El viento hará crujir las ramas
The wind will make the branches creak
La bruma vestirá su manta blanca
The fog will wear its white blanket
Tantas hojas caerán, la senda cubrirán
So many leaves will fall, they'll cover the path
Octubre tendrá su revancha
October will have its revenge
El sol surgirá velado
The sun will rise veiled
Y buscaremos el calor deseado
And we will seek the warmth desired
Tus pañuelos en collar, tardía vas a hallar
Your handkerchiefs in a necklace, you'll find too late
Octubre en la fuente durmiendo
October sleeping in the fountain
Volveremos a ver, en las mesas de ayer
We will see again, at the tables of yesterday
Algún vaso descuidado
Some careless glass
Y un cielo bajo, apenado
And a low sky, sorrowful
Te daré una flor y manteles de color
I'll give you a flower and colored tablecloths
Para ser de Octubre olvidados
To be forgotten in October
En la cumbre, allá en la colina
At the peak, there on the hill
Veremos todo lo que octubre ilumina
We will see everything that October illuminates
Serán tuyas mis manos, abrigados los dos
My hands will be yours, both sheltered
Frente al mundo que se inclina
Facing the world that bows down
Volveremos a ver recordando el ayer
We'll meet again remembering yesterday
Algún hombre reclinado
Some man reclined
Y un cielo bajo, apenado
And a low sky, sorrowful
Te daré una flor y manteles de color
I'll give you a flower and colorful tablecloths
Para ser de octubre olvidados
To be forgotten in October
Sin duda se verán en las ventanas
Without doubt, they'll be seen in the windows
Marionetas de vapor dibujadas
Steam puppets drawn
Y nosotros jugando, como niños brincando
And us playing, like children jumping
Octubre quedará, quién sabe
October will remain, who knows
Y nosotros jugando
And us playing
Como niños brincando
Like children jumping
Octubre quedará, quién sabe
October will remain, who knows
