Canción
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG ENG FRE
Por traidores, tus ojos,
voy a enterrarlos;
No sabes lo que cuesta,
«Del aire»
Niña, el mirarlos.
«Madre a la orilla
Madre.»
Dicen que no me quieres,
Ya me has querido...
Váyase lo ganado,
«Del aire»
Por lo perdido,
«Madre a la orilla
Madre.»

Song
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
Because your eyes are traitors
I am going to forget them;
You don't what it costs
"[This] demeanor"
Little girl, to look at them.
"Mother, at the [river]bank,
Mother."
They say they don't love me,
[But] once they did love me...
[What was] won goes away,
"[This] demeanor"
[Becoming what was] lost,
Mother, at the [river]bank,
Mother."
