Don de fluir - Jorge Drexler | Lyrics/Letra | English translation

Version featuring Celso Fonseca
Lyrics:
The two speakers outside
The music in the balcony
Falling along the sidewalk
In a sonorous gush
Somebody offers me a drink
Somebody wants to talk to me
I just want you to look at me
As I look at you twirl
You’re wearing your hair down
And sandals on your feet
Your little violet dress
Fits whole inside a nut
Somebody’s asking me questions
Somebody offers me a smoke
I say yes to it all
Just to get to see you dance
I just want to see you dance
I just want to see you dance
I’d like to see you twirling, twirling
And watching me watch
I’m that quiet guy
With an intellectual air
That looks at you sideways
Just to pretend
Thank you, but I do not dance
Maybe next time
My knees are clumsy
And your feet are fast
I just want to see you dance
I just want to see you dance
I’d like to see you twirling, twirling
And watching me watch
Because you dance
As one who breathes
With an ancient gift of flowing
You dance and it seems so easy
Like letting your heart beat
The two speakers outside
The music in the balcony
Falling along the sidewalk
In a sonorous gush
Us musicians don’t dance
You must’ve heard it said
Thank you anyway
Thank you for insisting
I just want to see you dance
I just want to see you dance
I’d like to see you twirling, twirling
And watching me watch
I just want to see you dance
I just want to see you dance
I’d like to see you twirling, twirling
And watching me watch
Because you dance
As one who breathes
With an ancient gift of flowing
