Las casas de madera [English translation]

The wind blows,

it is so cold outside,

wooden houses

only creak,

the dead leaves

cover the paths

and I'm still

covered by black clouds.

The wind blows,

and nothing can confort me

without you my life

will end and you won't even notice,

my soul is getting weaker,

I wish you could see me,

the sight of me is sad,

I'm full of sadness.

The wind makes cracks

in the wooden houses,

and if you don't come back

I will be buried soon.

That's the way the wooden house were,

in-between the cracks

the wind sung a melody,

and then cement came,

now there are only block buildings,

only iron and bricks.

The wind blows,

and nothing can confort me

without you my life

will end and you won't even notice,

my soul is getting weaker,

I wish you could see me,

the sight of me is sad,

I'm full of sadness.

The wooden houses

look like if they're falling down,

they are complaining, just like me,

since the day you're gone.

The wind makes cracks

in the wooden houses,

and if you don't come back

I will be buried soon.
