Yo envidio el viento
I envy the wind
Que susurra en tu oído
That whispers in your ear
Que llama en invierno
That calls in winter
Congela tus dedos
Freezes your fingers
Que se mueve en tu cabello
That moves in your hair
Que parte tus labios
That parts your lips
Que congela hasta tus huesos
That chills you to the bone
Yo envidio el viento
I envy the wind
Yo envidio la lluvia
I envy the rain
Que cae en tu cara
That falls on your face
Que moja tus pestañas
That moistens your eyelashes
Humedece tu piel
Moistens your skin
Que toca tu lengua
That touches your tongue
Toca mi ser, remoja
Touch my being, soak me
Gotea en tu espalda
Drips on your back
Yo envidio la lluvia
I envy the rain
Yo envidio el Sol
I envy the Sun
Que ilumina tu verano
That lights up your summer
Que calienta tu cuerpo
That warms your body
Que mantiene tu calor
That keeps your heat
Tu día hace fuerte
Your day makes you strong
Te da calor
It gives you warmth
Te hace sudar
It makes you sweat
Yo envidio el Sol
I envy the Sun
Yo envidio el Sol
I envy the Sun
Yo envidio el viento
I envy the wind
Yo envidio la lluvia
I envy the rain
Yo envidio el Sol
I envy the Sun
