[English]

Every time I long for you

And in my dreams, I call your name

When I reach out with my hands

And don't find yours

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

Because I know that throughout the day

I will be crying

...

I look out the window

It's a bright, sunny day

I wish I were with you

Walking down the street

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

Because I know that throughout the day

I will be crying

I feel in our room

The scent of the flower

That, upon leaving so quickly

Was forgotten

...

When I find in my hands

One of your hairs

When I look in the mirror

And don't see your image

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

Because I know that throughout the day

I will be crying

I look out the window

It's a bright, sunny day

I wish I were with you

Walking down the street

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world

It's the saddest day in the world...

[Spanish]

Cada vez que amance

Y entre sueños te nombro

Cuando extiendo mis manos

Y no encuentro las tuyas

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Porque se que a lo largo del mismo

Llorando estaré

Miro por la ventana

Hace un día radiante

Desearía contigo

Caminar por la calle

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Porque se que a lo largo del mismo

Llorando estaré

Siento en nuestra habitación

El perfume de la flor

Que al marcharse tan deprisa

Se olvidó

Cuando encuentro en mis manos

Uno de tus cabellos

Cuando miro al espejo

Y no veo tu imagen

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Porque se que a lo largo del mismo

Llorando estaré

Miro por la ventana

Hace un día radiante

Desearía contigo

Caminar por la calle

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo

Es el día más triste del mundo...
