Sola sin tu cariño
Alone without your love
Voy caminando
I'm walking on
Voy caminando
I'm walking on
Y no sé qué hacer
And I don't know what to do
Ni el cielo me contesta
Not even the sky answers me
Cuando pregunto por ti, mujer
When I ask about you, woman
Mientras yo estoy dormida
While I'm asleep
Sueño que vamos
I dream that we go
Los dos muy juntos
The two of us very close
A un cielo azul
To a blue sky
Pero cuando despierto
But when I wake up
El cielo rojo me faltas tú
The red sky, you're the one I miss
Deja que yo te busque y si te encuentro
Let me search for you and if I find you
Y si te encuentro vuelve otra vez
And if I find you, come back once more
Olvida lo pasado
Forget the past
Ya no te acuerdes de aquel ayer
Don't remember that yesterday anymore
Olvida lo pasado
Forget the past
Ya no te acuerdes de aquel...
Don't remember that...
De aquel, aquel
That one, that one
De aquel, aquel, de aquel
That one, that one, that one
De aquel, de aquel ayer
From that, from that yesterday
