A la vera de mi casa
By the side of my house
Un arcoiris se ha escondido
A rainbow has hidden away
Me presento como amigo
I introduce myself as a friend
Y lo llevo de la mano
And I take it by the hand
A beber agua del rio
To drink water from the river
Caminamos por el monte
We walk through the hills
Despeinando sus colores
Disheveling its colors
Pero el verde se hizo pino
But the green turned into pine
Y el azul se enredaba
And the blue got tangled
En los cielos del camino
In the skies of the path
Y un buen dia mi arcoiris
And one good day my rainbow
Le dió amores a una nube
Gave love to a cloud
Desde entonces no he sabido
Since then I have not known
Quien lo lleva de la mano
Who takes it by the hand
A beber agua del rio
To drink water from the river
Quien te lleva
Who takes you
Agua del rio
Water from the river
Quien te lleva
Who takes you
Agua del rio
Water from the river
Quien te lleva
Who takes you
Agua del rio
Water of the river
Quien te lleva
Who will take you
Agua del rio
Water of the river
Quien te lleva
Who will take you
Quien te lleva
Who will take you
Quien te lleva
Who will take you
Quien te lleva
Who will take you
