| De Cal Y De Arena (original) | De Cal Y De Arena (translation) |
|---|---|
| Llora sobre el rio seco | Cry over the dry river |
| Mi cancion desconsolada | my heartbroken song |
| A orillitas del silencio | On the shores of silence |
| Porque no me has dicho nada | because you haven't told me anything |
| Tanta luna prometida | so many promised moon |
| Me ha tapado todo el cielo | She has covered all the sky |
| De tu brasita encendida | of your burning brass |
| No he sabido hacerme fuego | I have not known how to make myself fire |
| Despojado como el arbol | Stripped like the tree |
| DE LA FLOR why SU ENRAMADA | OF THE FLOWER AND ITS ENRAMADA |
| El invierno me ha alcanzado | winter has caught up with me |
| De no verte enamorada | of not seeing you in love |
| Estribillo | Chorus |
| Lo que tengo te lo debo | What I have I owe you |
| Lo que soy me lo he ganado | What I am I have earned |
| La de arena por amarte | The one of sand for loving you |
| La de cal, por desconfiado | The one with lime, for being distrustful |
| Cuando la intencion no alcanza | When the intention is not enough |
| Hierro firme, la pereza | Steadfast iron, sloth |
| Monedita en la balanza | Coin on the scale |
| Pierde por su ligereza | Loses by its lightness |
| Como espejo de la noche | Like a mirror of the night |
| En tus ojos me he mirado | In your eyes I have looked |
| Ya no tengo en que mirarme | I no longer have to look at myself |
| Pero sigo enamorado | but i'm still in love |
| Tarde para los lamentos | late for regrets |
| Para retenerte, tarde | To hold you late |
| Pa’morirme muy temprano | To die very early |
| Tempranito pa’olvidarte | Early to forget you |
