The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Eco" by Jorge Drexler.

Lyrics

Esto que estás oyendo
Ya no soy yo, es el eco, el eco, el eco
De un sentimiento, su luz fugaz
Alumbrando desde otro tiempo
Una hoja lejana que lleva y que trae el viento
Yo, sin embargo, siento que estás aquí
Desafiando las leyes del tiempo y de la distancia
Sutil, quizás tan real como una fragancia
Un brevísimo lapso de estado de gracia
Eco, eco
Ocupando de a poco el espacio
De mi abrazo hueco
Esto que canto ahora continuará
Derivando latente en el éter eternamente
Inerte, así a la espera de aquél oyente
Que despierte a su eco de siglos de bella durmiente
Eco, eco
Ocupando de a poco el espacio
De mi abrazo hueco
Esto que estás oyendo
Ya no soy yo

Lyrics translation

This is what you're hearing
It's not me anymore, it's the echo, the echo, the Echo
Of a feeling, its fleeting light
Lighting from another time
A distant leaf that carries and brings the wind
I, however, feel you're here
Challenging the laws of time and distance
Subtle, perhaps as real as a fragrance
A very short lapse of grace
Echo, Echo
Slowly occupying the space
From my hollow embrace
This I sing now will continue
Drifting latent in the ether eternally
Inert, so waiting for that listener
That awakens to its echo of centuries of Sleeping Beauty
Echo, Echo
Slowly occupying the space
From my hollow embrace
This is what you're hearing
It's not me anymore.
