Jorge Drexler — Durante song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Durante" by Jorge Drexler.
Lyrics
En cambio constante
todo se mueve y deja de ser
lo que era antes.
A marchas forzadas
no hay nada viejo bajo este sol
todo dura nada.
¿Quién quiere ser eterno
quién quiere ser eterno testigo?
¿Quién quiere estar girando por siempre
mirando su ombligo?
Historias cruzadas
cada cual en su propio ajedrez
su propia jugada.
En cambio constante
nunco hubo antes
no habrá después
tan sólo durante.
¿Quién quiere ser eterno
quien quiere ser eterno testigo?
¿Quién quiere estar girando por siempre
mirando su ombligo?
Lyrics translation
In constant change
everything moves and ceases to be
what it was before.
Forced marches
there's nothing old under this sun
everything lasts nothing.
Who wants to be eternal
who wants to be an eternal witness?
Who wants to be spinning forever
looking at his navel?
Cross stories
each in his own chess
his own move.
In constant change
never been before
there will be no after
just for a while.
Who wants to be eternal
who wants to be an eternal witness?
Who wants to be spinning forever
looking at his navel?
