Parece mentira que después de tanto tiempo
Rotos nuestros lazos
Sigamos manteniendo la ilusión en nuestro aniversario
It seems unbelievable that after so much time
With our ties broken
We still keep the illusion of our anniversary
La misma mesita que nos ha visto amarrar
Las manos por debajo
Cuida que el rincón de siempre permanezca reservado
The same little table that has seen us secure
Our hands below
Make sure that our usual corner remains ours
Y aunque la historia se acabó
Hay algo vivo en este amor
Que aunque empeñados en soplar (na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na)
Hay llamas que ni con el mar
Even though our story has ended
There’s still something live in this love
Even if we try to put it out (na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na)
There are flames that the sea can’t put out
Las flores de mayo, poco a poco cederán
A las patas de gallo
Y nos buscaremos con los ojos por si queda algo
The May flowers will gradually give way
To the crow’s feet
And we will search for each other with our eyes in case something remains
El siete de septiembre es
Es nuestro aniversario
Y no sabemos si besarnos en la cara o en los labios
September 7th is
Our anniversary
And we don’t know whether to kiss each other on the cheek or on the lips
Y aunque la historia se acabó
Hay algo vivo en este amor
Que aunque empeñados en soplar (na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na)
Hay llamas que ni con el mar
Even though our story has ended
There’s still something live in this love
Even if we try to put it out (na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na)
There are flames that the sea can’t put out
El siete de septiembre es
Es nuestro aniversario
Es nuestro aniversario
September 7th is
Our anniversary
It’s our anniversary
