Abre las hojas del viento, mi vida
Open the leaves of the wind, my life
Ponle una montura al río
Put a saddle on the river
Cabalga y si te da frío, te arropas
Ride it and if you get cold, wrap yourself up
Con la piel de las estrellas
With the skin of the stars
De almohada la luna llena, mi vida
The full moon as my pillow, my life
Y de sueño el amor mío
And in dreams, my love
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer
And a poppy told me yesterday
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pintó la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo
To wake up with you
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer
And a poppy told me yesterday
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pintó la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo
To wake up with you
Cierra la noche y el día, mi vida
Close the night and the day, my love
Para que todo sea nuestro
So that everything belongs to us
Y una gran fuga de besos
And a great escape of kisses
Se pose sobre tu boca
Lands upon your mouth
Y que el trinar de las rosas, mi vida
And let the singing of the roses, my love
Te digan cuánto te quiero
Tell you how much I love you
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer
And a poppy told me yesterday
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pintó la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo, oh, oh, oh
To wake up with you, oh, oh, oh
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer (me lo dijo)
And a poppy told me yesterday (told me)
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pintó la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo
To wake up with you
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le
Lei-re-re-le-le
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le (oh, oh, oh)
Lei-re-re-le-le
Lei-re-re-le-le
