El viento, el trueno y la lluvia
The wind, the thunder, and the rain
Me traen tu mensaje de dolor y coraje
Bring me your message of pain and courage
A veces mi torpeza es cruel
Sometimes my clumsiness is cruel
Me nubla el camino, es mi amor salvaje
It clouds my path, it's my wild love
Yo sé que tienes toda la razón
I know you are completely right
Pues herí sin piedad tu amante corazón
For I wounded your loving heart without mercy
Que me entregó su tesoro
That gave me its treasure
De amor, ternura y devoción
Of love, tenderness, and devotion
Por eso el viento acusa mi crueldad
That's why the wind blames my cruelty
El trueno tu orgullo herido
The thunder your wounded pride
La lluvia mi incomprensión
The rain, my misunderstanding
Insensato amor salvaje
Foolish wild love
Que no ha sabido apreciar
That hasn't known how to appreciate
Lo que en verdad tu vales
What you're truly worth
Y por eso el viento acusa mi crueldad
And that's why the wind blames my cruelty
El trueno tu orgullo herido
The thunder, your wounded pride
La lluvia mi incomprensión
The rain, my misunderstanding
Insensato amor salvaje
Foolish wild love
Que no ha sabido apreciar
That hasn't known how to appreciate
Lo que en verdad tu vales
What you're truly worth
