Al caer la tarde por el callejón
As the evening falls down the alley
Las calles vacías, sale El Sombrerón
The empty streets, out comes El Sombrerón
Con guitarra en mano, melodiosa voz
With guitar in hand, a melodious voice
Uhh, ¿quién se puede resistir?
Uhh, who could possibly resist?
Entró en gran silencio a sus oídos sus pensamientos
He entered in great silence to her ears, her thoughts
Quedó hipnotizada, sin palabras, atrapada
She was mesmerized, speechless, trapped
La luz de la luna brilla en su guitarra
The moonlight shines on his guitar
El viajero solitario busca bellas damas
The lonely traveler seeks beautiful ladies
De cabellos largos y ojos muy grandes
With long hair and very big eyes
En la negra noche la acaricia mientras canta
In the dark night he caresses her while he sings
Entró en gran silencio a sus oídos sus pensamientos
He entered in great silence, his thoughts in her ears
Quedó hipnotizada, sin palabras, atrapada
She was hypnotized, wordless, ensnared
Su ausencia la enferma, entre mundos desvanece
His absence makes her ill, she fades between worlds
Pobre desdichado, llora su mala fortuna
Poor wretch, he weeps for his bad luck
Al caer la tarde por el callejón
As evening falls down the alley
Las calles vacías, sale El Sombrerón
The empty streets, out comes El Sombrerón
