Mi calle desierta
My deserted street
Cuantas veces me has visto llorando
How many times have you seen me crying
Llamar a su puerta
Call at his door
Sin llevarle mas que una canción
Just bring him a song
Un pedazo de mi corazón
A piece of my heart
Sin llevarle mas nada que un beso
Just bring him nothing but a kiss
Friolento y travieso,
Cold and mischievous,
Amargo y dulzón...
Bitter and sweet...
