Imperfecto v.s Futuro

Cuando sólo escuchas el latido de tu corazón. Encontraras entre su ritmo y el silencio, la razón The English translation to this lyrics is "When you only listen to the beat of your heartYou will find between it's rhythm and the silence, the reason" And my question is that why the verb "encontrar" conjugates to "encontraras", the imperfect subjunctive while the translation goes with the future tense, "you will find". Why do I need to use the imperfect subjunctive instead of the future tense? Thank you!

You found an incorrect version of the Spanish lyrics: it should be encontrarás.

well, I double checked the lyrics on three different websites, they go with "encontraras"(sin accento) However, in this sentence, it should be encontrarás, right? - Esperanza18, Mar 30, 2011
That´s right. Unfortunately online, tildes are forgotten all the time. - 005faa61, Mar 30, 2011
And then people ask why bother written accents! By the way, it is "acento", with one C. - lazarus1907, Mar 30, 2011
