Memorias de una vieja canción [English translation]

La ra la ra la ra ra...

This sunless day is all mine,

My window is being blasted by so much coldness...

(There's) an old song in my guitar;

An old song that cannot be forgotten.

It's the same song that one day drew us close

In the distant beaches of your old country;

And Autumn, as it watches the leaves fall,

Comes to me and soaks me through with its grey rain...

Why is it that I cannot forget your song?

It's probably because I've loved you so much

That sitting in this very room,

(Reclined) over this very table

Yesterday I wept over you!

Why is it that I cannot forget your song

Even though the river has flown away and won't come back?

Eternal clock of our hours

And this song, which weeps

All over my picture window...

La ra la ra la...
