Esta va para mi compadre
This one goes to my compadre
El viento sopla
The wind blows
Que frio hace afuera
how cold it is outside
Nomas rechinan las casas de madera
Only the wooden houses creak
Las hojas secas tapizan las veredas
The dry leaves cover the sidewalks
Y a mí me siguen cubriendo nubes negras
And black clouds keep covering me
El viento sopla
The wind blows
Y nada me consuela
and nothing comforts me
Sin ti mi vida se acaba y ni te enteras
Without you my life ends and you don't even know
Mi alma flaquea quisiera que me vieras
My soul falters I would like you to see me
Mi estampa es triste me tupe la tristeza
My image is sad, I covered the sadness
Las casa de madera
The wooden houses
Parecen derrumbarse
seem to collapse
Igual que ellos se quejan
just like they complain
Desde que te marchaste
since you left
Las casas de madera
the wooden houses
Se agrietan con el aire
They crack in the air
Y a mí si no regresas
And to me if you don't come back
Un día van a enterrarme
One day they're going to bury me
Así era la casa de madera
This was the wooden house
Por la ranura del tablón
Through the groove of the plank
Cantaba el viento una melodía
The wind sang a melody
Nomas llegó el cemento
The cement just arrived
Orá ya puro condominio de block
Orá already pure block condominium
Pura varilla
pure rod
Puro cuarto de Tabique y tabicón
Pure partition and partition room
El viento sopla
The wind blows
Y nada me consuela
and nothing comforts me
Sin ti mi vida se acaba y ni te enteras
Without you my life ends and you don't even know
Mi alma flaquea quisiera que me vieras
My soul falters I would like you to see me
Mi estampa es triste me tupe la tristeza
My image is sad, I covered the sadness
Las casa de madera
The wooden houses
Parecen derrumbarse
seem to collapse
Igual que ellos se quejan
just like they complain
Desde que te marchaste
since you left
Las casas de madera
the wooden houses
Se agrietan con el aire
They crack in the air
Y a mí si no regresas
And to me if you don't come back
Un día van a enterrarme
One day they're going to bury me
