De rojo los ojos que yo tengo para ver
To red the eyes I have to see
Vas a mentirme otra vez
You will lie to me once more
Las hojas que vimos caer
The leaves we saw fall
Alfombran los parques de un

Se pasea la gente mayor
The elderly stroll
En busca de un sueño mejor
In search of a better dream
Las parejas se protegen, amor
