Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

vuelan al viento sus hojas

Leaves fly away with the wind

los álamos dicen adiós

The poplars say goodbye

a este verano marchito

To this withered summer

que nuestro amor contempló

That our love watched over

hoy es la última noche

Tonight is the last night

mañana tú partirás

Tomorrow, you will leave

hacia destinos extraños

To distant places

quién sabe si volverás, volverás

Who knows if you'll return, return

el verano termina ya

Summer's ending now

y con él mi amor se va

And with it, my love goes away

adiós verano, adiós

Goodbye summer, goodbye

flores y campos marchitarán

Flowers and fields will wither

ya no habrá más primavera

There'll be no more spring

adiós verano, adiós

Goodbye summer, goodbye

la noche despliega su manto

The night unfolds its cloak

el pájaro enmudeció

The bird has fallen silent

la fuente paró su canto

The fountain stopped its singing

no quieren decirte adiós

They don’t want to say goodbye to you

puede que un día regreses

Maybe one day you'll come back

o puede que no vuelvas más

Or maybe you’ll never return

aunque cien años pasaran

Even if a hundred years pass

no te podría olvidar, olvidar

I couldn't forget you, forget

...
