Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Todo Es Hoy by Surfistas Del Sistema from Spanish to English.
Quiero estar despierto, repto en el desierto
I want to be awake, I crawl in the desert
Hoy pronunciaré tu nombre
Today I will pronounce your name
Busco una mirada limpia y transformada
I seek a clean and transformed look
Hoy renunciaré a mi nombre
Today I will renounce my name
Nombre, nombre, nombre, nombre, nombre
Name, name, name, name, name
Dos olas cuidan el mar
Two waves take care of the sea
Como esfinges en el sol
Like sphinxes in the sun
Un arcoíris sensual
A sensual rainbow
El destino todo es hoy
Destiny is all today
Junto a un amuleto, el signo de un recuerdo
Next to an amulet, the sign of a memory
Hoy me escribiré tu nombre
Today I will write your name
Creo en tu palabra, cuida mis plegarias
I believe in your word, take care of my prayers
Hoy reencarnaré en tu nombre
Today I will reincarnate in your name
Nombre, nombre, nombre, nombre, nombre
Name, name, name, name, name
Dos olas cuidan el mar
Two waves take care of the sea
Como esfinges en el sol
Like sphinxes in the sun
Un arcoíris sensual
A sensual rainbow
El destino todo es hoy
Destiny is all today
Todo es hoy
Everything is today
Hoy sos vos
Today it's you
Todo es hoy
Everything is today
Hoy sos vos
Today it's you
