12 segundos de oscuridad
(Letra: Jorge Drexler / Música: Vitor Ramil)
Sepúlveda, 27/03/06
Gira el haz de luz
para que se vea desde alta mar.
Yo buscaba el rumbo de regreso
sin quererlo encontrar.
Pie detrás de pie
iba tras el pulso de claridad
la noche cerrada, apenas se abría,
se volvía a cerrar.
Un faro quieto nada sería
guía, mientras no deje de girar
no es la luz lo que importa en verdad
son los 12 segundos de oscuridad.
Para que se vea desde alta mar...
De poco le sirve al navegante
que no sepa esperar.
Pie detrás de pie
no hay otra manera de caminar
la noche del Cabo
revelada en un inmenso radar.
Un faro para, sólo de día,
guía, mientras no deje de girar
no es la luz lo que importa en verdad
son los 12 segundos de oscuridad.

ENGLISH:
12 seconds in the dark
(Lyrics: Jorge Drexler / Music: Vitor Ramil)
Sepúlveda, 03/27/06
The beam of light turns
so it can be seen from the high seas.
I searched for the path of return
without meaning to find it.
One step at a time
i followed the pulse of light.
the dark night only opened up
as it was about to close again.
A still lighthouse would be nothing
it guides as long as it doesn’t stop turning
it’s not only the light that’s important actually
but it’s also the twelve seconds in the dark.
So it can be seen from the high seas...
It’s of little use to the sailor
who doesn’t know how to wait.
One step at a time
there’s no other way to walk
the night of the Cape
revealed in an immense radar.
A lighthouse ceases, only in the day,
it guides as long as it doesn’t stop turning
it’s not just the light that’s important actually
it’s also the twelve seconds in the dark.
