Esta es una vieja historia que
This is an old story that
Se contaba mucho tiempo atrás
Was told a long time ago
Es una vieja historia, pero algo te dirá
It's an old story, but it will tell you something
Eran tiempos de oscuridad
There were times of darkness
Cuando empezaba a soplar
When the dreadful wind began to blow
El maldito viento de una horrible enfermedad
The damn wind of a horrible disease
Fue así que el príncipe pensó
That's how the prince thought
Encerrarse en su castillo
To lock himself in his castle
Con amigos de verdad
With true friends
Fue así como pensó
That’s how he thought
Quedarse dentro sin salir
Staying inside without going out
Hasta que cesara ya
Until the fear finally ceased
Todo aquel miedo
All that fear
Y toda aquella oscuridad, ah
And all that darkness, ah
En el castillo había alegría
In the castle there was joy
Y se estaba en buena compañía
And one was in good company
No faltó comida y danzaban sin parar
There was no lack of food and they danced non-stop
No podía nadie imaginar
No one could imagine
Que pudiese algún día llegar
That one day it could arrive
El maldito viento que les alcanzó al final
The cursed wind that caught them in the end
Te escribo a ti estas cosas que
I write to you these things that
Son de un pasado que
Are from a past that
Nos parece no pasar
Seems not to pass
Todo esto te escribí
All this I wrote to you
A ti que pronto nacerás
To you who will soon be born
Y no sé qué sucederá
And I don't know what will happen
Si este viento
If this wind
Habrá abandonado la ciudad, ah, yeah
Has abandoned the city, ah, yeah
Todo esto te escribí
All this I wrote to you
A ti que pronto nacerás
To you who will soon be born
Y no sé qué sucederá
And I don't know what will happen
Si este viento habrá abandonado la ciudad
If this wind will have left the city
Yo no sé qué mundo encontrarás
I don’t know what world you will find
Pero en mi deseo tú serás
But in my desire, you will be
Hijo de una nueva y más justa humanidad
Child of a new and fairer humanity
