Lyrics

Español

La casita sobre el lago azul, el nido y luz de nuestro amor, fue testigo fiel de nuestro adiós y hoy llora en silencio por los dos. Cuando faltes tú en el lago azul, mi quimera gris buscará tu amor. Y a mi corazón llamará el dolor, en el lago azul de mi soledad. Siempre hay que pagar con gran dolor después de amar con gran pasión. La casita sobre el lago azul hoy llora en silencio por los dos.

English · machine translation

The little house on the blue lake, the nest and light of our love, was a faithful witness of our goodbye and today it weeps silently for both of us. When you are gone in the blue lake, my gray chimera will look for your love. And my heart will call pain, in the blue lake of my loneliness. It is always necessary to pay with great pain after loving with great passion. The little house on the blue lake today weeps silently for both of us.
