| Bohemia de París | Bohemia of Paris |
| Alegre lo que hay gris | Cheer what is gray |
| De un tiempo ya pasado | of a time already past |
| ¿En donde? | Where? |
| En un desván | in a loft |
| Con traje de cancán | With can-can suit |
| Posaba para tí | posed for you |
| Y tú con devoción | and you with devotion |
| Pintabas con pasión | you painted with passion |
| Mi cuerpo fatigado | my tired body |
| Hasta el amanecer | Until sunrise |
| A veces sin comer | sometimes without eating |
| Y siempre sin dormir | And always without sleep |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Era el amor, felicidad | It was love, happiness |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Era una flor de nuestra edad | She was a flower of our age |
| Debajo de un quinqué | under an oil lamp |
| La mesa del café | the coffee table |
| Feliz nos reunía | Happy we met |
| Hablando sin cesar | talking endlessly |
| Soñando con llegar | dreaming of arriving |
| La gloria conseguir | get the glory |
| Y cuando de un pintor | And when of a painter |
| Hallaba un comprador | found a buyer |
| Y un lienzo le vendía | And a canvas sold him |
| Solíamos gritar con él | We used to scream with him |
| Y pasear alegres por París | And walk happily through Paris |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Era jugar, te ví y te amé | It was play, I saw you and I loved you |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Yo junto a tí triunfar podré | I will be able to succeed with you |
| Teníamos salud | we had health |
| Sonrisa, juventud | smile, youth |
| Y nada en los bolsillos | And nothing in the pockets |
| Con frío y con calor | With cold and with heat |
| El mismo buen humor | the same good mood |
| Bailaba en nuestra sed | danced in our thirst |
| Luchando siempre igual | always fighting the same |
| Con hambre hasta el final | Hungry to the end |
| Hacíamos castillos | we made castles |
| Y el ansia de vivir | And the desire to live |
| Nos hizo resistir | made us resist |
| Y no desfallecer | and not faint |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Era mirar amanecer | It was watching sunrise |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Era soñar con un querer | It was dreaming of a love |
| Hoy regresé a París | Today I returned to Paris |
| Crucé su niebla gris | I crossed your gray mist |
| Y lo encontré cambiado: | And I found it changed: |
| Las liras ya no están | The liras are no longer |
| Y suben al desván | And they go up to the attic |
| Moradas de pasión | abodes of passion |
| Soñando como ayer | dreaming like yesterday |
| Rondé por tu taller | I walked around your workshop |
| Lo habían derrumbado | they had knocked it down |
| Y han puesto en su lugar | And they have put in its place |
| A bajo un café-bar | A under a café-bar |
| Y arriba una pensión | And above a pension |
| (Intermedio musical) | (music intermission) |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Era el amor, felicidad | It was love, happiness |
| La Bohème, la Bohème | La Boheme, La Boheme |
| Era una flor de nuestra edad | She was a flower of our age |
