Tú llevas rosas frescas en el alma
You carry fresh roses in your soul
Yo, el desengaño abrumador y eterno
I, the overwhelming and eternal disillusion
Tú, de un cielo estival tienes la calma
You, with the calm of a summer sky
Yo, la aciaga tristeza del invierno
I, the gloomy sadness of winter
Y por eso, al mirarte entre el derroche
And that’s why, when I see you among the splendor
Que hacen tus ojos de ilusión temprana
That your eyes create with early illusion
Formamos un contraste el de la noche
We form a contrast, like night
Frente al naciente sol de la mañana
Against the rising sun of the morning
Y por eso, al mirarte entre el derroche
And that’s why, when I see you among the splendor
Que hacen tus ojos de ilusión temprana
That your eyes create with early illusion
Formamos un contraste el de la noche
We create a contrast, the one of the night
Frente al naciente sol de la mañana
Against the rising sun of the morning
