El muchacho de los ojos tristes
Vive solo y necesita amor
Como el aire, necesita verme
Como al sol, lo necesito yo
El muchacho de los ojos tristes (That boy is gloomy)
Ha encontrado al fin una razón (I wanna maintain him)
Para hacer que su mirada ría (And seize the evening)
Con mis besos y mi gran amor

Han pasado dos años
Te sigo pensando en todos mis sentidos
Antes eran tus ojos lloviendo en otoño
Y ahora son los míos

Cómo cambió, amor
Felices éramos los dos
Y ahora lloro, por Dios
