Tú y las nubes [English translation]

I go on flying low

my love is on the ground

and you're so high, so high

looking at my grief

knowing that I'm a man

that is so far from the sky

I go on flying low

just because you don't love me

and I'm nailed to you

having so many pleasures

I like to feel your steps

having so many women

You and the clouds drive me crazy

you and the clouds are going to kill me

I whirl a bit higher

you don't know to look below

I wasn't born poor

I like all the good things

and you'll have to love me

or I'll die in battle

but those lips of yours

will have to tell me I love you

Tree of hope

that lives alone in the field

you say if I don't forget her

or tell me if I don't bear her

that after all my eyes

are going to fill with tears

You and the clouds drive me crazy

you and the clouds are going to kill me

I whirl a bit higher

you don't know to look below.
