about

'Noche'

Noche is a song about the texture of the night in the forest where I grew up. The stars monstrous, the darkness like felt, and a sweet smell piercing the tense air like soft laser or a flute, making everything feel medieval. It's a love letter to this place.

lyrics

[ES]

La noche con la misma cualidad de fieltro
el aire en suspenso y medieval
con orillas afiladas
Las estrellas igual de monstruosas
y comprensivas
que en el campo donde yo crecí.

Sentó el referente mi padre
cuando manejo su vocho sin faros
porque la luna estaba plena.
Azotaba ella y el silencio entre los árboles
y el perfume metálico y dulce
inundaba el aire como un oboe.

[EN]

The night with the same quality of felt
the air medieval and in suspense
with sharp edges
The stars just as monstrous
and comprehensive
as in the field where I grew up.

My father set the reference
when he drove his bug without headlights
because the moon was full.
Her and the silence flogged amongst the trees
and the sweet metallic perfume
flooded the air like an oboe.
