Cuando tú te hayas ido
After you have gone away
Me envolverán las sombras
The shadows will surround me
Cuando tú te hayas ido
Once you have left
Con mi dolor a solas,
I will be alone with my pain,
Evocaré el idilio
And I will recall the love affair
De las azules horas
That bloomed under blue skies
Cuando tú te hayas ido
When you have departed
Me envolverán las sombras
The shadows will cloak me
Y en los tristes momentos
In those sad moments
Cuando mi alma te añora
When my soul misses you
Evocaré el recuerdo
I'll summon memories
De inolvidables horas
Of unforgettable hours
Te buscarán mis brazos
My arms will reach for you
Te buscará mi boca
My mouth will seek you
Y aspiraré en el aire
I will inhale in the air
Como un olor a rosas
The sweet scent of roses
Cuando tú te hayas ido
After you have left
Me envolverán las sombras
The shadows will surround me
