Hoy corté un flor (y llovía y llovía)

Pasaba, corría

Passed by, ran

Y desierta quedó la ciudad, pues llovía

And the city was left deserted, for it rained

Yo me puse a pensar tantas cosas bonitas

Como el día en la playa cuando te conocía

Como jugaba el viento

Con tu pelo de niña

With your girl-like hair

Ay que suerte, que suerte

Oh what luck, what luck
