Lyrics in Spanish:
Mucho tiempo después de alejarme,
vuelvo al barrio que un día dejé...
con el ansia de ver por sus calles
mis viejos amigos, el viejo café.
En la noche tranquila y oscura
hasta el aire parece decir:
"No te olvides que siempre fui tuya
y sigo esperando que vuelvas a mí".

En esta noche vuelvo a ser
aquel muchacho soñador
que supo amarte y con sus versos
te brindó sus penas...
Hay una voz que me dice al oído :
"Yo sé que has venido
por ella... por ella !".
Qué amable y qué triste es a la vez
la soledad del arrabal
con sus casitas y los árboles que pintan sombras.
Sentir que todo... que todo la nombra,
¡qué ganas enormes me dan de llorar!

Bajo el cielo cubierto de estrellas
una sombra parezco al pasar...
No he de verme jamás con aquella
¡qué tanto mi quiso... y hoy debo olvidar!
En la noche tranquila y oscura
hasta el aire parece decir:
"Para qué recordar que fui tuya
si yo ya no espero que vuelvas a mí!".

Translation:
Long after having moved away,
I return to the quarter I left one day,
longing to see its streets,
my old friends, the old coffee place.

In the calm and dark night,
even the air seems to say:
"Do not forget that I was always yours,
and I keep hoping for you to return to me".

Tonight, I am again
that dreamy boy,
who could love you and
offered you his sorrow with his poems...

I hear a voice whispering to my ear:
"I know that you have come
for her... for her!"
So pleasant and yet so sad is
the solitude of the suburb,
with its small houses and the trees that paint shades.
Have the feeling that everything, everything reminds me of her,
giving me an enormous desire to cry!

Under a sky covered with stars,
I look like a passing shade.
I should never meet the one,
who wanted me so much, and whom I should forget today!

In the dark and tranquil night,
even the air seems to say:
"why remember today that I was once yours,
If I no longer hope that you will ever return to me!"
