[English]

Leaves fly away with the wind

The poplars say goodbye

To this withered summer

That our love watched over

Tonight is the last night

Tomorrow, you will leave

To distant places

Who knows if you'll return, return

Summer's ending now

And with it, my love goes away

Goodbye summer, goodbye

Flowers and fields will wither

There'll be no more spring

Goodbye summer, goodbye

The night unfolds its cloak

The bird has fallen silent

The fountain stopped its singing

They don’t want to say goodbye to you

Maybe one day you'll come back

Or maybe you’ll never return

Even if a hundred years pass

I couldn't forget you, forget

...

[Spanish]

vuelan al viento sus hojas

los álamos dicen adiós

a este verano marchito

que nuestro amor contempló

hoy es la última noche

mañana tú partirás

hacia destinos extraños

quién sabe si volverás, volverás

el verano termina ya

y con él mi amor se va

adiós verano, adiós

flores y campos marchitarán

ya no habrá más primavera

adiós verano, adiós

la noche despliega su manto

el pájaro enmudeció

la fuente paró su canto

no quieren decirte adiós

puede que un día regreses

o puede que no vuelvas más

aunque cien años pasaran

no te podría olvidar, olvidar
