Y cuando estoy frente al mundo despierto
And when I face the awakened world
La brújula marca otra dirección
the compass points another direction
Ahí adelante hay un nuevo desvío
right ahead there's a new detour
Para desafío de mi situación
as a challenge to my situation
Cada paso que me alejo, tengo que saber
Every step I move away, I have to know
Que el tiempo que me lleva no es para volver
that the time it takes me isn't for coming back
Y si un día como caminante
And if one day as a wanderer
No quiero perderme entonces quien soy
I don't want to get lost then who am I
Habré de ubicarme seguro cantando
I'll surely have to locate myself singing
Este blues de desorientación
this blues of disorientation
Cada paso que me alejo, tengo que saber
Every step I move away, I have to know
Que el tiempo que me lleva no es para volver
that the time it takes me isn't for coming back

Did you like this lyrics translation?

desorientación — disorientation

Desorientación means "disorientation" or "confusion." It's a central theme of the song, even appearing in the title, making it a key word for understanding the lyrics.

The song uses this word to describe a feeling of being lost and without direction in life, where familiar guides like coordinates, time, and even a compass no longer make sense. It's a powerful metaphor for existential uncertainty.
